nickey is such a rare word around here it certainly gets alot of attention. any whereabouts of a big block nickey, i've seen a picture of a beautiful purple/black vinyl top car in one of the muscle car magazines that is gorgeous. other than that don't know where to start. this seems to be the place, by the way , not a clone!

I'm not aware of any documented Nickey cars that have been featured in magazines yet. Some cars represented as "Nickeys" have been, but, if anybody knows differently, please share.

There is a Nickey Camaro feature car on this site that has an interesting history

Doug Marion wrote in Super Chevy years ago that Nickey sold quite a few 396/425 and L-72 Impalas and Biscaynes in 1965 and 1966.Although they were not as rare as the conversion cars,they were still pretty scarce.

JoeC..That car is really ugly..Not sure why the owner doesn't unload it....To me.

I will be in Chicago for the Vettefest and may be going to Sacramento for spring break right after that. I could drive it cross country for you if you want?

Charley, maybe he will swap it for your blue 67 convertible with the replacement engine and the funny grab handles.

I'm afraid he couldn't handle all the Power. Thats why it has grab handles. Now if he were to throw in a Jack Douglas Yenko Clone car we might get somewhere. :-)

Oh, O.K. Sounds like a good deal to me. Where can I deliver them. LOL, now go find your own! They're a dime a dozen here in Chicagoland.
