I have seen this black Nova. Used to belong to a friend of a friend. Definatly a big block,black car. Has a Nickey(faded) dealer sticker on left side of rear bumper. Don't know if it was any more then a 396 though.
Also,thought you might like to see this pic. Had a friend that bought a 427/425 Nova from Nickey. Picture was from Aug. '69. Car was in stock with engine sawp when he bought it. Lost touch of him and car in very early 1970s. Chevelle is another friends 396/375. This same pic was taken shortly after a 427 swap with original heads,cross ram intake,M/T scavenger headers and early L88 cam. |

Re: do i have a nickey nova?
The hood louvers on the Nova look like there from a 69 Camaro,or its just the picture.

Re: do i have a nickey nova?
They look like Camaro louvers to me also. Maybe they were a Nickey addition to add a little something extra to the 427 package. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Looks like the Chevelle is sporting Motion style 68 Impala SS427 emblems on the hood blisters. Definitely a cool period photo. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: do i have a nickey nova?
Motion style ?!?!?! I think Joel used Nickey style badges. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: do i have a nickey nova?
The emblems were 'SS427' on hood and deck lid. You got to remember,reading all the east coast mags(speed/supercar,hi perf cars etc.) gave ideas.My buddy put them on after he swapped engines. That car really ran. Nickey Nova just had headers,header mufflers and a 4.56 gear. Chevelle would pull him easily every time though.I've been trying to find Nova for some time.
