Default Re: 70 1/2 Z28 from Nickey

Some of the history is mentioned at the begining of the thread. The original owner lived and worked close to Nickey Chevrolet and the car was set up to be a street racer.

It also has 4.56 gears which were installed by Nickey.

The second owner bought the car in the late '70s/early '80s.

His Grandfather's store, on Milwaukee Ave in Chicago was across the street from where the car was parked on a daily basis.

The second drove it home, had the clutch changed becuase it was too high pressure/effort parked the car in Mom's heated garage and never drove or moved the car until we pulled it out of the garage over 20 years later?

It is a very serious LT1. The car was restored and painted Red with Black stripes. The L88 style hood and torque thrust D's were installed during the resto as well as a few other minor additions.

It is featured on the current Chevy Vette Fest T-Shirt.
