The only documented example of its kind, this 1973 Chevrolet Camaro
was converted to Stage III LS6 big block status by Nickey Chevrolet
for its first owner, who raced the car to a best ET of 10.52 at 129
MPH on the way to a points championship (the prize for which was
the 4-speed manual transmission now in the car!). In 1990 it was
sold to a buyer in Japan who owned it for 20 years until it was
rediscovered and returned to the United States in August 2010. It
has been given a single repaint in its original Midnight Green and
retains all the original sheet metal with the exception of a rear
quarter section. In addition to its LS6 454/450 HP engine, it still
retains the original Nickey-installed Rocket wheels, traction bars,
Lear Jet AM/FM 8-track stereo, and rear end.
A Nickey supercar of this quality and exclusivity is a rare and
spectacular find. Certified in the Nickey Registry, this is the
ultimate Nickey big block Camaro conversion, complete with
voluminous documentation that includes a Nickey Certificate of
Authenticity, photographic, magazine and newspaper materials, race
records, copies of dealer records, Japanese title and export
documents, and statements of authentication from the original owner
and exporting dealer
