Nickey Camaro?

[PxTx]

I commented on the 1st thread on the car here:

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...637#Post478637

Here is what I wrote below. It seems it would have been worth it to include some of the ques that tipped people off on it being Nickey in the first place.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I don't get this restoration. I can't see anything uniquely Nickey. Modern bars, summit cover, stock type air cleaner. The car seems conflicted on what is supposed to represent. There are none of the special aftermarket tuning equipment commonly used by Nickey on the car.

If this was just a motor swap deal I don't get it. The story is that the original owner kept getting beat with his L78. Probably wasn't much of a wrench then. Paid for a 427 engine swap and a paint job and then what?

The car may have true history, but the way it's presented isn't really flattering the car. </div></div>

Car is also being advertised online @ $ 129 thou..
But whatever $, a whole lot less cars sell for waaay more every day!.

Aside from the L78 tag story and added bling etc, the car is cool also Stephano's blessing as stated seems to have a nice ring to it!.
Buy it right and enjoy the car makes the most sense, finding a more solid original Nickey connection later would be a plus!.

The only Mills connection is from ending up there later and not originally delivered there, correct?.

While some key components of the story did check out and the car could possibly have been a Nickey Shop built car, there is nothing to validate the story at this point.

NICB records had shown the car delivered to an Iowa dealership.
The original sheet metal and original interior condition helped support the low Midwestern salt belt miles.

Mills had nothing to do with the car when it was sold new. Their history with the car goes back approx 10 years.

There would be a few in the CRG database.

Actually about 7 years ago, I began a project to keep track of the 69 L89's.

I don't think so.
