I thought I'd post this up here to help get the word out about the new 5th Gen Nickey Camaros that will be available very soon. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Stefano Bimbi and Dennis Barker on their new 5th Gen Concept. They had seen some of my work in Popular Hot Rodding and decided they wanted to work with me on their Nickey Camaro - special thanks to Steve Rupp for forwarding my contact info over! For now I worked with them closely in dialing in the details on the rendering. Once they have a car I will also be working directly with Stefano, Dennis, and the prototype/tooling development company in dialing in the composite parts. Anyways, here's a little from info on their Camaros from Mr. Bimbi on the direction of the Nickey Camaros.
We are proud to be offering 2010 Nickey Camaros, based on the 5th Generation Platform.
All of the details are not set in stone, at this time, as this is a work in progress.
However; We do have most of the details for the Stage I, Stage II and Stage III Conversion Packages dialed in.
Stage I: Mild Modifications to the Stock LS3
Stage II: Completely reworked LS3, (Stock V8 used in the Camaro).
Stage III: This is a complete new/different LS7 427ci transplant.
We have established a Dealer Network, in order to fulfill Customer Orders, in one of two ways.
We have dealers who feel confident that they will promptly receive Camaro inventory for Stock; Method One, will be from off their showroom Floors.
These dealers will at some point, in the future have Nickey Camaros in stock and ready for delivery.
The second Method is that you will be able to place a SOLD order, through one of these Dealers and then have your car built to your specs, off the Nickey Option Sheets.
We will be anouncing all the participating Network Dealers and will also list the specs and pricing, as soon as we have them available.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. I will do my best to answer them.
Regards,
Stefano Bimbi
