I stand corrected on the numbers, I had seven in my head, so three Chevelles and four Camaros, with two surviving Chevelles.
The OO of the LB car is a prominent businessman here and someone told me a while back they know the OO of the white car. I am attaching Herold Friedley's obituary. I have a feeling his son Randy may have been the inspiration to deal the Yenko cars. He eventually lost the Olds dealership when a surprise inventory check of new cars came up short. He then moved down the Ave. to a Lincoln/Mercury dealership. The original Olds/GMC dealership building is largely the same, now John Deery Nissan/Mitsubishi/Lincoln. Supercar related: A co-worker at the time had made arrangements to buy a new Harrell 427 Nova and was all hyped up to go down and get it, until his insurance agent's quote squelched it. I wish now I had paid more attention to these cars back then. Thanks again for this great thread! Bill W |

He must have got into WWII when he was 17. There's not many WWII veterans left anymore.

Here is another picture of the # 50 68 Nova COPO. This is 1 of 20 Fathom Blue cars and 1 of at least 6 Fathom Blue cars that still exist. This car has 16K miles and still has it's original engine. I know that it has been repainted, but I don't believe it has been restored. Nancy Gibb had this car at MCACN in '18 as part of the 68 Nova Display.

#161 This 68 COPO Nova is #30 of 50, 1 of 10 Matador Red cars and 1 of 3 Matador Red cars known to exist. I believe this was a Dick Harrell prepped 396 car when new. It was found in 2012 and eventually restored by the Super Car Workshop. It was restored to Day 2 trim with a stinger hood and a 427. It was featured in the November '18 issue of Muscle Car Review. R. Thayer had it at MCACN in '18 as part of the Muscle Car Review cover display. The Super Car Workshop also restored R. Thayer's #28 Matador Red COPO Nova which was at MCACN in '14. The other Matador Red car is the #29 car which was restored to stock specs and was at the CVF in '05. It was owned by J. Ohler at the time.

#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.
