Re: 1975 Nickey Corvette 454/450hp
I believe Sam Venti may have owned that car.

Re: 1975 Nickey Corvette 454/450hp
I recently bought the car I think is being referred to here. 1975 Corvette convertible w/ crate 454/460 Miglia Red, believed to be a Nickey car. Will be trying to verify that soon. It did not originally come from Nickey but supposedly was taken there for engine install shortly after purchase. I do have the stack of paperwork mentioned, including the original window sticker. Car now has 10k miles on it. Had to have the a/c charged and it's nice and cold now. Car runs and looks great. I think I'm going to enjoy this one.

Re: 1975 Nickey Corvette 454/450hp
----Its my understanding that Nickey Chevrolet closed its doors (as Nickey) in 1973. If so it would have been hard for a 1975 Corvette to have had a Nickey engine transplant in 1975. The car does, however, sound like a lot of fun.....Bill S

Re: 1975 Nickey Corvette 454/450hp
Nickey Chevrolet became Keystone Chevrolet at the begining of 1974.
The Nickey Chicago speed shop and Super Car builder continued to build and market "Nickey" Cars until they closed for business in 1977. |
