70 1/2 Z28 from Nickey

**Bill Pritchard** · #1 12-02-2002, 04:36 PM

I have a hunch that someone on this board is the proud new owner of a 70 1/2 Z28 Camaro that was originally sold at Nickey Chevrolet [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img] I loked at this car with a friend on Saturday afternoon. In need of some resto, but basically a great car. Very well documented. I will now shut up to (hopefully) let the new owner divulge more details [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

What did you think of the vintage Nickey oil change sticker still on the inside of the drivers door?

Neat. At first I got the impression the guy was claiming that the oil change sticker was the only 'documentation' that it was from Nickey! Then later I saw the notebook with the build sheet, order form, bill of sale, yadda yadda. Did you see the tank sticker by looking down behind the license plate/fuel filler door? I guess I missed that, but then I was only looking somewhat casually. I don't think my friend was really serious, more just curious. The interior is in really nice shape [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Hope everything turns out to be in good shape with the motor [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/ooo.gif[/img]

Bill,
What appears to be the tank sticker can be seen by looking through the drivers side 1/4 pannel. It cannot be seen by looking through the gas filler door.It seems to have been placed very far back and to the left.

It was interesting to see that Nickey Received a Van Nuys Built Camaro.

OK, that's interesting how you spied the tank sticker. It wasn't exactly ideal conditions for looking at a car, but I guess it was better than being outside. I agree, it seems kinda unusual for Nickey to receive a car from Van Nuys. As I recall, the car was a March or early April build date, wasn't it? I'm not sure what month they began production on the 2nd gen Camaros, so maybe the Norwood plant wasn't up to speed yet.

What the heck are those wheels that are on the car? Almost looks like the 'wire basket' wheels without the wire basket [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Stefano, are there any cars you don't know about................. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Lets not talk about the Ugly "Pim" style Chrome sopke wheels as they were just put on by the second owner to have something for the car to sit on?

He said that when he got the car from the original owner it actually had SS Cragar Skinnies on the front with the stock Z28 mags and meats, on the back.

Rick,
It helps when the car is less than 15 miles from home, I do know how you enjoy those 12 hour rides.

It's not that I mind the 12 hour drives, it's the 12 hour drive for a car that is not worth the time that I mind. That has happened too many times recently. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Has this car been sold yet?

What is your offer?? I hear the new owner wants to upgrade to a Nickey 427 Conversion. He likes the Nickey Script emblems which were used.
