The introduction of the 1967 Camaro as Chevy’s answer to the Mustang was much anticipated by both Chevrolet dealers and the buying public alike. The sporty little "pony car” was expected to set a new standard for high performance, and while most thought the Camaro’s new 350 CI engine would far surpass the performance of the small block Mustang, Nickey Chevrolet of Chicago had bigger plans for the Camaro. Working with legendary Chevrolet race car and engine builder Bill Thomas in California and GM performance manager Vince Piggins behind the scenes, Nickey developed a plan to install the potent 427 Corvette engines into the Camaro body as soon as they were available in late ’66. Bill Thomas Race Cars would convert the cars to be sold in the west, and the famous drag racer Dickie Harrell was brought in to kick off the car building and sales program in Chicago. The publicity resulting from this unique strategic alliance was historic.
