1967 Nickey Camaro RS-SS 427 1:25 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4377 Review

Review and Photos by Steven Hardwick

In 1967 Chevrolet released the Camaro, as a rival of the Ford Mustang. In those times, builders and modifiers took note of this little two door beauty and before long made it into some MONSTER rides. Some of the large dealers providing popular street legal racing builds were Nickey, Yenko, and of course GM with the factory COPO and Z11 versions. This was the “First Generation Body” and the start of what are still being made as the two-door Camaro.  It has been equipped with many different engine and transmission options lending themselves to a noticeable racing career. When bought new in 1967 this would have cost $2800 optioned as is, but now these cars bring top dollar at up to $500K+ with only 410 made in ‘67.
