I commented on the 1st thread on the car here:

Here is what I wrote below. It seems it would have been worth it to include some of the ques that tipped people off on it being Nickey in the first place.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I don't get this restoration. I can't see anything uniquely Nickey. Modern bars, summit cover, stock type air cleaner. The car seems conflicted on what is supposed to represent. There are none of the special aftermarket tuning equipment commonly used by Nickey on the car.
If this was just a motor swap deal I don't get it. The story is that the original owner kept getting beat with his L78. Probably wasn't much of a wrench then. Paid for a 427 engine swap and a paint job and then what?
The car may have true history, but the way it's presented isn't really flattering the car. </div></div>
