Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
Wouldn't the only '69 Camaro 512 block w/ a factory stamped pad Vin possible be an L72....and this is a ragtop?? . Were the Nickey folks known to stamp the Vins on the transplanted blocks? . Go do the Charley deposit/deal thing w/ the guy, get a pic of the pad while you're gathering info and go man....run fast! .

Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
I want to say thank you to all of you who have responded to my post. I gather from each response that documentation is probably the most important thing--there is really no other way to tell by just looking at the car that would tell me if it is a real Nickey. I am going to attempt to find the build sheet to see if it was sold new at Nickey Chevrolet. I will find out probably this evening if the build sheet exists. If so, I will probably make the deal and buy the car this evening. I will let you know--thanks again.

Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
Why would an L88 have a Camaro VIN any way ? I would be real meticulous here bud...NICB is National Insurance Crime Bureau report and its not real easy to get...gotta know someone in Law Enforcement who doesn't mind putting his job in jeopardy

Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
I think the NICB is out of the equation, is there anything I can look for, on the outside of the engine, to determine if it is a real L88?

Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
Suffixes for GM built '69 L88 Vette motors could be LO, LV, ME, MG, MR and maybe MS? . Could be a CE motor too? . Again what's w/ the Vin stamping if L88 unless Nickey did it to the transplant....get pad pictures. .

Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
Why would an L-88 in a Camaro have the car's VIN stamped on the pad? It sure did not get stamped at the factory and I have never heard of Nickey or any other dealer stamping VIN's. It certainly could be a fun car being a convertible with an L-88, but I sure would not pay a premium unless you had strong paperwork to prove the car came equipped that way from Nickey. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Re: 1969 Convertible Camaro Nickey Car
And according to Colin...I told the seller I would write him a check for 2 mil for the car......As soon as I find that magic check book I misplaced.
