I thought it might have been this one but it has a white 500 stripe.
This is from Moparfest 2003.
The owner got this back in trade for a Canadian red on red Daytona
Anyone know where it is now?

Sorry I don't have the fender tag or VIN from this one.

The Nickey that is around now is not the same as the orignal dealership.   The dealership went out of biz in the late 70's.

I had that car in the registry from an ebay ad back on 6/27/07 in Greenbay, WI  I believe the tag is a repro as well...

Interesting to see XX on the tag while the 210735 Hemi car has XS
I wonder if they ever put a spare tire on the rim?

The "GTS"  inspection was included in the auction as well

XX29J9B210731 has been up for sale by at least 4 different owners in the last 5 years. First time I called about it being for sale was 5 years ago, and at that time it was in Canada. Asking price was $45K Canadian at the time, which worked out to about $34K US at the time. The car had a 67 HEMI in it then, and I was told the tag was a reproduction by the then seller.
Fast forward a year, and the car was now for sale by a place in Washington. Asking price was $70K US. Fast forward another year and it was still for sale by the people in Washington, but this time was up for auction in AZ. Asking price then was $125K.
Then earlier this year the car was for sale at the BJ auction this spring. I think it sold for $114K?, can't remember exactly.
Car then went to the Chicago area I believe, and they have been trying to sell the car ever since then. Car was listed as being for sale on the yenko website about a week after BJ ended.

I think it is the same car that BEEPBEEP posted pics of too. As it was repainted when it was in washington. First picture I have of the feder tag, it is bare metal, and the car has a white stripe. Next set of pics I have for the car, it is wearing a black stripe, and the fender tag is painted body color.

 I just saw that same Hemi 500 listed through a dealer in Canada about a week or so ago and in the first conversation with the salesman, he said it was an original car and such. I asked for some info. on it and was thinking it was this same car. Once I receieved the pics and docs I new right away this was in fact that same car. As mentioned it has a 67 Hemi and a non-numbers trans. I even think that somewhere along the line the Dana was removed and later another Dana was installed by a different owner. I have considered buying it a few times but was never 100% sure about it. 69_500 is right, it has been up for sale at least 4-times in the last few years and sold at B-Jackson earlier this year. I was told by one of the previous owners from awhile back that when he had the car he had the original fender tag, then somehow lost it in transit. He did say that at some time he had done a pencil marking of it and was able to give that to Galen to make a new tag. I guess as long as it is a real Hemi C500 then it is still a very sweet ride, right?

So how much is this Nickey place trying to get for it anyway?

[69_500]

As far as this one being an XX on the fender tag, and the other car 210735 being XS, there is a reason for that too. Seems that B14 (november 14th) is the split date for fender tags on 500's. Before that date all of them have XS, after this date all of them have XX (with 3 exceptions). But on Novemer 14th, they are split pretty even one way and then the other.

[nascarxx29]

Seems the car has been handed alot off from dealer to dealer .Must have issues?

[moparchris]

I was looking at this car before I purchased my C500 (210742)  The car definately had a 67 motor in it and it had terrible paint (lots of dirt etc..)  Slight rust in the typical places but noting bad at all.  This was when it was in Wash. state.  It was then at Russo-Steele auction and the battery was dead and they could never run it across the block.  It was sold privately at the auction.  It then was sold to Pat Goff in Minnesota.  Pat is a well known hemi collector.  He decided to liquidate some cars and thats when it went to the dealer in Wisc.
The Nickey deal is an individual who bought the Nickey name and rights and is now marketing his car business as Nickey.  He specializes in Chevy muscle cars but will broker just about anything.  Not passing judgment, just helping flesh out the story on the car.

I got the previous owner ad before Lears owned your 500

[moparchris]

That's the guy who bought it FROM the Lear brothers.  I have tried to track him down several times and always run into a dead end.  He is the only owner that I don't know and I've always wondered if he is the guy who lost the build sheet or if the car just never had one.

210731 was owned by Bill Siebenthal in Ohio.   I saw the car at the Nats, about 86-87 and it was for sale then.  At the time, I thought it was a bit rusty.   At least that's what I remember.
