Dick Harrell Nova???

Here is some cool info . . . the body build number on this Nova (car #4) is 96366 and the build number on Nova #3 is 96364.

It is also wierd that a plate of any kind was put under the cowl tag as it is very hard to get to it since the power brake booster is in the way. Nova #3 was a Dick Harrell converted 427 car and it didn't have the plate there, in fact it had a black sticker similar in size stuck above the trim tag.

Great to have another one in circulation again . . .

Matt, do you think they removed the power brakes since it was going to be a drag car? If so, then it might have been a lot easier to get the DH tag under the trim tag.

OK bring this one to the Lounge...lets hear more about the Nova..

I agree!!! Does anybody have any history on it? Was it one of the Harrell race cars? and last but not least....who bought the car?

I had a carrier pigeon fly over my house and drop a note down my chimmney that suggested Ed C. from COPO Connection may have a new project. Anyone know if that pigeon was flying straight?

But I thought Ed C. just bought that 68 Yenko Camaro as a project a couple weeks back. Sounds like Ed might have a backlog of projects.

Matt, I think you will find the body # on # 3 is 96304 not # 96364 None of the cars are that consecutive. The car is not Fred's race car. Kim

That's what I thought Kim. Usually, the body numbers are sequential for COPO runs within color category, and do not follow the VIN sequence at all - not always, but usually.

I moved away from Hawaii, and believe me it wasn't to teach.

Marlin some of the blue cars are sequenced. Which makes sense with the same color. Kim
