Any of you Texas guys remember this one? Might be one of the original 3 that had the Z11 427 engine installed, also may have become the Dixie Twister of Huston Platt??

This might not be an AMC Matador, but a much cooler name for a car [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

That is a very INTERESTING looking nova,I have never seen or heard of one like this,I remember the old matador because we had a family friend that was a mechanic for a amc dealership and he owned a matador and one of those marlins.From the info posted on the makeup of this vehicle it sounds like it might have been a pretty quick car.You guys keep posting things like this I learn something from this site every day!!Items like this are verey interesting to all car buffsI would think.

bbdon;
Since you are the expert on old mag. articles [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] how many articles were written on the '63 B.Thomas Chevy II's? Which ones were they? I have spoken with Wayne Bushey of NNN and Larry Davis the Super Stock book auther, and I don't think anyone has done a registry for the 3 427 cars or the 9+/- 327 cars. I'm thinking about starting a registry for them in order to consolidate info on the operation. I didn't realize the orig. intention for that project was a racing series in England equivalent to the SCCA!

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I do have lots of magazines, maybe too many.
The article that I posted before is the only one I have about the fastback Novas. And this post has all I can find right now about all other Bill Thomas Chevy IIs. If anyone knows the date and title of any other articles about these unique Novas, please share.

Re: Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback
 

Found another pic of a Fastback Bill Thomas car. The caption said that it is the ex-Allen Green car, with the front end lengthened with chicken wire and bondo! I have seen some pics of this car within the last few years, and I don't believe the front end is 'altered' any more.
