The "Purple People Eater" Corvette (one of them) is alive and well in the hands of Chip Miller. I have seen it twice, it is beautiful. Jeffords is still alive also. I bet you the car and driver will be united at the Vintage Races in Monterey this year. The Corvette will be honored at Monterey and there will be a number of rare road racers present. He may be able to answer some questions about the early days of Nickey.
The trouble is that these guys are just swamped at events like this. There was a four hour wait to visit with Jim Hall last year at Road America.
