Default Re: 1970 Nova SS 427 Converted at Nickey

leach, I appreciate you posting the car here because maybe besides Stefano & sixtiesmuscle, I bet I am Nickey Chevrolets biggest fan!

The reason I am asking such detailed questions is because I want so badly for a REAL documented Nickey car to surface since they are so rare. It seems like every Nickey car that is unveiled always has afidavids or some other paperwork other than real dealership paperwork to back them up.

One more question, did Don S from Nickey have this car for a whole 5 months? That must have been tough..... (I am assuming that he could not have varified this car just by all of the speed shop paperwork and afidavids that you have because IMO it would be impossible to determine this was a Nickey conversion just by that?????) By the way it seems weird that with all of the recipts that this car came with the most importiant one happens to be missing.....

The original Bill of sales where e-mailed to Mr70 this morning between 2nd owner and 3rd owner so that he could post them if he wanted to just don't want to infringe on privacy laws. The 3rd owner kept every service or parts paper due to his dad being a accountant and the rest I got from the other owners after writing to them. The big packet of paperwork came in the mail after buying the car from the guy who was selling the car for 4th owner.

I sent Don Swaitek every angle picture of the car and it's components from when it came out of storage and when the parts were unbolted off the car for inventory even before they were unbolted and gave him access to the restoration shop where the car was and made copies of everything else I had and turned it all over to him since he is the authority since he was the manager of engine building department.
