1967 Nickey Camaro?

Thanks members. I almost bid on that car. Its a good thing that someone got the add corrected. I just read that past discussion about the car and was surprised. You guys made it known that the fact it is a replica should be stated up front clearly. This new ad left that important fact out, and stated "all original parts", then gave a "VEHICLE HISTORY". If the car is not real then the parts can't be original and obviously not the correct history for the car. The information this board provides has helped me and I bet many others from getting taken.

You said it straight MattBek. The true nature of the car is clear. The whole Nickey backstory is joke. What history from Nickey? There is none. The car is a clone. Why is that so hard to understand....BKH

Brian, I think you hit the nail right on the head. Why put all of the info and facts about Nickey into the add when tha car is not an original Nickey? The car is a replica and should be represented as such.

From what can be seen in the pictures the car appears to be a very nice Camaro. It is a shame that the quality of the car is questioned due to it being portrayed as being original.

If the word 'clone' appeared in the title it would be so much more correct
(1967 Chevrolet : Camaro NICKEY 67 NICKEY CAMARO RS SS)

If I was selling this car I would blatantly say it was a clone. I would also say that it was a very nice car that a lot of money was invested into. The the car should sell on it's own merits.

What is this car worth? I would really love to hear what anyone would be willing to pay to have a car like this one in their garage.

The reason I have listed the history of "Nickey" is to educate people who do not know what a Nickey is, not of my car specifically.

I have listed the car as a replica because there is still some questionability if it could be a Nickey, we don't know for sure. The car could have some Nickey heritage, the car was originally purchased in Illinois.

Once again, we are not asking Nickey price, that would be over $100,000. We are not misleading anyone by the asking price.

Thank you for your interest.

I think the only dilema with a replica is that if you decide to sell the car you have to find a buyer who can appreciate the car for what it is. The worth of the car is tougher to pin point than an original car. This car does seem very nice and should make someone quite happy at the right price.

If you any of you guys are looking for a very nice clone check out my RS/SS 427 Convertible on the cars for sale page. You can get this car for about the same price. Usually when the top goes down the price goes up!
