The above article was useful in confirming that a 427 Nova ever existed and was sold through Chevrolet Dealerships complete with the original 90 day warranty and could be fully financed by GMAC.
After the Nova was completed, it was taken to a major car show in Marietta, GA in the Spring of 1990. An issue came about as to it being authentic by the tech committee. When told what it was, they evidently hadn't heard or knew anything about a 427 Nova or even an L-78 automatic car being built and sold through Chevrolet Dealerships? We didn't have paperwork to back up the story, so the tech crew classified the car into the "Competition Class" over objections. At this point, the Fred Gibb involvement was still to be uncovered.
About a month later, it was taken to another major show in Memphis, TN. The tech committee proceeded to try to check it in the "Modified Class." This time though, original paperwork a the above article was presented unto them. There was a small gathering that formed to look at the evidence being displayed. They were convinced enough to correctly identify it into the class it should be? After this, there never has been a problem or question as to the 68 427 Nova automatic.
