1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

I located what is said to be to be a 1973 Nickey Chevelle. Anyone ever heard of or seen any of these?If so what kind of production would there have been?Wondered if someome made it up years ago as the paint is nowhere near new and it does say Nickey.Also has a hood mounted tach similar to something Pontiac would have used and a trunk mounted 3 piece spoiler similar to a Camaro. Any help would be appreciated,Thanks

Hi
This article is from Musclecar Review January 1993 P14
Idle Chatter https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
I have no more info

Re: 1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

Ken is a member of this board and the 67 Camaro is also owned by a different member of this board now and is beautifully restored. The car also appeared on the cover of Popular Hot Rodding back in 1967 showing a yellow big block being dropped between those beautiful fenders!

Re: 1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

Just FYI, my red '67 Bill Thomas built car was not the one on the cover of Popular Hot Rodding. Also, that whole idea about Nickey and yellow engines is not true, at least, according to the man who installed most of them.

Re: 1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

My mistake Mike. I thought it was the same car.

Re: 1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

Just wanted to update and notify everyone that the so called "Nickey car" in the above ad is a fake.I bought the car from the owner named in the magazine ad from 93 shortly after i inquired about it here a couple weeks ago.After some research and help from a couple guys on here and a NICB report it was a complete fraud.I have notified the seller that the car is being returned and i will be getting my full refund plus transport fees.When i bought this car 2 weeks ago it was advertised as being a 73 Nickey Chevelle 1 of 9 made.The seller knew it was refund the moola or go to court with no chance of winning.The vin is 1D37Y3K602876 take note for future reference,,,"ebay possibly"? Hope not but if he tried it once who's to say never again.

I have some information for the 73 Nickey SS cars.I know that it was less than 10 I'll get back with the correct number later.

Re: 1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

Sorry I thought I had the information about the 1973 Nickey Chevelle.But I do have som information about the 1973 Motion chevelles.They came with the Phase lll 427 and from what I've been told there were 5 built.

Re: 1973 Nickey Chevelle SS ?
 

Muscle Car Review (May 2000) did a spread on a '73 BM Chevelle, 427 L88 Phase III. Owned by Tom Cahill at the time of publication.
The article stated that it was the only one built, and that it was the last car that Joel Rosen built before the EPA came to visit him. The price was $12K out the door, which was equal to the gov't average for one years wages for '73.

I will try to scan some of the pictures, and post them if they look OK.
