Nickey / Bill Thomas 1967 Autorama

[JoeC]

Something happened between Nickey Chev and Dick Harrell in late 66 or early 67.

Harrell and Chevrolet were working on getting the 427 Camaro approved for AHRA Super

Stock so they put together a deal with Yenko and Harrell and AHRA in March 1967.

AHRA required 50 car minimum. Yenko and Harrell had a special 427 Camaro drag package that included a Scatter shield , traction bars, headers, hi temp plug wires , Tach and gauges, and hood pins. This info is on many of the original work orders.

Harrell put together a four car drag racing team sponsored by Yenko and Harrell.
This was for 1967 only.

Here's a great document which provides some clarity to Nickey/Harrell program initiating the 427 Camaro class. Thanks Stefano!
