We might need help. Might be a few local people knowledgeable, that want to go to MCACN show.
Might be a great gathering. Bet there is photos from all the Illinois tracks to be found.

Dew1968,
Thanks for posting all the info on this extremely special car. I'm sure you have had many offers, advice, etc. but what is your plan for the car? Cleaning it up and getting it running in it's current state would be cool. Whatever you do, take your time as it's only original once.

I did find several other COPO Nova sheets however. What I did find were notes that Dennis wrote down, I presume in the late 90's or very early 2000's. What I found was, 369684, probable 427 conversion, C/H or G/H (no idea what that means), HH for Grecian Green, "Ed Cuneen (misspelled) knows where", Harrell Stinger Hood, Original owner Eugene Gehrt (which likely means he had the dealer prep sheet at one time) and original purchase date of 4/25/68.

Sorry to come up empty but Ann and I will keep looking.

Going out right now to check.

PO drove it to work, 6yr, gear change would not surprise me with 327.
Getting as delivered gear set from Tuner, as it arrived from Gibb.
