Anyone have some old Tradin' times laying around? chicago sales rag...

[black69]

The second owner of my 68 z said the car was advertised in late 75 in a news paper we all read in Chicago to find cars and parts. It was called Tradin times. He said the car was loaded with added on Nickey parts and listed for $5000 back then which was alot, and none of folks in Joliet would ever buy, but the local Bill Jacobs dealer (different but still large like Nickey) bought the cross-ram off it, and likely some other parts to put on one of their cars. Only then was he able to afford it with no intake on the car for example.

He kept the paper for so long until his daughter did some house cleaning and threw it out not too long ago.

Would be cool to see how to get access to those old papers if anyone knew. It was super popular in Chicago. I can't find any archives for it. The original owner raced with Nickey sponsership, wrecked his first 68Z at road america, and then Nickey sold him this car with all the free goodies for the price he sold the cross-ram alone in 75. He just had one condition tied to the deal, to bring it to shows to promote Nickey.

thanks
