Out of curiosity, I ran the VIN and obtained a NCRS Data Shipping Report

Turns out the car was not originally purchased at Nickey Chevrolet, it was purchased from Hartigan Chevrolet Inc. in Chicago, IL.

Maybe the car was sold or traded to Nickey from Hartigan Chevrolet?

In deference to all our veterans especially Vietnam vets, mr Lopez is telling a lie and for many, many years.

Respectfully, the NCRS paperwork shows the dealer who originally took delivery of the car - not the dealership who originally sold it.

Mr Lopez in the interview is raving about the original documentation and has the pop but it clearly has the wrong vin and is a (ME) 327-210hp. How come no one is calling him out on it? Well, maybe they are.

No question that the Hot Rod magazine test car was very cool and has a lot of history behind it. I have seen the car in person and wrote down the VIN and cowl tag info. According to the cowl tag, it was built in August so it would be hard for it to be at the Mesa Proving Ground in May 66. The serial number was in the 102xxx range so there were at least a couple thousand Camaros in California before that one. I'm not bashing you or the car, just wanting to pass on some factual information on it. Like I said, it's a great piece of Camaro history. &lt;img src=&quot;/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but weren't even the very early released cars (i.e. May on cars that went to magazines, etc.) tagged with an August body tag? That would explain an August tag car being in Riverside in May 66.

Yes, I know this is an old thread. Just finished reading the whole thing. WOW!!!! fake stuff everywhere. And with the knowledge that we have now, it would be pretty hard to back pedal this one. Hats off to Brian for exposing this one.

Wow! I just read the whole thread. I may have seen it years ago, but forgot about it. This car is/was a '67. How could the Protect-O-Plate show the delivery date as 11-10-66 when the cowl tag has a 12B (December '66, 2nd week) body assembly date?!?! Is that really a ship date for the car on the build sheet that says 5/7/67?1?1?! And a Nickey invoice for 10/17/67?!?! What the heck is going on???
