Definitely a different Camaro in that pic w the chrome front bumper. Look at the A-pillars and you can see the body color instead of the trim on the far outside edges.

Agreed, no idea if it's real or not, but it's sweet, not to mention the hottie in the pics.....

Comparing my photos (see car poster above) to the current ebay ad it looks like in 2006 the 3rd owners name was Robert Johnson of Mesa, AZ. Robert Anthony Wallace of Munds Park, AZ who has the current ebay ad states he had bought the car from the original owner and it has been in his collection for 4 years ("I Robert A. Wallace, Knowing the history of the Camaro, I bought it and picked it up in Alabama from the original owner, Mr. Bianchi"). Maybe he sold it to Robert Johnson and bought it back from him, but he makes it sounds like there have only ever been TWO owners.

I spoke to ohhmy (Stan) a couple months ago about this car and he had not learned anything new, but was still looking. I will touch base with him and see what is up.

This Camaro was sent to the Nickey Registry, here in Chicago's Burbs, for inspection and/or possible certification, a few years ago.

Don Swiatek and the Team, inspected the car and the docs presented to us, at that time.

We were not able to include this Camaro, in the Registry on any level, based on that which was provided to us.

What papers are you referring to, and, how much do you want for your car? This is the site where prospects for your car will come to check out the facts, so, letting everyone know what all you have will help you sell your car. By the way, starting out with a confrontational tone usually doesn't work here. If you don't care what the members here think, then so be it, and, good luck with your sale. Mike

I just want to clear up the statement you made that I only spoke to you once and didn't even ask to see the paperwork. I've seen the paperwork MANY times. I hope, within time you can come up with something or someone that can document this car as being a REAL Nickey. Good luck with the search. You know my number if you need to contact me.

This is Stefano Bimbi, I am the CEO of Nickey Chicago, Inc.

Why don't you post the "Paperwork that you have regarding the Nickey Conversion status, of this car. It would go a long way to helping you sell the car?

An NICB could only help confirm the Dealer Which had this Camaro delivered, from GM.

An NICB report was run on this Camaro (I do not have access) and the Delivered to dealership and date was BLANK.

If you would like to discuss the "facts" about your car, this is a great place to do. Many Super Cars have been bought and sold with info and the help, of the membership on this site.

NCIB reports are real and I've had them run in the past. Seems impossible to do any longer, but the information was helpful as far as dealer and zone along with date of delivery and weight of the car.

NICB reports are absolutely real. There is no doubt about it. Here is mine. It is literally like a crap shoot though. Some cars are not in it for whatever reason. Some are listed but just have a dealer code instead of all the info like the one I am posting. Don't bother asking me who ran it because they have since retired and are now living in Alaska. I am serious.

The info from their site seems to imply that your local insurance agent may have access to the data base.

The NICB records were more easily available in years past, than they are today. With recent, more stringent privacy laws, NICB now requires a law enforcement case number to link to the request.

The shipping records came from the auto manufacturers' assembly plant records and they are far from complete. Some plants never sent their records, some lost the records.

An example of a case I saw an NICB printout for was when a fourth, "1 of 3" 1970 hemi Roadrunner ragtops popped up for sale and some local law enforcement people were very suspicious. A check of that VIN in the NICB database revealed that it was originally a 383 car that someone created a new VIN plate for and put in the hemi engine code. It confirmed that the VIN RM27R0XXXXXX didn't exist, but the exact same numerical VIN RM27N0XXXXXX did.

The NICB data will show only three things: 1) The VIN, 2) the date of shipment and 3) the destination dealer code.

Tommy
11-30-2008, 11:04 PM
It will also show if the car has been stolen. I had given my VIN to someone that had access to the NICB a few years ago and although he never got all the information while he was checking on my car he did confirm what I allready knew but had not told him.... That my car had been stolen and recovered. I don't know where he got the information and why I didn't get a full rundown of the available information on my car but he did tell me about the theft and that the car had resided in the carolinas at some point. I don't know wheather he meant the car was sold new in the carolinas or if he had access to other information about it just being owned there at sometime. He had to get back to real work and never finished up on my 68.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau was established 100 or so years ago as the National Automobile Theft Bureau. Their data base is never purged and therefore have decades of available information. The access to this info is limited to insurance companies licensed in the United States, car rental companies, car auctions and car finance companies. Access to these NICB records is governed by parameters that are established by the FBI and NICB by-laws.

However there is a public VINCheck whereby the inquiry will respond with an indication that the vehicle has been reported as stolen, flood damaged, declared a total loss or nothing found.

"In 1968 A General Motors Executive ask Nickey Chevrolet to build a 427 Convertible
Nickey said No, but that they would build him a 302 Convertible Super car He said Ok. <font color="blue">Cool Story, Never heard about this one? Who was the Executive? </font>

In 1969 Randall Bianchi asked Nickey Chevrolet Bill Thomas ( <font color="blue"> Bill Thomas did not work with Nickey on the 1969 Models ) </font> to build a 427 Convertible Nickey Camaro Stage III car but they said No.
Randall Bianchi was not satisfied with the answer and promised to not hold them accountable for the frame damage if they would build the car.

Does any one know this guy?????

Dear arizona_loan_co,
What an absolute joke you and your car are! You are the laughing stock of the internet! EVERYONE knows you are full of [censored]! You have NO proof of what this car is. A couple of Nickey badges and a story about a dead guy that ordered it new doesn't make a Supercar. If you had any balls you would answer the questions that were asked of you on the Yenko.net site. You won't cuz you're a pussy! Instead of filling your ebay listing up with old Nickey ads you should have described the details of the engine(including numbers)and any evidence you have of its heritage. Bill Thomas did not work on '69s with Nickey. When this car was discussed on the internet a couple of years ago it was claimed this car had a vin stamped block; this would NOT have been the case if the engine was transplanted by Nickey. Nickey will NOT accept this clone as the real deal. Your story is full of holes. As I told you, ALL serious car guys (of which I am one) see through this scam. YOU ARE A FAKE!!!!!
- chevkrazy

Dear arizona_loan_co,
What a retarded response, just like your postings on Yenko.net. There is NOTHING that looking at this car could do to PROVING it is a real NICKEY conversion. YOU need to prove this you moron! The car is originally a small block but now has a VIN-stamped 512 block in it??? You are a lying sack of [censored] and the laughing stock of the supercar world! By the way, I know some of the people that are bidding on your car and they are only trying to see where your reserve is. Once they hit your reserve they will retract the bid... ha ha !
- chevkrazy

Sorry I have caused such rift in the supercar world.
I am just a know nothing hillbilly with a Camaro.
I would like to place all my paper work on line but my guess is even this won't help, Whether the car is real or not will always be a debate and Slamming me sounds like a past time. I have reason to believe it is real, if some one else doesn’t that is OK
Maybe I am wrong but it sounds like No one wants it to be real.
I didn't put the car together, I just Love Camaros and I have had numerous Camaros for the last 30 years I am 48. I didn't know there were so many experts or Haters.
I told the BC, Canada boy chevkrazy I would pay his way out and he can do a certification is that fair he is the expert???

At some point soon I will put everything on the web for everyone to agree or disagree!!

Here is a summery of the three Documents I was sent COPIES of.

1) A Nickey Catalogue addressed to Bianchi.

2) A tire receipt in Bianchi's Name.

3) A type written Letter from the second owner to the third Stating that this was indeed a Nickey Conversion. It was not signed, nor was it Notarized.

I for one would be very happy to help you verify that this is indeed the car you say it is.

ChevKrazy,


Those were extremely rude messages, not to mention childish. I have seen cars that people thought were clones that turned out to be real and vise versa many times. It looks like the car was played with in the 80's due to the cassette player in the dash. It is possible that items were changed and things were fluffed that now make the car look less authentic. Why don't you make yourself known here? I must warn you, I don't think you will be welcomed as a hero for the site. Part of this hobby is education and it is a two way road. Rob came to this site and signed up to tell everyone he is the owner. What a way to welcome him. Thanks for pulling the site down to your level.

I agree...it was idiotic to say stuff like that. Whomever ChevKrazy is...you aren't speaking on behalf of all the Y-net members... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

I wouldnt pay for his flight !! You will find out he is not even a buyer,even if you had proof !!!! These guys who do ALL the screaming are usually just that !! Screamers behind a laptop who know everything(at least in his mind) but are not buying anything....

A little harsh on the seller ! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Their is better ways to go about telling a guy you dont believe his car is real..

Those moronic comments are not worth the time it took to copy and paste. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif I would not want to be associated with that type of posting, I am bad enough myself. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif



So what kind of documents do you have? Conversion receipts from Nickey with the date and VIN, or better?

Cars4Play,

You seem like an upstanding guy. I would work with Stefano to see what the car really is. Maybe some more information on the car can be discovered. If it is not an original Nickey, perhaps it has an interesting story. In the least it is a very nice car!!!!

Best of luck with the sale!!

We are all fellow car enthusiasts. I consider us to belong to some sort of informal fraternal order. We can speak and understand a dialogue that most cannot appreciate nor comprehend.

Mutual banter between fellow car guys is fine and sometimes fun, but personal attacks is unacceptable.

Anyhow, looks like the ol' 69 427 is making a strong comeback. Its getting into the serious money range...beyond what you would expect for some clone...

Aside from the various opinions, I'm sure we all agree that it a cool looking car and most likely a complete blast to drive.

Who knows, the auction may mirror the A/FX racer and sell for 300K?...Should be interesting...We'll see what happens! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I just noticed I got my stars!!! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

"beyond what you would expect for some clone." People do stupid things all the time thinking they are smarter than everyone else.

Stefano has been upfront with the limited or non exhistant documents that he's seen &amp; is even willing to take a step further and help the seller. The seller's claims on ebay are that it's real &amp; documented which I find misleading.
It's a very nice looking car, but how it's reached 94K is beyond me http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

Kind of an irrelevant question, but what is the long cable like object that the girl holding in the photo where she is wearing the pink dress and reaching into the engine compartment?
