Default Gibb 68 COPO Nova

Thanks, Bruce for chiming in as a moderator of this site. Staying away from the Gibb Nova's for this post, is only to reflect the appreciation for a place we can come together and disclose our experiences & disclose information from past years. We can think Steven Shauger for the devotion in maintaining such a place that all gear heads can share & hand down the things of interest that others might be able to reflect on for future use? As time rolls on, one can not benefit from information they have, forever? Thank you once again to Steven, Bruce & All the Moderators, & Members for maintaining a site that refresh's our minds where Chrysler, Ford, GM, including AMC, were in a war for dominance of the High Performance industry, & those dealerships that used the Central Office to produce cars that weren't available as Regular Production Options.

The assigned designation of the Gibb Novas for the redesigned (experimental) automatic transmission for the higher horsepower, higher torque, and higher rpm solid lifter engines was processed thru the Central Office Production Order (COPO) at the request of Fred Gibb Chevrolet. The assignment # of 9738. The green tag attached on the transmission shows the serial # as CY-68-1005. Fred Gibb stated these automatic transmissions were produced and used as the benchmark for the use of high performance applications.
