I was going through some photos in my old computer and found a file on this infamous "Nickey" Camaro. I was interested in buying this car. I drove to the owners house and inspected the car and paperwork . I shot some photos of the car and paperwork. The trim tag photo was interesting.

That's a bogus tag.

Are you referring to the build date and the 4K?

Felix Lopez, the owner of the "Nickey" has a protect o plate with his name which he claims is for this "Nickey" Camaro. The PP identifies a 67 327 PG Camaro sold from Nickey, but the vin does not match up with the vin to this "Nickey" car. The VIN on the PP is 124377N109118.

Sorry for the crappy photo quality as the photos are screen shots from my old Dell computer

I doubt an employee at NICKEY would have forgotten to include the "E" in the selling dealer's name but it's easy to understand how someone creating false documents would do so when motivated by greed and lacking in basic observation skills. I guess it sounds like Nicky when you say it...at least he spelled his own name correctly.

Ultra rare buildsheet
The bottom of this build sheet shows the same 327 PG drivetrain as the protect o plate, but the upper portion shows a rare L78 drive train

The car's VIN is: 124377N152608. It does not match the VIN on the Protect o plate
