Recently I have come across a 68 copo nova. I have seen a few pictures of these cars before and neither had the badges that this particular copo had, the first was on the driver side front hood, the second was on the console, both read "custom built by Dick Harrell, would this mean that this car had special prep that other 68 copos did not have?

Is this Mark?

By the way Dick Harrell was a builder like Nickey, Berger, Dana,Bill Thomas, etc and also a drag racer as well...

I believe that those badges have been reproduced by a few different people. Is this car documented?

I understand the fakes, but we what we have here is the number 28 car on the list, and all I can say is I couldnt believe what I was looking at.

Awesome find if it proves to be the real deal. Bring it to the Fred Gibb memorial show this August! We would love to see it.

The car is not owned by me, I came across it through a friend. The car has not moved since 1971, it sure looks real to me, still has the M&H racemasters on it.
