I’ve heard conflicting stories on that red Nova. That it was a Gibb/Harrell car and that it wasn’t so I can’t commit 100% to its pedigree. IIRC, a broken Cragar wheel caused the crash.

In going back thru old archives, I located an old picture of a 68 nova that Chevy454 had posted taken from the publication AHRA’s “Drag World” dated May of 68. It had Gene Rains name on the door, Jim Durham on back fender, and Kwik-Way Speed on the front fender, Super Camaro -Chevyll on bottom portion of door.
Going by the pictures date, guess it is possible that Harrell might have been involved here, but certainly not one of the Gibb COPO’s? Just wondering if this is the same Nova pictured in post #80 that was destroyed or was there 2?

Hello, new to group. Been working on acquiring a specific 68 Nova for 20 years. We have come to an agreement on price. Verbal agreement sold. Car is rough, but VIN appears to be on the Fred Gibb list. If all goes well, should be homeon Friday with car. Long drive, 4 days.
Would begin the journey to restore it, and keep as close to original as can be.

Has 2 sets of racing lettering under paint. Original Grecian Green is coming thru, which leads me to believe core panels except hood are original. I don't believe 427 emblems could be correct, should be 396.
