Chicago Chevy-Vette Fest

[Stefano]

ssl78,
I am not saying that the car is not real, and would agree that it was sold from Nickey Chevrolet but the Documents you are referring to, are very easy to duplicate.
Just my opinion however.

No sign of any bowling trophies this year either.

I am not saying that I am documenting it because I am no expert. The fact is it statrted off as a l-78 car he bought new at Nickey and for I think 400.00 had a phse 2 option added 427 tri power. He wanted to keep the SS hood and has owned the car all theese years, and has stated it was a Nickey conversion for as long as I could remember. Is it possible it isnt real? yes, but a little unlikely since he claimed it was a Nickey conv. when it was worth probably less than a Z/28 was. I really dont know I just think its cool he is the original owner of any muscle car for 35 years.

Why do you think the car started life as an L/78. The trim tag does not show that it was. Also the "early years" pictures clearly show small V8 flags on the fenders. This is what I have seen...BKH

I believe he stated he had the pro-tecto-plate and that is what it stated. I personally did not see it he didnt have it there.

Any comments on the two barrel carb. Motion SS 350 camaro present at the show? Car had Motion stickers and emblems all over-including "Mr. Motion" stickers placed on the top of the factory orange painted valve covers.

[ssl78]

I was at the show today and the car was sold. I was told the car was a 327 brought to motion to get reworked.

[sixtiesmuscle]

What color was the car, and, who told you it was "reworked" by Motion?

[ssl78]

It was a very light blue.
