PRESERVICATION

WHILE THE FOX-PLATFORM MUSTANG of the ’80s and ’90s has been popular for quite a while now, the third-generation Camaro of the same period hasn’t encountered the same level of interest. A few have been turned into homebrew hot rods, for sure, but for the most part, the 1982-’92 Camaro has faded from the scene. Though not for much longer, we’ll bet.

Stefano Bimbi, head of the revived, fabled Nickey Performance (well known for making hot Chevrolets even hotter in the ’60s) in Loves Park, Illinois, is quick to point out that this is far from the first LS-swapped third-gen. We will add to that, however, that it’s one of the nicest LS-swapped third-gens you’ll see. Owner Jeff Clark, a retired AP Biology teacher, agrees. Nickey, he says, “just does really good work.”
