Re: Nickey Z-28 Sold
 

A few years ago I bought a car from a fellow in SoCal. During negotiations he asked where in Canada I was from, I told him Calgary. It turned out that he was born and raised here and left in 1962. He pursued his dream of racing in SoCal.

It turned out that he ended up running the sports car department at Dana Chevrolet. His driving and mechanincal skills gave him an incredible career in drag racing for over three decades.

Bring on those orange Dana cars! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

That 1969 Dana car didnt have doc's and the dealer selling the car doesnt have a good rep (tried selling a Gold COPO at Mecum last fall). With normal REAL NICE Z cars bringing 60k to 100k today I think a car small block car sold by Yenko, Nicky, Dana, Motion etc..WITH DOCUMENTS OR SOMETHING YOU COULD PROVE TO BE REAL, it would easily break into the low to mid 100k range and sell pretty fast too. IMO Personally I believe the Nickey in question could bring 200k to the right buyer..There just arent any REAL Nickeys available. And I know there are a few guys looking for them too.

Looking is just that...for 'lookers'. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif You need to 'step up to the plate' if you have aspirations of being a real 'Nickey dude'. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Nothing better than a Nickey modified Z-28 sitting among the cornfields of Iowa.

Hey guys !

Look at picture 1 of 5 via. this link ( above ). What am
I missing? This is a Z/28 to BBC conversion, but it doesn't
have power brakes? It didn't come stock that way, did it?

Re: Nickey Z-28 Sold
 

The disc brake setup was replaced by drums for weight-saving/racing reasons. Here's the writeup from Kevin's website:

The 1969 Nickey Camaro you see here started life as a Z28. It is one of only two Nickey Z28’s to become 427 Camaros. This Camaro -- optioned with an L88 aluminum head 427, a Muncie M22 4-speed, and radio/heater delete -- was heavily modified for the drag strip. It comes complete with all the typical high performance accessories of the day: headers, Mallory ignition, traction bars, heavy-duty clutch, scattershield, flex fan, gauges, Sun tach, Hurst shifter, Hurst shocks, and Goodyear slicks mounted on SS Cragars. Many weight saving modifications were made as well: removal of window track mechanisms, the exchange of drum brakes in place of the disc brakes, in addition to having the “heater delete” option.

My 69 Z-28 was a race car from day one and the power discs were replaced with drums. My 67 Yenko also was a drag car and the discs were replaced with drums. Very common change.
