Welcome.
Have you tried looking for any Factory Paperwork for it?
Possibly in the seats/door panels or under the carpet?

I don't know of any '70's, but I know there was at least one '69 Nickey Nova. It was advertised for sale in The Herald, a Chicago newspaper, in early '70 as: '69 NICKEY Nova, Phase III, low miles, $2,850.

I have seen this black Nova. Used to belong to a friend of a friend. Definatly a big block,black car. Has a Nickey(faded) dealer sticker on left side of rear bumper. Don't know if it was any more then a 396 though.
Also,thought you might like to see this pic. Had a friend that bought a 427/425 Nova from Nickey. Picture was from Aug. '69. Car was in stock with engine sawp when he bought it. Lost touch of him and car in very early 1970s. Chevelle is another friends 396/375. This same pic was taken shortly after a 427 swap with original heads,cross ram intake,M/T scavenger headers and early L88 cam.
