Default First Nickey 427 Camaro test ever?

Having recently moved,I'm just getting around to display my hundreds of old car magazines,some of which I haven't seen for many years,judging from the circa 1986 newspaper I used to cushion some.

Anyway,long story short...I happen upon a 1/67 issue of "Tach",the official publication of the AHRA.On the cover (which features a neat rare picture of Tom McEwen boiling the hides in a SOHC Ford powered digger )they claim "First test anywhere of Nickey 427 Camaro"

This is a very through article spanning pages 6-15 and talks in-depth about the Camaro and Nickey Chevrolet.It also features an "option list" w/pricing and a Nickey/Dick Harrell ad with some wild pricing.

If any of you Nickey '67 427 Camaro fans have not seen this article and need it,let me know and I'd be happy to run some off
Just PM me with the info.

Take care,

John

I must confess I am not very computer smart...if I can turn it on & off I'm doing good ...but I will ask one of my buddies to see if he can help.

It is 10 pages long so I'm not so sure how long that would take...but my offer of running off some copies still stands.

Guys,

Thanks for the interest.I will start the copying process today and will try to run them out of my work to avoid costs if I can.Sending one to Hawaii may throw up a red flag,I don't know.

I've gotten replys but no addresses where to send them.My email address is [email protected] and you can leave your information there if you'd like.

John

I sent copies to Bruce & Jessie today,I'll need addresses for any other interested parties.

Jeff, I may have trouble getting a Hawaii package past my office girls but we can figure something out.
