They were running this.... PLatt's son or nephew was running a replica of the fastback Dixie twister.

That was in a magazine not too long ago. Unbelievable find!

[Salvatore]

Great Falcon FXer. saw it run at Vargo Dragway a couple times. Huston was the &quot;chevy guy&quot; in the family. Piece of history!

Wow! Thanks for the pics James ... TAZ

[markinnaples]

GREAT PICS, thanks!

LOVE the fastback Nova!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

firstgenaddict, you mentioned it was a replica.

DW31S, you mentioned it was in a magazine and a great find.

What magazine and who owned it before the Dixie Twister replica?

[Paul_S]

Think they mean the Falcon. Recently found and in a mag.

The Fastback is neat but appears to be built from a Hardtop (not convertible) with a too steep rear window with roof &quot;trails&quot; on the trunk lid. Originals roof was a straight line to the end of the trunk lid. Very fluid.

Any more pics of &quot;Sour Kraut&quot;? Engine? Looks good.

[markinnaples]

Those Fastback Chevy II's are just wild freaks.

Anyone have a good source on their history?

[mssl72]

Goods eyes Paul! Thanks for the info!

[firstgenaddict]

Thanks for the info PAul, I knew something didn't look quite right about it, I talked to them for a little while however I had failed to remember to ask if they used a coupe.

[Paul_S]

Search on here for Fastback info as there was a lot of talk a while ago, mainly the Alan Green car. They were originally meant for road racing with all their mods: lightweight fiberglass where possible, front suspension geometry changes, big brakes, rear Corvette suspension, engine set-back... but as the story goes this changed after the GM '63 &quot;ban&quot;. The 3+ cars hit the drags and over time (most?) went to solid rear axle, altered wheelbase, ...
