Nickey / Bill Thomas 1967 Autorama

[JoeC]

Something happened with the Nickey Chev racing program.
They also announced a 1967 Trans Am Camaro
I don't know if they ever built it.
The car was entered for Sebring 1967 but the listing shows as "Did Not Arrive"


Dick Harrell was the drag racing connection with Chevy and AHRA
He was racing and winning in the 409 Impalas
He had a 1963 Z-11 national winning car
In 1964, he bought a new 1964 Chevelle and installed a 1963 Z-11 427
In 1965, he worked with Bill Thomas on a Chevy II 427 car he bought from Bill T
1966 to early 1967 , Bill Thomas and Nickey
1967 Yenko 427 Camaros and four car drag team sponsorship
1968 and 1969 worked with Fred Gibb and COPO cars

Harrell worked with a bunch of Chev dealers who wanted a big name drag racer with AHRA connections
