and Jack Stephani, Nickey Chevrolet became one of the largest factory dealerships, specializing in high performance muscle car sales and services.
Because of their rarity, many of these dealer-modified cars are maintained in museums or private collections and are rarely seen in public.
The new speed shop and automobile conversion centre was named "Nickey Chicago", and closed in 1977.
In 2002, a muscle car collector and enthusiast, Stefano Bimbi, purchased the legal rights and trademarks for the Nickey brand.
The new company, Nickey Performance, now located at 6927 N Alpine Road in Loves Park, Illinois, builds, sells, and services vehicles branded as Nickey Super Cars, and has also taken steps to establish a registry for Nickey-modified cars.
