Re: Nickey Z-28 Sold
The disc brake setup was replaced by drums for weight-saving/racing reasons. Here's the writeup from Kevin's website:

The 1969 Nickey Camaro you see here started life as a Z28. It is one of only two Nickey Z28’s to become 427 Camaros. This Camaro -- optioned with an L88 aluminum head 427, a Muncie M22 4-speed, and radio/heater delete -- was heavily modified for the drag strip. It comes complete with all the typical high performance accessories of the day: headers, Mallory ignition, traction bars, heavy-duty clutch, scattershield, flex fan, gauges, Sun tach, Hurst shifter, Hurst shocks, and Goodyear slicks mounted on SS Cragars. Many weight saving modifications were made as well: removal of window track mechanisms, the exchange of drum brakes in place of the disc brakes, in addition to having the “heater delete” option.
