Default Missing for 40 + years

One phone call on a Saturday afternoon from a my buddy .September 2014 Set the tone for the next three years .
Old 67 camaro going to scrap yard ? It mite be a super sport ? Has traction bar plate on the floor ? Red and black?
I'll take it ! If I only knew what I just fell into , I would have gone and bought a dozen lottery tickets !
NCRS report were now available , my good friend, volunteered to send my VIN number in for me . The wait was over , the letter was in . A call.was made . Curiosity was over . Letter was opened, 12/30/1966 code 411 zone 11 , NICKEY chevrolet.
Fast forward to Friday morning 7 am November 17 2017Chicago . Pulled into Stephen convention center, Rosemont il.with my restored #6 1967 nickey z/28. Bolero red .
A sweet home coming after 50 years , first time back to Chicago. Rolled out of the trailer , and hit the ground. Talk about a sweet morning ! It's all good from here.
