Interesting.......the car is listed in Mountion Home AR. The young guy at Vette Fest that bought Stefano's Nickey 02 ZL1 is based out of there with his "business" selling rare cars. I forgot his name though.

Mountain Home, AR...now there's a familiar place! Just over an hour south of here, and little bro commutes to/from the local college there twice a week. The dealer is TRM, but as many times as I've been to Mountain Home I've never been there...sounds like time for a road trip! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Chris Brannon is the owner of TRM & a great guy. Fair & very honest. I believe this 70 Chevelle is sold.

Just to clarify, the '02 ZL1 that TRM bought had the letters "NICKEY" on the side, but, it was not officially authorized by the holder of the Nickey trademark, so, it shouldn't be referred to as a "Nickey" Camaro. I know that may be splitting hairs, and, I don't want to come off as haughty about the Nickey name, but, just putting stickers on a car doesn't make it a "real" car. Cool car. It's just not an '02 Nickey Camaro.

Hey Frank,I think he is talking about your Chevelle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Seriously,that Survivor L34 1970 Chevelle was owned by Bill Ockerlund in Michigan for some time now.
And before that Steve,68L30,Knows they guy that bought it previously.I know MadManMatt was offering it for sale here last April.Bill told me it could be bought for 40K,but I & a few others was not interested.
He also mentioned that this Chevelle was built with Black stripes,but the owner had them removed,& then reapplied years later over the Lacquer paint.
It does look pretty,but I wish it had Factory Gauges.

Just noticed the build sheet shows it was shipped to Crivelli Chevrolet in McKees Rocks, PA. Crivelli Chevrolet is alive and well today and is only a stone's throw from downtown Pittsburgh. They used to sponsor a 69 Camaro drag car back in the day and apparently sold quite a few hi-perf units. I guess you could say they still do as there are a pair of Z06 'Vettes sitting in their showroom right now, about the only hi-perf Chevy left. Glad to see an old "Steel City" Chevelle is alive and well...probably a result of it not spending too much time on these salty PA roads. McKees Rocks isn't exactly what you'd call an upscale neighborhood these days, just an old run down steel town suburb. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if this was originally some Pittsburgh steel worker's pride and joy. Who knows, it may have even tangoed with some sYc cars from "Washington County's largest Chevrolet dealer." I doubt it's seen much action though, looks like it's been shown TLC since day one.

From what I recall the first owner is still around and bought two Chevelles.The other was a LS-6 that was sold just prior to this one...I was going to look at other NOS parts he bought when he had the Chevelles...

Rick Mike WAS NOT refering to my car. He was refering to the X Stefano Bimbi 02 ZL1#60.

Yes I do personally have a couple of Nickey decals on my car but I don't EVER recall representing my car as a Chevelle that was originally sold out of Nickey Chevrolet. As a matter of fact I think most members on this site might be sick of hearing me making refrences of my Chevelles original selling dealer Orville Nerhus Chevrolet in Lakefield, MN. When my car is displayed at a cruise night or show a copy of the build sheet is always displayed on the dashboard facing the windshield for all to view clearly stating this. The only reason that I have the Nickey Chevrolet stuff on my car is because I thnk that it is cool that they were actually in my area. You wouldn't believe all the storys and cool info that I have been told about Nickey Chevrolet since I have done this.

OK, I'm a little slow. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] So Orville Nerhus is a 'for real' dealership? I thought it was something you and Rick dreamed up in some alcohol induced stupor. No offense Orville but that's not one of your everyday household names!
