Nickey Z-28 Sold

theres a guy on the Team camaro site that posted a pic of a 68 DANA RS/SS 350 car that was bid to 76K. both this one and that one overpriced for basic cars with minor tuning done to them. Now if they were 427 Cars, you could double that price real easy

A few years ago I bought a car from a fellow in SoCal. During negotiations he asked where in Canada I was from, I told him Calgary. It turned out that he was born and raised here and left in 1962. He pursued his dream of racing in SoCal.

It turned out that he ended up running the sports car department at Dana Chevrolet. His driving and mechanincal skills gave him an incredible career in drag racing for over three decades.

Bring on those orange Dana cars!

That 1969 Dana car didnt have doc's and the dealer selling the car doesnt have a good rep (tried selling a Gold COPO at Mecum last fall). With normal REAL NICE Z cars bringing 60k to 100k today I think a car small block car sold by Yenko, Nicky, Dana, Motion etc..WITH DOCUMENTS OR SOMETHING YOU COULD PROVE TO BE REAL, it would easily break into the low to mid 100k range and sell pretty fast too. IMO Personally I believe the Nickey in question could bring 200k to the right buyer..There just arent any REAL Nickeys available. And I know there are a few guys looking for them too.

Wow, those boys from "The Hawkeye State" really hit the jackpot then, didn't they.

Looking is just that...for 'lookers'.

You need to 'step up to the plate' if you have aspirations of being a real 'Nickey dude'.

To the right buyer...in his 'right mind'?

Let's not forget this is a high production Z/28 that came from a popular midwest high-performance dealership...Period!

I dont know to each they're own but I would bet it would bring some good coin. I know I would have NO problem paying around $135k to $150k for a similar car with Docs and papers saying Nickey did some tweaking/HiPo work to the car. I bet at Mecum or Barrett this car would go well over 150k. And Id bet the farm it didnt sell anywhere near the 70k mark someone earlier quoted. Thats just my 2 cents maybe I pay to much though..

Those Iowa farmers are pretty shrewd car traders. I'm quite sure they bought the Z/28 at a 'fair price' and didn't have to "bet the farm" to boot.

If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it...does it make any noise ?
