"Car guy", It might help if you register on this board rather than remaining a "stranger". Most are willing to share their knowledge, but, why don't you let us know who you are.

Man I hope it doesn't turn out to be bogus. I've spent qite a bit of time the last few days doing all the research I can. It has been pretty hard finding much info. Another thing that may help is he said the front fenders had five holes in it for an embem in the stripe. Did the Nickey emblem have five studs? He said the emblems were missing when he got it. The emblem on the rear is there and there is a Nickey Performance sticker on the heater box.

Oh ya--- is this the info you were looking for on registering? I want to help anyway I can to recieve more help [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

69rsss350--What's the point of your message? No one cares if you think its bogus or not. If you don't have anything constructive to add---stay away. Sorry guys but that rubbs me the wrong way.

The point of my message is that your story sounds highly suspicious as to authenticity. This is not (if it proves to be) the first example of this kind on discussion boards as to possible "treasures" found which are too good to be true...
Why did this guy call you? Did he think you were knowledgeable about these cars or did he think he might have a big fish on the line? If you have seen this car then post the VIN, cowl tag, rear end codes and casting numbers and engine and tranny codes and casting numbers. If this guy really thought he had a Nickey COPO why in the hell would he call YOU instead of someone who really knew the cars value and might have the capability of paying it? If you were trying to get a rise out of someone, it worked so either get real or get lost!

wow.

He called me because I put a wanted ad in the WI trader. What can someone do w/ the VIN anyway? None has come forward and said that anything can be done w/ these numbers. I'm not trying to "pull" something here, just looking for a little help in finding out if this is the real deal. So get off my back.

Mike,
Nice to see you are running hot, straight, and normal and in good spirits. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] You have such a straightforward benchside manner, ya just seem a bit ruffled, scooter didnt fall off the lift recently, did it? Hey, I did just find a barn story (actually garage) 69 Azure Turquoise L89 RS Camaro, #'s matching, heavy options, doc's, project started and abandoned long ago, so this stuff still does exist out there. Found some other neat stuff also that will remain lost for the moment. Nice to see you came home from the local roadhouse long enough to grace us all with your abundance of charm and wit! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Those of us with the sandpaper personalities are here for a reason, to keep the rest of the world smooth! Happy holidays to you and the family.
