In the last week I've been able to track down 5 owners of my Fred Gibb Nova when it was in Iowa. Hope to have some pics when it was raced at Eddyville Raceway soon.

Ok I cant resist:
the original owner of my 68 Camaro was very helpfull
he gave me a signed witnessed statement that he was the original owner of the car,and he took it to Motion for the 427 conversion. he gave me the origianl purchase order
for the car the black on black factory ordered L78. He gave me a copy of the origianal Record holder certificate
from the Detroit drag strip in May 1969.He also gave me
the newspapper article where he was the winner King of The Hill bracket racing with a winnig time of 10:60s.
Beat every one at the track that weekend.A terror on the streets of Windsor. Many people I have met from Windsor
tell me the history of the car.
I finally traced the second owner of the car his name is John
and he told me great stories of the car and how bad it was
on the street and on the track. He has time slips,photos
and new all the history on the car. He told me that he would give me a copies of what he had if I let him come to see the car with his son and drive it.. I not only said yes to his request
I invited him and his son to stay at my house for the visit.
I sent him details photos of the resto from start to finish
from then on John would not even answear my emails or phone
calls. OH yes he did tell me on my last phone call That if he had the car today he would make a fortune at the BJ auction.
John if you are reading this the offer still stands

I met the original owner of my '67 Corvette at the Vettefest last November. He presented me with the plastic GM seat cover and elastic strap that held it in place from the assembly line. He also presented me with a second set of original keys. He hadn't seen the car in 20 years and his 19 year old son had never seen the car. I presented him with the Chicago Corvette Club medallion that was on the license plate frame, he always regretted giving it up (the medallion, not the car). It worked out good for both of us. Nice reunion that both of us enjoyed in the Chicago Showcase......Thanks, Bob Ashton.

I plan to finally meet my original owner and second owner late this week or early next week at the Nova Nationals. Should be fun!
