68imp, the car in NW Ohio is from a Toledo suburb. The owner, can't remember his name, is the service manager at a import car dealer in Sylvania, OH. The car is a 427 but is not a Nickey. The owner told me that he bought the Nickey decals at a Super Chevy event. He never represents the car as a Nickey. The car is super nice a real joy to look at.

If I remember correctly Jim's 67 Nickey was sold with a L88 and still has 350 emblems on the fenders. The block is painted yellow and I have heard of other Nickey cars that were sold with yellow painted motors. I made a note from an article on the Nickey cars that stated there were about 300 427 transplant cars sold between 1967 and 1969. The article stated Nickey was owned by Edward and John Stephani. I do not know if this info is correct but the writer seemed to know about the Nickey dealership.

Not much known other than what was printed in the dealer brochure from Nickey. Cars could have been ordered with anything from a 350 - 454. Only one person in the US can identify a Nickey car and from what I am told it is very hard and expensive..............RatPack..........

I have an ad showing that 2nd gen Nickey. Looks to have wheel flares and If I remember correctly, it was an RS sans the bumpers. And as stated above was available with numerous engine options. I wonder if they made a few w/ these body mods.

L72copo,sorry for the misinformation.But I do recall seeing ``Nickey built 427 Impala``next to a photo of the car a few years back in Super Chevy.Awesome car though with the black paint,small hub caps,blackwall tires.Sort of a ``Dirty Mary crazy Larry``special but with two doors instead of four.
