Re: Release the Gibb Chevy II COPO VIN's
 

As I understand it, these cars were built fairly quick so that they could be drag raced in the new factory automatic's class, but does anyone have a "guesstimation" (an engineering term) of the time frame the 50 cars were built in? I don't suppose they rolled off the assembly lines one right after another?

Tommy K's 396 Harrell tuned car actually had a 427 in it. THe block was a 454 block, but the crank was a 427, no special balancer or flywheel. That engine was built by an engine shop in LA, and will be installed in a particular Rallye Green, '69 SS Nova L78, M20, 3.55 Posi - can you guess who's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Kim, thanks again. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for '68 Nova's dated the first and second week of july at the races this year.

P.S.- I know in who's possession the VIN's lie, but I thought I would bring up the topic for discussion anyways (not trying to stir up a bee's nest or anything). I'm just another die hard Chevy II, Camaro, Chevelle, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gifHarrell, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gifGibb, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gifYenko, drag racing fan trying to make the world a better place to live in.
