Hey Bill Porterfield, Dave Siltman here (DW31S):
Whatever became of the Gibb Nova that John Hooper had? I kinda remember you found it for him, and he was trying to make a racer out of it. Then out of thin air it vanished! And..........wasn't that car RED???

That's the one (#21/Grecian Green) Kim H found, sold to Bill, went to Hooper, Larry S-on west coast, to me, Tom L in WI, then auctioned at Mecum &amp; now in Odessa TX (from what I was told). The new owner got a smokin' deal on it.

Bill has always treated me right when it came to giving me the original paperwork to any of my Gibb cars. He's been a good 'caretaker and facilitator' of the Gibb Supercar documents IMO [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

----Hi Bill,,,Nothing fast anymore. Actually, boats are taking up more of my time and thoughts than stuff on four wheels lately. Actually, I have been having some fun with Ken Barnharts old Suburban. Local engine builder, Tyler Crockett is building me a fairly stout 502 for it right now. He says Ill be able to embarass a few young guys with it.
----Saw your flopper on the Power Tour thread. Very tasty, but I would expect no less!!!!......Bill S

Dave, I am sure Kim can add more details, but the story I heard was pretty close to what you heard. Because it once had a roll cage, and no trim tag, it was going to become the Red ’68 Gibb racecar, but when word filtered out about it actually being a green car, that is when it kind of disappeared.
