Default Mike G, Awesome pair if I may say so

Nice looking Nickey's Mike, The 67 by itself is one clean ride and now it has a stable mate in the form of a Twin Turbo 1000 HP 02 Nickey Camaro. 1 of 3 to be made. Looking forward to the write up in an up-coming magazine.

How bout bringing them both to SCR7 and see what the 02 will do on the track

Will there be a 2nd one in <font color="blue">blue </font> ??

Thanks Jeff. I sent some more pics to Belair , so, he can post if you want to see them. All three of these Bill Thomas engineered Nickey/Thomas 35th Anniversary 427 SS cars will be identical, so, they are all RED. Bill Thomas had a saying that a race car "has to be RED".

Thanks Bob. The real credit goes to the guys who developed the concept,and, built the engine -Bill Thomas &amp; his son Bill III; John Garrison for the outstanding head work; and Rob Raymer of Quarter Mile Performance for great work in engineering the turbos, intercooler, chassis work, etc. and, completing a very complicated installation process with his typical professionalism.

Thanks Mark. I think all the '02 Supercars I've seen are awesome, but, I have a particular love for this one too. BTW, one of the other two cars WILL be available.

Rick, the interior has the stock 35th Anniversary logo embroidered seats. What you see in red is the harness.

Mike,

That is an incredible car! I heard about it when still being conceived, it looks just right. What a powerplant, and by BT himself, a true work of art. I am not suprised that BT commented about red. My favorite color for racecars.
See you soon.
