#162 This 68 COPO Nova is #4 of 50, 1 of 10 Tripoli Turquoise cars and 1 of 2 known. It was purchased new at Dick Harrell's Performance Center in Kansas City by James Mirowski. It had a super tuned 396 with headers, tach and gauges and a stinger hood when purchased according to a feature story in Super Chevy's Nova magazine. According to the original owner there was a water pump failure that caused internal engine damage when the car had less than 500 miles on it. He took it to Van T. Chevrolet in Topeka KS for repairs and they ended up installing an L88 in it for a small upcharge under warranty. The original owner traded this car in on a Vega in '70. This car was found by Ed Cunneen who restored it and sold it to Dave Belk who owned it when it was featured. R. Paulsgrove had this car at MCACN in '18 and the Good Guys Show in Columbus OH in '19 where these pictures were taken.
