1969 Camaro Help

All those stamps are legit and verify that you have a real 69 z/28. How about the rear axle tube stamping?

Thanks

NicKey Chevrolet sold many Z28s from 1967 to 1973. According to the late Don Swiatek, he was directly involved with testing both the GM X-Ram as well as the aftermarket X-Rams.

He personally owned and drag raced a 1969 Z28 with an X-Ram. </div></div> </div></div>

Our files are limited and we do not have any records for your Z28.

Your going to need to do some leg work and start kicking over some stones. You never know what might turn up.

Good luck.

Steel or fiberglass crossram hood? What is the story on the stripes? Was the car repainted and the stripes left off? Any under hood pictures? Neat car.

I remember meeting a guy with a black nickey camaro (67 or 68 but not a 69) in a Morris IL car show (just southwest of Chicago), he said when he asked someone in the know, to verify his car as a Nickey, they said to look for a stamp or punch on the core support with the initial phone call. What ever he found, led them to step 2. His car turned out to be real conversion, after that initial phone call. I dont know if would indicate was serviced there at this point (and that's how they tracked who worked on the car), but it could mean something. Take with a grain of salt.

Nice looking car from the pics, Why would you tear it all apart rather than cleaning it up and getting everything operational &amp; fixing what needed fixed ? Appears to be a real nice car to start with ....

Just curious but do your factory headers have a round 4 bolt or round 3 bolt collector flange?

Yep rear end is BU 1105G2 - 3.73 November 5 which falls right in line with everything else. Got very lucky with this being such a complete, unmolested car!

Headers had a 3 bolt collector.
