2002 nickey zl1 went in mecum auction Cool car but definitely not a 2002 ZL-1. If you read the article, it states it is a 35th anniversary SS which is exactly what it is. I have seen this car up close and personal at the SuperCar Reunion.
Here are some pictures that I took of this car:
You will notice on the back of the car it has the "SS" logo instead of the "ZL1 SuperCar" logo like my car has.
And...............it is not #69 because the #69 ZL1 was built and owned by Mike Carahan of GMMG who now owns Vengeance Racing and it was the Grumpy Jenkins tribute car:
None-the-less, again..................definitely a very cool car though.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.
It is a very special Camaro. It is NOT one of the numbered 2002 GMMG ZL1 Camaros, it is a NicKey Super Camaro.
It was built to show case the vision of what the ultimate street 4th generation NicKey / Bill Thomas Camaro could be.
It did start life from GM as a 35th Anniversary SS.
It features a C5R Bill Thomas 427 with twin turbos and has dynoed at well over 1,000 hp to the rear wheels.
That was a bunch for a street car back then : )
It was the last Car Project that Bill Thomas was involved with before he passed. (R.I.P.).
It was a hand full to hook up a under 100mph, but from 100 to 150mph plus it pulled very strong.
