Dick Harrell Nova???

[Jeff H]

Numbers don't mean anything. Most people in this country are too lazy to work for a living. They'd rather collect uneployment than find a job paying $7/hr. I'm not one of the rich and famous, and my dad was a mechanic and my mom was a nurse so we weren't living high on the hog. But I went through college and found a job starting at a minimum salary and I'm still with that company 15 years later and I have saved and I'm slowly having a crossram, JL8 car restored. It will be a $100K car when done, but I would never have been able to buy a $100K car. You have to start low and work your way up. And don't listen to any professors, they don't live in the real working world. They're protected by the university that pays them big bucks to spew meaningless cr@p. You should be working part time while not in class, that's how you get ahead, not waiting for someone to hand you money for no reason.

This is all true, and interesting, but, back to the Nova!! Why is there a gap in the body numbers between #3 and #4? Is it significant?

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.

Woah!!! Hold up a second, people need handouts in order to get ahead in this world . . .

If you start out with nothing, and I mean NOTHING, how can you gain anything? That is the reason welfare is there. People can only stay on welfare so long. It is impossible to get a job when you have no presentable clothes, when you have no shelter, etc. . . .

And some people say, " Lets clean them up, get them some clothes, and teach them how to fill out a resume." This doesn't work. What good is the resume, when you have no money to get to work, feed yourself, etc?

As for my teacher, he grew up on a private island in the Caribbean . . ., why is he here in WI? Either it's the only place he could find a job, or maybe 'cause he actually CARES about what he's teaching. Who the hell would move away from the Caribbean?!

Regardless of what you think, over half of the professors here HATE the Dean, and I mean HATE! Like, they have daily arguments with him . . . just yesterday about parking tickets in the school parking lots.

Don't stereotype professors, some of them are NORMAL people.



Stop talking about this subject PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSEE!!!!!

Just this morning, I got an email telling me how this person was glad that I was standing up for the "little guys". A big thanks goes out to you

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEE STOP TALKING ON THIS WHOLE SUBJECT,
Get back to the Nova, like most people want.

[Belair62]

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

[Mike]

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?

[MotownMadman]

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?
Motown

[Jeff H]

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.

[Kim_Howie]

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

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

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.
