Brian, that sounds pretty good, I'd like one of those Super Car Tees. How do I go about getting one. On the Nickey Drag car as you, Andrew, and others asked about; I'll type what I know about it. It is still on the original Nickey MSO and was never titled for the street. It's only use of course, was the Drag Strip. Don Swiatek who was the head Nickey's Hi-Performance Department inspected this car to verify it. To the best of his knowledge, he only recalled 2 Z28 427 L88 cars; this one which ended up in Pennsylvania and another that went to Nova Scotia. Mike restored it keeping it in Drag Strip trim pretty much as it was. Radio-Heater delete and the car was lightened up with removal of wiper motors assemlby, discs to drum brakes, even window track assemblies removed, etc. The window tracks were put back in though. All the period correct performance equipment such headers, mallory ignition, flex fan, etc, were repeated. Frame connectors are still on it, as they were installed very sanitary without chopping into the floor. Have one vintage photo of the car leaving the line at Maple Grove Dragway with the front tires a few inches in the air.
