Re: Nickey Z28s
[ QUOTE ]
I will be getting together with the "Guys" sometime soon and will try to get more info.
I know that both Don Swiatek and Ronnie Kaplan said that they would like to try and make the Fall Vette Fest, especially since it is so close to home for them.
That would be an ideal time to have them field some questions about those Z28s, as well as other Nickey Cars, ect.

It really would be good to be able to get as many stories as possible from these guys before they are gone. I have interviewed several of the guys who were drivers or owners on the list of the first 25 Z-28s built. I'd love to be able to add as much as possible on the high-profile dealers like Nickey and Yenko and hopefully this will all make it into a book for all to enjoy.
Attached is an ad from Nickey circa July '67 advertising racing engines for sale. I know that Ken Deckman bought a Marina Blue Z-28 through Alan Green Chevrolet in Seattle in March '67 and he had Nickey do his 302 engine for him as he was going to Trans-Am race the car.
