Re: 1970 Nova SS 427 Converted at Nickey
[ QUOTE ]
Thanks Stefano  Looks like it was Stage instead of Phase, but same concept. [/ QUOTE ] Remember Marlin that Motion didn't, in fact, have other 'phases'...just Phase III. It was either "Motion Modified" or the "Phase III". I've never seen specifics as to what denotes Phase III badging other than the 1/4 mile promise but JoeG may have some input on that. This is the 1st time I've seen 'stage' packages advertised for Nickey cars. That's interesting news to me. -Mark H.

Re: 1970 Nova SS 427 Converted at Nickey
The one guy was from Chicago, the other Granville and the first I don't know because he is the one who died in the elevator shaft fire building the Sears tower and sold to the 2nd owner.

Re: 1970 Nova SS 427 Converted at Nickey
Sorry the guy lived in Roselle, Ill. the strret was Granville I have sent an e-mail to 2nd owner because he said he went to the funeral for the first owner but the last time I talked to him he said that it was 35 years ago and all he remembers about that friend of his at that time was that his nickname was either banana or wrecker could not remember his last name but I will ask again sure would like to find out.

Re: 1970 Nova SS 427 Converted at Nickey
Just got done talking to Chief Engineer of the Sears Tower and he said that the name of the Elevator company where the people who died building it was Westinghouse and he thought there was a guy still working with him who might have more info and will get back to me.
