Default Re: Real Nickey?

[ QUOTE ]
quote from Stephano

That looks like a Z28 that I purchased from a member here and sold at Auction this past January.

The car had nothing to do with the original Nickey Chevrolet. We did however provide a certificate of authenticity.

Stephano sold the car to him and he has the certificate stating the car is a real deal z28 from Stephano.

[/ QUOTE ]This is the kinda statement that is sooooo misleading....'real deal from stephano'

What the hell does THAT mean? I've talked to the seller via e-mail/ He CLEARLY states that in NO WAY is he implying the car ORIGINALLY was a NICKEY car in 1969, He states the car was sold by Nickey recently and Nickey certifies. that it is an ORIGINAL Z-28, not a clone.

I don't see where this guy has misrepresented this car in any way. He did nothing other than use Nickeys name as a reference that a respected , trusted musclecar name had once owned and inspected this car. In My opinion, perhaps some of the posters in this thread should have just asked the seller the same questions I did, rather than guess out loud, perhaps at the sellers expense.

Maybe I will sell my nova to Nickey, and then buy it back, then I would have a Nickey nova. Sweet

Sorry Jim but I don't agree. The title and desrciption both say 1969 Nickey Camaro. The description mentions documentation but never says that it is only documented as a real Z-28. The seller is being very vague. If it were as plain as you seem to think it is this discussing would have never been posted here.
I'm not knocking Stephano but I think he should reword the documents in the future to make it a little more clear. JMO

Again..I can only tell you what he told me in response to my e-mail questions...certainly buying a car in this price range would garner the some very basic questioning for clarification wouldn't it? Guy was straight with me right from the beginning..I have no dog in the race so.....

he still calls it a "Nickey Camaro" in the second title line. Deceptive it the only word that comes to mind.
It should never be worded Nickey Camaro. Camaro, certified by Nickey Chicago would be fine.

It also says "ZL1 JL8"; but that's just part of the PeeBait game.

Kenwood...There are many more than two black with white interior Z28's. He probably means he has only personally certified two.
