Re: Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's
Kim,
I must be thinking of a different car then. If I remember correctly, it might have been Ray M. who mentioned to me about a black COPO with a 454 for roughly $20,000. This was several years ago of course. Tim

Re: Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's
Tim,
What may seem a little confusing is that Dennis H. owned 2 different Harrell prepared Novas and the Grecian Green COPO Nova, all. The former 427 Harrell conversion, was black in color,( originally Fathom Blue COPO 9738 ) the former Kim Howie car. It was a race car when Kim owned it. Rodney Hahn was the original owner of this car, who lived in Topeka, KS. The car with the 454, was a CA car originally purchased by Beverly Warren, I was told? It was a 396 Dick Harrell prepared car, One of only 2 known to exist. The other 396 Harrell car is in Cedar Rapids, IA. It is also a Fathom Blue car. Ray

Re: Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's
The Harrell prepared 396 car is under restoration and will be finished for the next reunion. Tommy K is the new owner who bought it from Ann Hartweg last year. Tom is a great owner who will make the car as best he can. We are grateful to be a part of it...BKH

Re: Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's
I seem to have quite a few of them. I am working on putting them together so I can send them to Marlin. I assume he will format and post said info. For now,I would be more than happy to tell you the Grecian Green car I have is VIN W369979. As far as I know,all of the VINs for the COPO 9738 were 114278W...
Beverly Warren was the orig owner of the #44 Harrell tuned car. (FathomBlue)Sold out of Courtesy Chev.CA 1968 -1983.

Re: Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's
As I understand it, these cars were built fairly quick so that they could be drag raced in the new factory automatic's class, but does anyone have a "guesstimation" (an engineering term) of the time frame the 50 cars were built in? I don't suppose they rolled off the assembly lines one right after another?
