Posts: 28 1967 Nickey Camaro FunnyCar by Bill Thomas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found this ad in several fall of 1967 AHRA DragWorld newspapers. In another post on this Nickey forum, there is mention to Dick racing a Nickey 1967 Camaro 440" funnycar, the article is dated late 1966? From what I have read in the literature, Dick left Nickey Chevrolet in early 1967, and from what I think is known, his first Don Hardy Camaro funnycar was under construction in early 1967.

This car was built in CA, and powered by Bill Thomas. Is much known about what transpired regarding this car, and who ended up purchasing and racing it?

Bill Thomas in CA. was involved. Could explain why the first picture of any DH fuuny car is of the red car in Califonia, and still under construction (no spoiler, funky parachute attachment, etc)
