According to the head of the department that built the hi po cars at Nickey, there were very few consistancies in the transplant cars. The type and/or absence of emblems won't tell you much. Although they would do pretty much whatever the customer wanted, they did not paint the engines yellow as a matter of course. Chevy orange was the norm. The most common items that were consistent were traction bars and electric fuel pumps, although the presence or absence of either doesn't prove anything either. This is why identifying a Nickey car is so difficult. Without documentation and/or inspection & certification by one of the people who actually built these cars, it is impossible to verify a car as a Nickey. Have you tried to get a title search and contact previous owners, or an NICB report showing the dealer of origin? On what were the statements by the previous owner based?
