If pictures are worth a thousand words, this post is already 7000 words long.

Whats the story?

While it's not a current find we never discussed this one here.

It all started when the Former owner contacted The Nickey Registry because he believed that his Camaro might be a NicKey 427 Conversion. Nickey Registry Member Mike G checked our limited data base and found nothing to connect the Camaro to NicKey. He did however find the matching VIN on the '67 Yenko Camaro list!

Ha! Gotta love it. I would be willing to bet that put a smile on the owners face!

Steve, is it going to be restored? Whats the owners plans? Did Warren have paperwork or was owner history found? Inquiring minds want to know. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

I find it interesting that it is a 3:07 gear with 15 inch wheels and G-70 tires. I see nowhere in the parts list a cost for that upgrade. IMO G-70 -15 tires would be a real problem on the front of a 67 Camaro with rubbing issues...BKH
