I spoke to an owner of that car about 10 years ago. The Nickey paperwork was "lost in a move" or "thrown away by my ex-wife during our divorce" or "my dog ate it". Pick one. Asking price was 40k then.

what's with that grab bar?

[TDW]

The ad states that the trim tag shows the car as originally a 396/375 HP car. What?

It MUST be real, look at all the stickers! And those emblems, too.

I would think the guy to ask about the car would be Stefano. His name is mentioned in the auction.

First of all, yes I am very familiar with this Camaro and we did eventually purchase the car from Mills Chevrolet.

The eBay listing does not accurately portray the story and details as they were explained to us. The car was originally shipped to Nickey for inspection by the Nickey Registry members.

Second, we did not perform any of the restoration work on the car and left it very much like we got it from Mills.

Third, While there is a colorful "Nickey" story to go along with the car, we were not able to verify or document any Nickey status on the car whatsoever.

Finally, The car is not a rebody [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

ps the grab bar is an &quot;Oh Shyte&quot; Bar.

I believe that we listed the car for sale here on Yenko a few years ago.

If this is the same Mills Chevrolet thats in the QCA they had a 68 Copo nova and maybe a 67 or 68 Yenko? These guys were hipo people and weren't that far from chitown. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
