This Camaro exemplifies what Nickey Chevrolet was all about. A customer could order/ spec out a special custom built to order big block Super Car, then fly in from anywhere in the Country, drive it home, take it drag racing and kick some a$$..... all while making car payments to the teachers credit union.

The car has incredible docs and provenance. The history of this Camaro was first shared with the Registry by &quot;The Mayor&quot; many moons ago. We are glad that it has been found and brought back home.

There is however one other big block second generation Nickey Super Camaro in the registry as well. It is a 1974 LT Stage III LS7 454 delivered to Nickey in November of
1973 and finished just before Nickey Chevrolet closed it's doors.

See you at the auction!

Stefano: Could you post a link to that previous discussion about this one? I couldn't find it in my initial search.

And, Autoinsane: I wouldn't rule that possibility out as the dust settles after the auction.

Thanks.
