For those who have not met Ray, here is his story from 1992! He ran his COPO Chevy II when new at the tracks.

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.
