I wish someone had some pictures at one of the tracks in the Chicago area of this car racing would really help.

He would like to find out which decal might have left this 3 foot long impression.

Didn't MSR just use their logo ???

[CTChevelle]

There was a picture in an old magazine or racing paper that had a Nova in it with MSR on the front fender in this area. I don't remember what mag. or year, but think it was the early 70's.

As I remember the MSR decals, they had their logo (which I think looked like three black squiggly lines) followed by the words "motor sport research" all in lower case letters.

It would be nice if someone has a copy of that picture in the racing book or magazine.

leach,

Cool Car but with all of the postings on it I am still confused as to EXACTLY what paperwork does this car have to support the fact that it is a Nickey conversion in the sense that would make it a supercar. Don't take this the wrong way but because a car had engine work at Nickey does not consitute it as a supercar. IN MY OPINION a car that was prepared as a 427 street racer and sold new that way would make it a true supercar. There could maybe some exceptions like a guy buys a Nova at some other dealer and imediately takes it to Nickey and has it converted within the first couple of months, but even that borders a grey area IMO. Other than that to consider a car a supercar because it had an engine added to it some time later in it's life by Nickey would just make it a cool day 2 Nova.

I don't mean any disrespect, just trying to find out what you are considering this car or have docs to back it up as.
