Does anyone else build model cars ?

That car was the one that was at Barrett Jackson this past Jan. The car did not have any paperwork as I remember it.

Actually it has documentation. I've followed this car for a long time since it was first found by Gene Schmidt. Gene found it many years ago with all the Nickey emblems and accessories etc. Gene is more well known for his Yenko's. I later tried to buy this Nickey after it went to Joe Lukason. This was about 5 or 6 years ago before Joe had it restored but he decided to keep it. Anyway it has the NICB report which shows it came new from GM to Nickey. It was inspected by Nickey's Don Swiatek who was in charge of building the Nickey's and he remembered this particular car and has verified it. Also Dave Delgado (Spelling?) who was one of the Nickey mechanics that built it has also verified it from looking at locations on the car where they did the Nickey modifications. I wish it was mine.

Kevin,
Thank you for the info. When I attended the auction in Jan. I was told that the car was without documents. I have been interested in "Nickey" cars for a few years now, there is a gentleman from Ct. who actually races his '67 Nickey Camaro at the track that I announce at here in NJ. The car is "Deepwater"? or "Marina"? blue with a white top (non-RS). The Camaro was in a special Camaro edition of Super Chevy a few years ago. Does the gentleman with the Nickey info entertain calls? If he does could you send me info so that I might ask him a few questions? (732)-747-0066. Thanks for the info again.

P.S. Dan Blocker's (of Bonanza fame) 1965 Z-16 Chevelle SS 396 might have been delivered thru Nickey Chevrolet. I was talking to the current owner and he told me that.

Hey Rat_Pack, do you have some decent pics of Mike G's '71 Motion? I want to build a kit and would love those pics for reference. Feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks,

Mark, not a problem, I will get them to you by the morning. To make a replica of that car you need to convert it to a straight bumper car instead of the RS that the current kit is depicted as.....RatPack......

Cool, I've been looking for a reason to get one of Matt Conte's standard front conversions for that kit.
