It absolutely is and then some. Hence the encouragement to find a way to get this Gibb Nova to this years show. You would be overwhelmed with the response towards this car. Probably meet people that remember it from back in the day. And, definitely get more real offers to purchase it from you than you can imagine. It is a must attend show for any car guy/gal.
Cheers, Marty |

Group COPO meeting soon with all previous owners. Lucky the car was local for its entire life. Last edited by DEW1968NOVA396; 11-19-2025 at 06:33 PM. |

Going to be looking around barn for the 12bolt that came with car from PO.
Claimed it had a deep gear, not usable on street. Trans in car is a winner, not going to elaborate. Photos from original owner, show how a COPO race car looked like in early 70s. (Bad Ass). Last edited by DEW1968NOVA396; 11-18-2025 at 05:39 PM. |

Look at those trophies. That Nova put plenty of competition on the trailer, great pic. Hopefully the rear shackles will not be used for the restoration. Just my opinion. Never was a shackle guy but understood why they used them.
