John:
Enjoy Geneva.
The Nickey web site has a picture of a Vinigaroon, should be spelled
"Vinegaroon" as seen on the side of the car under Nickey.
I believe this car competed in the USRRC and possibly Can-Am. Will look up
later. Vinegaroon was the name given to the car. Believe car was Mk 6
McLaren.
Vinegaroon is a spider, a whipscorpion. does not have a stinger can be 6
inches long
is docile can be held and kept in aquarium style tanks.
Dan Blocker (Hoss Cartwright) campaigned, as owner, a Vinegaroon for awhile.
Do not remember if it was a Nickey car.
just some bottom level trivia no one wants.
But enjoy the weekend.

I will be going to the Geneva Concours this weekend. There is a special event
on Saturday that my friend Tom and I are attending. see the link here:
http://www.genevaconcours.net/ I'll be working as a volunteer at the
information booth on Sunday for the event.
The Saturday morning event is the one I am anxious about:
http://www.genevaconcours.net/gala.html It is my understanding that the Nickey
Chevrolet performance cars were similar to Yenko dealer installed performance
options. We'll see what I can get pictures of.

Beats the crud out of me. The hood emblem is not Lambo. I would venture a
guess that it is a one off Italian styling creation based of who knows what.
It does have that Lambo look but with a little Mangusta and or Maserati of the
late seventies.

It sorta reminds me of a Lamborghini..that was the result of an
unholy union with a Honda Fit. Demon spawn.
