With the help of 2 great Chevy guys my ZL1 dream continues with a new car! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mutant Racer · 10-17-2014, 07:15 PM

After a terrible set of circumstances with my black '13 ZL1 the folks at Nickey here in Chicago and a gentleman named Dennis Barker (who is a Chevy God) took mercy on me and managed to get me back in to a brand new 2013 Crystal Red Tintcoat ZL1 for an amazing price within 30 days. Stefano Bimbi at Nickey offered to help me out and put me in touch with Dennis to get the process started and today I finally went over to Nickey to bring my new car home. The people at Nickey are truly a class act that is hard to find these days and yes they run a business but they also look out for and care about their customers.

All Camaro pilot's in the midwest should be taking their cars to Nickey! They set the standard for all to follow as far as I'm concerned!

Where did they find a brand new minty fresh 2013 ZL1? A customer had ordered this car and eventually felt he had waited too long so he backed out and now it is all mine! I'll be starting over with mods but first I must break the car in.

What happened to the first car? I love that color on the ZL1 and the C7; looks great.

Sexy!

Love how the SnapOn banner is hanging in the shop! You a franchisee?

hypercarfanatic · 10-17-2014, 08:15 PM

This is the first primarily red camaro that I have seen that I actually like

I wish I knew. I've had way too many concussions over the years so my memory absolutely sucks. The cop that was on the scene told me later at the hospital I must have lost control somehow or tried to avoid something and wound up in the fence.

It's a very uncomfortable feeling not being able to recall a crash.

bobby35ny · 10-17-2014, 11:13 PM

Color looks familiar!!! Congrats

Expunge · 10-18-2014, 12:13 AM

You add the seats or it come with the car?

Todd in Vancouver · 10-18-2014, 12:27 AM

Car looks awesome.

When I got my ZL I went to look and test drive a silver '13 ZL that was slightly used but had planned on ordering a yellow ZL after my test drive. Then I walked into the dealership and what is sitting in the middle of the showroom for display? A Crystal Red Tintcoat '14 ZL1 and that's what I drove home. That was a year ago at the end of this month and I still feel like a kid in a candy store every morning I leave my hose and see my CRT ZL1. It is without a doubt my favorite red I've seen on any car, ever. And is absolutely striking when in the sunshine. I've never received so many compliments on a car I've owned and I've had a lot of cars. Enjoy your car and breaking it in before the modding begins.

That sucks but I'm glad you made it through! Nice ride btw!

Mutant Racer · 10-18-2014, 10:17 AM

Thanks everyone! I'm going out in a few minutes for some highway fun but the sun ain't out. I'll take more pics anyway.

I had those lined up for my last ride since I got sick of hunting Recaro's a while ago. After some searching around and Nickey helping me out I scored the Corbeau's but then I crashed before getting them installed so they went right in to my new Z.

That's a cool story! Did you get your windows tinted? I have to get that done.

They are wrapped up at Nickey and are for sale. They were removed when the car arrived and are waiting for someone to buy them. Driver and passenger seats.

Anybody wants them please contact Stefano at Nickey.
