Found the following '68 Harrell Chevy II photograph's posted on the Webshots.com website. Not sure who the owner of this GEM is, but it doesn't appear to be Ray's. Kim?

That's Mark Fuss' car in AZ. It's not one of the 50 COPO Novas in '68, but was a 4speed car apparently converted to an L88 by Harrell. I think it was purchased out of Kansas or MN??

Marlin,

Just curious... even though this isn't one of the original 50 COPO cars, was it always common practice for Harrell to add his badges to conversion cars also?

From what I have seen, yes. I have seen Harrell cars that were tuned 396's, COPO 427's, and converted 427 cars, and all of them had the Harrell badges, and usually the little stickers as well.

Marlin that looks like a cool car. I love originals. (at least this one looks as such) Is he the original owner? Original selling dealer?

Frank;
Mark is not the orig. owner, it's not orig. paint, and I don't know where it was sold out of. I know that it was taken to Harrell for some type of conversion. I remember that there was doubt at one time as too what the conversion was, and if it was for an L88 or ??. I don't believe there is paperwork with the car, but it always had the Harrell emblems. Mark has had it for a very long time.

Marlin I dont think any 68 novas came from harrell or gibb with the metal badges only the square riveted tags. I have looked at 13 of the gibb cars and none have the badges I think there only on 69 or later cars. Kim Howie

What about Swezey's '68 Harrell Chevelle? I think that one has the emblems (?) I wonder how Mark's car got the emblems, maybe they were put on later?
