Kevin is the '73 Nickey Nova the same one featured in a 1973 issue of Hot Rod? I don't recall the exact issue, but believe there is a cop on the cover standing next to the car.

Awesome collection of cars you have. I have been to your site many times over the past year or so looking at the cars. I enjoy reading the history on the cars as much as looking at the pictures...thanks for sharing your collection with us.

Kevin,
Congrats on your new cars. I think that the Nickey Z is really neat, many of the guys that come to the track (that I work at) are focusing in on doing more "period correct" restos, meaning if the car was set up originally to be a drag car, they restore it by building it as a drag car. Jerry MacNeish was just over with us at RP this weekend with Dave Strickler's "Old Reliable" '68 Z28 running the car in NHRA Stock Eliminator and people just get really excited to see the car doing what it was originally built for. I think that having the Nickey Z restored the way it was is the right idea. Jerry ran a 11.19 in the quarter and was the fastest first gen Z there. Hey Jerry was wearing a "Super Car Workshop" T-shirt, he is a Brian Henderson fan. Andrew ![]() |

Had a busy weekend with car show. I'll respond to all in one post here. Ratpack and Belair Bob, yes it is crab fishing in the Bering Sea. There are several documentaries on the Discovery Channel in which you can see glimpses of a couple of my boats in the background. My boats are between 116' and 138' in length. It is listed as the #1 most dangerous occupation, and I can relate to that just feeling lucky to be alive today. I could type pages of stories on this, but this is a car web site and talking about cars is more pleasurable.
Chevy454 and COPO Charlie, the Nickey Nova was Reggie's previously. Not on the cover of the 73 Hot Rod magazine though, as that one was orange with black vinyl top. Sixtiesmuscle Mike got it from Reggie, and Mike is whom I got the Nickey Camaro and Nova from. Mike was the Nickey "King" having 4 Nickeys at one time. He was kind enough to let loose of these two. he had some other new acquistions and out of room. Thanks Mike! I'll try to reciprocate some day. To everyone else, I as well as Denis the "web master" appreciate the positive comments on the website. Kevin |
