Amazing find! Congrats to Rick, Joe, and Brian!

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

WOW that car has been picked over... Congrats to Rick.... The number 30 car according to the list is red looks blue in the picure. Is it all lettered up from drag racing?

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

Blue now but original Red car. I'm gonna need a few parts, Jason!!!

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

Congrats Rick!

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

Sure would be nice to know more about the where about this car has been sitting for years. We need the story, how you found the car Rick. It just shows that cars like this are still around. Which gives us 1968 Nova enthusiasts hope to find their own needle in a hay stack someday?

Rick 68 parts are getting harder to find which I am sure you know. Rick I just noticed if you buy anymore 1968 nova’s you will have no more room in your user profile…LOL

Hats off to all parties involved…

Tommy is correct. We suspect it's the Jackie Mcknight, Harrell 427 converted car but completely UNdocumentated at this time.

Congrats on the addition of yet another FG COPO to your collection. It will be enjoyable to watch the progression of the restoration.

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

Dan Palchanes would be a good person to put a phone call in to Rick. I know he has a handle on that stuff especially 68 novas.

Our own RichP was involved. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

RichP was instrumental in my purchase. Once he and I had talked Brian Henderson of SuperCar Workshop flew down to check the car out and the deal was done. My thanks to both for their assistance.

thanks

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

I know some years ago John Hooper had a FG Nova he bought with help from Bill Porterfield. I saw the car a few times and it was Red, but don't know if it started life &quot;dressed in that outfit&quot;. Hooper put a rollbar in it and planned to do some nostalgia events, but I kinda remember him selling the car before it ever had a drivetrain installed. I don't think this car is THAT car, but if not, has IT been accounted for at this time? Memory tells me Porterfield found it and could verify it's authenticity. And.....GREAT JOB on this find! Always love these type of finds and congrats to all involved!

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

The story goes like this. They are not FG they are Grecian Green. The car your talking about is #21.

Bill nor Hooper found the car. Bill bought the car CHEAP , than sold it to Hooper. This car was then sold to Larry Scarth. I think he is in Bellflower Ca.
Jude H. bought it and sold it. Don't know where it went then. The Vin # is 370138. The car was missing the trim tag when it was found. I know that car very well. The car had a roll bar when they got the car.
MISSISSIPPI REBEL

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

Mr. Howie is correct. Last I knew the car was in a collection in Texas I believe.

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

So GG Car was a race car aka Mississippi Rebel?

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

I think Mississippi Rebel is part of Kim's signature now?

Re: 1968 DICK HARRELL # 30 CAR BEEN FOUND
 

Yes Sir.
