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?

Marlin, I dont about chevelles . I just never seen any on novas. Marks car I think was a car from Allen chevy it may have been built later and Harrell had maybe started to put them on at that time. They may have been put on later who knows. Kim

I understand, that sounds feasible.

Joe's '68 did not come with the metal emblems. Joe just attaches a set when he shows it. They have a magnetic backing, so are not permanent. Tom

Thanks Tom, I had forgotten about the magnetic tape he has on the back.

So, if the Harrell emblems didn't start until '69, and the '68's have the riveted tags, I wonder why Mark's Nova doesn't have the tags? They may have been removed when the car was painted, and the emblems installed in their place?

From what I have read about Marks car in his NNN article and from A friend who has seen the car and talked with Mark, the car was prepped by Harrell in early 69. He may have started using those tags by then. I remember someone telling me the dates on the 427 were early 69.

From the research I have done the Harrell medallion is not used before June 1969. There may be some slop there but not much. The early 69 cars only used the rivited tags. The 68's never had the medallions. Joe had a set and put them on using magnetic tape and a special bracket he made for the grill. They look cool, but are not original to the car. His early 69 Harrell SS 427 Camaro has the rivited tags...BKH

What was on Ray M's 68 COPO Nova Harrel 427 car ?

If memory serves me correct, Ray's '68 did not come with the medalions, only the tag/stickers. He did get to ride with Dick and got a free T-shirt though, which he still has. Tom

Tom your right.The crests were for the 69 cars unless one of the 68s were a leftover car then its possible crests could have been added.I believe the car I told rob about in a wrecking yard near you was a 68-69 and it had the emblem
