do i have a nickey nova?
 
i bought this 1970 nova about 10 years ago from a kid who didn't care for the car and blew the engine (the oil pan had a leak, not the original engine). and so it sat, he bought a mustang!
so i talked to his dad and we came up with an agreement i would pay him for the car in payments and when it was payed for it was all mine. 2 months later i pushed it across town to my house...it's a big block car, originaly black,bucket saets,4 speed, 12 bolt with power front dick breaks. naturaly the bbc, 12 bolt, 4 speed are long gone. but it dose have the nickey stisker on the bumper. not the trunk lid like i've read in other posts on this site, but it is old, faded and still reflective...
thanks in advance for any info...
i love the site, can't wait for the reunion.

Welcome.
Have you tried looking for any Factory Paperwork for it?
Possibly in the seats/door panels or under the carpet?

I don't know of any '70's, but I know there was at least one '69 Nickey Nova. It was advertised for sale in The Herald, a Chicago newspaper, in early '70 as: '69 NICKEY Nova, Phase III, low miles, $2,850.
