You will have to fill us in on the COPO 69 Nova. That is a very hot topic around here!

In the Hooper Camaro book there is a picture of a 1970 Berger Super Nova with SS hood and wheels. It has a wing on the back and some graphics. Do you know if this was a COPO LT1 Nova or a 402 or 454? In the interview with Mike Mawee he said they did a few conversions but did not say what they were. The 69 COPO Nova sounds very interesting!

I have come across some information regarding the 1970 Nova in question. As far as I know, these Novas were powered by the LT1 350. This car has also been referred to as the Mystery Nova. From what I understand, this car was used as a promotional tool for Berger Chevrolet, and not many were built. Essentially, this Nova was a well-optioned street cruiser.

The '69 COPO Nova sounds interesting, what can you tell us about it?

Dale Berger mentioned the 69 Nova COPO in a conversation about the Camaros and Chevelles. It was something like "oh, yeah, we sold a 427 Nova too" and that was it. I was never interested in Novas and didn't pursue it further. Appearantly I missed any interesting subject and will find out what he can tell me about it.

The Berger COPO Nova in question may have been a 1968 L-78/auto car, like the Gibb cars. As I was speaking at the Camarofest this year, I mentioned the Gibb/Harrell Novas. Dale raised his hand and said thet they sold 1 in 1968, a blue one. Jim Mattison went on the say that there were 53 1968 Novas, 50 Gibb cars and 3 others. Tom

I stand corrected: the Nova was a 68 with a special Turbo transmission.
