What's the story on this car? What configuration was it sold in when new. I know it was sold new at Nickey, but I'm assuming the 468ci engine was installed at some later date? They said the engine was the last 468 built by Nickey so was it built in '74 and installed then?

The new owner is very happy.

History we have from Don Swiatek was that is was sold as a Stage III 427 to be raced. He inspected the car as found and remembered the car, prior to restoration. The car was missing it’s engine. Don had kept the last 468 engine he personally built from the NicKey Chicago Speed shop on Milwaukee 1974-77. He sold that engine to then owner for the restoration and was involved with technical advice during the process.

The ACME die cast is based on this car.

The car is coming back to Chicago Land and will be on Display at MCACN XII 2020.
