I believe it used to belong to Dwayne. He worked at Lincolns Auto Wreckers and Corvettes. Lincolns was a big junk yard in Seattle owned by two Brothers or Brother-In-Laws.They both Owned the junk yard and Ed Lincoln owned the Towing Company. If memory serves me Right The Camaro was a Dana, it was an Impound and Dwayne bought it from the Lincolns. The Camaro Had a 427, Dual Quads, M-22 and 4:56s. I think Dwayne sold it in the Mid 80s for $20 or $25K.

Not quite life sized, but much clearer now. It does say Nickey on the hood, which will further confuse things. I know nothing about this car, but at the time I knew what the significance of Nickey Chevrolet was. I was impressed enought to take 4 photos, which was a compliment to the owner.

Dang is right. Cool car and I'm sure it won a few races. It looks fast.

crud...ok I will dig out the add tomorrow and scan it, could be his car, the dope driving does kinda resemble him, but I only saw the car in pure stock form except for the supposed conversion from Nickey, it even had 14x6 Rallys with low mile redlines on it, until he put the JL-8 rear in then they wouldnt fit, so he went with steelies and GM wire hubcaps.

I wish I could have gotten to the Z sooner it had a ton of cool stuff but he parted it out fast, I got the motor out of it the rest scattered all over town, I have always wondered about that car, it was pretty unmolsted just tired, wish we could decode stuff back then.

Hey Bud. Good to hear from you. Thought you'd done drowned by this time.

I spoke to the owner of this car first in the late 90's, and, he is a great guy. He has owned it since about 1980, and, has original paperwork from Bill Thomas, where the original owner ordered the car to be built as a Stage III Nickey Camaro. It had, and still has, original stickers from both Nickey and Bill Thomas Engineering. The hood was installed by Thomas, along with the Nickey emblems, and, a Nickey dealer sticker. The scoops on the hood are open in both the front and rear. Terry Hatcher would say it's real, and, it's awesome!
