Gibb COPO Nova price drop

[NovaMob03]

I've had a fair amout of intrest in my Nova, but no serious offers. So, I'm dropping the price from 125K to $115K/OBO.
As mentioned in previous posts, a prior owner removed the cowl tag & has been unable to locate it. It was a drag/street racer practically all of it's life & this integral part was apparently not important to the owner. Shoney & I decided that it would be better not to replace it with a repop.
The hidded vins are on the car, I have the original Gibb documents and will include my Fred Gibb drag team shirt in lieu of the missing tag.
I'd also like to publically thank Annie for selling me the console that Dennis had laying around. Every time I sit in the car looking at it brings back good memories. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
I will consider any offer as I'm trying get another house with a little more garage space. Thanks sYc http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Just wondering if all the Gibb cars had power assist manual brakes? Was this rare. My car has the 4 piston disk brake option with a different master cylinder (5460346).

It's a beautiful car Jude, good luck with the sale. I wish I had the coins. Also, I think the decision made by you and Ken was the right one on the TT. It still rocks http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

Power DRUM brakes on all the Gibb Novas.

I concur on both!

Thanks for the support, guys. Not the best time to be selling based on the direction the ecomony's going, but what the hell. I need to sell it & the reserve is much lower that the price listed in this post.
BTW I'm embarrassed that made a big error in my post...Annie gave, not sold me the console that's in the Nova. A very generous gesture for sure http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Real nice car Jude. Saw it with the restoration guys at last years VF! A class act those guys are from Iowa! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif

Thanks Tommy. The trim tag, although unfortunate that it's missing, shouldn't be a big issue for a car that is legitimized by the fact that the Fred Gibb dealership kept accurate records, that the delivery checklist has the POP imprint & that all 3 vins are there & everything matches.
Basically all the tag shows is color, trim, body # & build date. They were all built 7A or 7B, the color's on the POP as is the 1st half of the vin (11427), so it's just missing the body #.
I can see why this tag is important when you're looking at Z28's & COPO Camaro's, but perhaps not so significant when you have proof like Helen's inventory 'black book' & the other supporting Gibb documents.
Seems like there are many race cars out there without 'em & I don't know why. Ken & I just felt that repoping a new one was the wrong thing to do. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Tommy]

I agree 100% Jude http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

Thats right Jude then you don't have to tell stories forever! Its a no question deal.

[SMGCO]

Stay strong.

[NovaMob03]

In keeping with the forum rules, to disclose the price, I feel obligated to tell ya'll the reserve is 105. If it doesn't hit that, well there's always 2nd chance. Who knows, maybe it'll go for less than 6 figures http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[NovaMob03]

I'd also like to add that I was recently contacted by one of the owners from Iowa when he owned it in 1979. Said he thinks that he may have the owners top copy of the delivery checklist & warrentee booklet with the POP. I have not seen any pics, but we've traded several emails, so I'm hopeful.

Jude, Where did you find those XF wheels??? Nice touch!

[NovaMob03]

Rick, I found them in Fla & the fellow was nice enough to bring them to the Moultrie Ga swap meet. Unfortunately, he only had 1 set.
I love the way your Nova turned out. SCW did a great job http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[NovaMob03]

Just dropped the reserve to 92K. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
