1970 Nickey Nova

[Postsedan]

I have seen many and know many Chicago Area Muscle Cars......but it`s always neat to see one I have never seen before.

The current owner is the second owner of this Nickey Nova, he purchased it in 1973 from the original owner. Original owner is still alive today. A real Shadow Gray paint Nova. Even the wheels are still the same wheels as purchased in 1973.

Not too many 17-17 Code Shadow Gray Nova`s out there......if this is a Real Nickey Nova....I`d say it`s safe to say it`s the ONLY Shadow Gray Nickey Nova.

SO COOL!

Neat..looks good with those wheels...couldn't quite read the cowl tag date..thinking it might be an early car with those T-clips holding the radiator flap....most 70's have the buttons. Or maybe they were changed at some point??

wilma

[Postsedan]

Date is 02C.

cool machine

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Thanks for the Nova pics Dan,always good to see Novas.Looks like a nice car.My survivor 70 BB is a 01C built car with the plastic buttons holding the flap down.I find it interesting with the T-clips also.

[Mr70]

That car & owner come to Downers Grove a lot.

[Salvatore]

that is a nice car! Would be even nicer if the owner would clean it up a little. Nova's get no respect!

[Stefano]

Sam, cut the guy some slack......at least he's driving it.

The story is that he purchased the car from a NicKey Chevrolet Mechanic in 1976-77 for $1,800.00 againts and asking price of $2,200.00. He said the mechanic also had a '73 SD TA, and one toy had to go. He also said that the car is very much like he purchased it back then.

[Salvatore]

I always admire people that drive their cars no matter how nice or how expensive they are. No lawn ornaments is my opinion.

[MosportGreen66]

Is this a Nickey sold car or a Nickey modified car?

[Stefano]

Don't have the answer to either of those questions, at this point.

[ORIGLS6]

Cool car either way.

Love Shadow Gray: Love the wheels &amp; Red Stripes: No frills, understated equipment: ....... That car KICKS!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

They had 'Phases' for their Novas didn't they, like a Phase I, II or III? I have an old advertisement for someone selling a '69 Nickey Nova Phase III

[Schonyenko2]

Cool piece. Had a friend who bought a SS 350 shadow grey Nova new in 70. Traded it for a 69 Vette and wrecked it.

He had ET mags on it. Very underrated color.

We have a Nickey sold 69 SS 396 Chevelle in the shop now. Will try to have pics posted.

Stage I, II and III. Phases were the other guys on the East Coast.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Got it, IIRC the ad does say 'Stage'....

Someone keeps deleting my messages I would rather they just tell me what im doing wrong.

This is a thread about a Nickey Nova, but I'm interested in your rear. How much do you want for it?

[Fast67VelleN2O]

He wanted $5,000 for a 1970 Nova CBT rear

I posted this 12/73 Nickey Nova ad w/ link in the Nova Supercars thread but thought best land it here too.
Considering year/options/color + location also '73 when original owner set it free, it's likely this subject car.
:beers:
