That black Chevy II is not Bad Bascomb. I had talked with Mr.Thomas about that car and he said that Dick never had a black one, it was always red. Then I showed him that exact same picture and he said that car must have been something that Dick had built after he wrecked Bad Bascomb. Until I showed him that picture he had never even known of the car. Dick did work in his shop while they built the 66 Chevy II funny car, but he was not a regular employee. Dick was a drag racer per Mr.Thomas. I asked how Dick got involved with Yenko & Nickey he said that he introduced Dick to the owners of Nickey one day and the rest was history. He never knew how Yenko was ever involved......................RatPack............. ..........

The picture I have of the Black car says Retribution 2 on it.It was an earlier NovaI have posted an invoce on the other site from Dick to Yenko. dated 8-1-67. Like I said I will have to look into other paperwork I have here. Best I can tell Dick worked for Nickey from sometime in 65 till about early 67.I have just located a Magazine called Tach of Jan 67 claiming to be the 1st to show the Nickey 427 Camaro.If I can scan the article I will do it.Enjoy

Rat Pack,

Did Bill Thomas state that Dick owned Bad Bascomb? I have seen the 68 or 69 Nova Funny named "Bad Bascomb's Ghost", and thought it was raced by some friends of Dick's. I have interior shots of both cars, (the red Retribution II and Bad Bascomb) they look the same.
