Real Nickey?

That's his side job. Car sales are down.

True but in his ad it sure seems like he is claiming it to be a nickey camaro. Either way I was just curious if it was a nickey or not.

I'm kinda scratching my head too. The document states that it is a "Certificate Of Authenticity". What exactly is it certifying as authentic? Just what is on the trim tag?



Also pretty interesting that the auction is including "I HAVE A REAL YENKO ZL1 REBUILT WITH MOSTLY ALL NOS GM PARTS THAT GOES WITH THE DEAL."

Again not implying it was an original Nickey car but still you can tell your Buds It came from Nickey

quote from Stephano

That looks like a Z28 that I purchased from a member here and sold at Auction this past January.

The car had nothing to do with the original Nickey Chevrolet. We did however provide a certificate of authenticity.

Stephano sold the car to him and he has the certificate stating the car is a real deal z28 from Stephano.

everybody has opinions, but I am suprised by some of these.
A plain DESIREABLE car from a famed dealer, may not be worth the premium of their "known for cars", but I think it would certainly carrie a premium. The market will always decied that, so opinions mean zippo, it is only the market's opinion that matters.

I know I would happily pay a premium for a Mr Norms TA over any other........

Hey Johnny, I'm with you. A couple of years ago a 1969 Burgandy Z/28 with a Nickey Protecto-plate sold at Mecum for well over $100K. I thought it was a great car but, the stripes on the deck lid were painted crooked yet it still brought big money because of the Nickey affiliation. JMO, Ed

What the hell does THAT mean? I've talked to the seller via e-mail/ He CLEARLY states that in NO WAY is he implying the car ORIGINALLY was a NICKEY car in 1969, He states the car was sold by Nickey recently and Nickey certifies. that it is an ORIGINAL Z-28, not a clone.

I don't see where this guy has misrepresented this car in any way. He did nothing other than use Nickeys name as a reference that a respected , trusted musclecar name had once owned and inspected this car. In My opinion, perhaps some of the posters in this thread should have just asked the seller the same questions I did, rather than guess out loud, perhaps at the sellers expense.

Maybe I will sell my nova to Nickey, and then buy it back, then I would have a Nickey nova. Sweet

Sorry Jim but I don't agree. The title and desrciption both say 1969 Nickey Camaro. The description mentions documentation but never says that it is only documented as a real Z-28. The seller is being very vague. If it were as plain as you seem to think it is this discussing would have never been posted here.
I'm not knocking Stephano but I think he should reword the documents in the future to make it a little more clear. JMO

Again..I can only tell you what he told me in response to my e-mail questions...certainly buying a car in this price range would garner the some very basic questioning for clarification wouldn't it? Guy was straight with me right from the beginning..I have no dog in the race so.....
