1968 Chevy II race cars

[Justbad Joe]

Out of the 50 COPO cars, how many were turned into Gibb/Harrell race cars? Do we know what colors they were originally?
Joe

[Kim_Howie]

Joe are you asking how many Gibb/Harrell cars were made or how many of them were turned into race cars.

[Justbad Joe]

How many were campaigned as either Gibb or G/H race cars?
Joe

[Kim_Howie]

ONE is the loneliest #1

[Justbad Joe]

What about the fushia car? Obviously the other was the Walker car, right? Were both these cars red?
Joe

[Kim_Howie]

I think there is only 1 with Gibb & Harrell The rest were Harrell & some else like Harry K and Harrell.

[Kim_Howie]

I don't have clue what colors they are as I have been told several times!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Why are you making this so difficult? O.K. how many others were there?
Wasn't J.Walker's car Harry's? Was the fushia car ever raced?
A guy from the Quad City area said he had raced some COPO novas around the country for Dick. Does the name Klemme ring a bell?
Come on Howie give me a history lesson. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

O.K. Harry's was a Gibb car it was totalled out. One of the Walker cars I think was sb car bought from Allen Chevy it was a yellow car. The other walker car was a Gibb car. Jude's car was found by me at Eddyville race track. The Gibb/Harrell car has never been found. A lot of these cars were raced just by local owners I hope this helps. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Kim_Howie]

When you say G/H car your talking a small group of cars of the 50 that were transplanted or tuned by Harrells shop.

[Justbad Joe]

So does that mean that 4 cars were painted candy apple red with lace?

[Kim_Howie]

Gee, that makes complete sense. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
Back to the original answer to the question of how many were Gibb copo's, I believe you said one (#1), is that your answer? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif
Joe

[Kim_Howie]

Yup! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Mr70]

Not since Kims Vaudeville days,has he posted such an enjoyable thread..http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/Rick_Peters/popcorn-1.gif

[Justbad Joe]

Thanks Howie. I think I have it now. There were only 2 cars. The J.Walker was a Gibb COPO and the T.L. Walker car was the sb car converted to a ZL1. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif Harry's car WAS the T.L. Walker car. Does this sound right? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif
Joe http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Kim_Howie]

Yea But the Jack Walker car we dont know for sure it was a Gibb car. Jack thought his car was the red Gibb car. Who the hell knows???
