I meant to say that I thought I read about the saved Fastback on Rabbit's board. Thomas did have the engine set back with the firewall/cowl cut to clear and Allen Green had moved the rear forward later but yes, they definitely stretched the front end 8-10" and maybe even squeaked the engine back farther. I guess they didn't bother with the hood. Here's another of the Dixie Twister:

Actually, the Alan Green fastback is in Steve Statham's book entitled 'Nova SS'. The current owners name is in there too, but don't recall who it is. This car was also for sale in Hemmings several years ago. It was priced over my capabilities, but I tried to convince my friend Don Fezell to buy it, he declined

I have an ad of the Dixie Twister for sale, I'll see if I can scan it and post it.

Wait a minute.. that was the Allen Green car!? I remember the ad and still have the page from Hemmings that I tore out, it was in there a few times. If it was the Allen Green car it had been restored to "stock" (not completed). -The rear axle/wheelbase and body are in the original locations. The ad stated all original lightweight fiberglass and didn't mention it's prior specific history. Yeah, I have that book. Also, I had asked one guy about the 3 cars having Mystery 427s and he didn't believe it. -aah... what's his face writing for the fairly new Chevy Rumble mag. He said he and a bunch of other people would have been down there with their cameras if it were true. The early mag articles don't give a hint to what was published in the Nova SS book. I still don't think the book was quite correct on Chevrolet's involvement on the building of the 'glass pieces, I think it was mainly Thomas and his contacts, but I really don't know. It would be cool if they were Chevy built but??? -anybody? I have pics on my computer from the book but I'll have to tweak them before posting.

Yup, I had noticed that a while ago and almost forgot about it. I saved all the pics. I bet it's going in the "white" car from the Hemmings ad. That would be sooo cool to see that car run.
