Default Re: Nickey corvette??

Back in the late 80's a local fellow by the name of Tom Kelly had a maroon/black 1968 L89 Corvette coupe here in Austin. This car was a documented Nickey car as per the zone and dealer information on the tank sheet. Tom and I tried to come up with an address for Nickey so he could make a reproduction window sticker. We had one heck of a time finding the address of the dealership back then. Tom moved to Phoenix and I haven't heard from him since. It was a cool car that I got a chance to drive a number of times.
Tom drag raced this stock L89 against a stock L88 and won two of three races. This was written up in some magazine in the mid 80's.
Anyone remember the article? It was definitely a Nickey L89.
