Thanks Marlin
the car look more "altered" on this pictures.
What's year this pictures was it taken ??

Re: Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback
 

After comparing the pic of the yellow II vs. the red II, I think the rear q/panels were also altered on the yellow II. They look quite a bit longer than those on the red II. I am having doubts that this yellow II is the ex-Allen Green car, but stranger things have happened. I'm thinking it's actually the red II from Fritz Collier. Unless Bill Thomas redid the molds and made a stretched version!

Marlin, the 1/4's haven't been stretched but the rear wheels have been moved forward about 8-10". Look at the picture of the Allen Green car, the front of the rear wheel opening is in line with the back edge of the 1/4 window. Then on the yellow car it is back about 6" from the front of the window and door at the bottom........................RatPack............. ...........

Re: Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback
 

My dad, Dick Milner, was the driver of the Alan Green Chevy 11 Fastback, the green colored car, here in the Northwest.

I know these posts were from years ago but did someone have a question about it- I can ask him? The car is still around, the only one out of the 3 made. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

The cKc car is existing as well. The car your dad raced was in Hemmings around '98 or so, priced at $45k - I really wanted that car! Is the AG car still in Apker's area, or did it go long distance? Gordon is referenced in the NOVA SS book by Steve Statham, along with pics of the car as a primered shell.

Re: Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback
 

I had posted last night as well in a different forum about the Fastback and the Z-11. It's my dad's 70th birthday this weekend so I was doing some searches online about him and that is what brought me here.

Gordon Apker was a long time family friend of ours, we live nearby him. The article that he wrote, that you spoke of, didn't hold much truth as I was told and in the end it ended Apkers and my dad's friendship. Apker is a car collector but he was never a racer. LOL! I'll ask my dad where the car is now as Apker sold it. My dad still knows where it's at.

Today my mom brought over a bunch of pictures of the Fastback and of my dad working on the engine. I could post them later if anyone is interested.

Re: Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback
 

Welcome! ...as mentioned, post whatever photos you can. Here is the other discussion with a bunch of pics:
other yenko.net Chevy II Fastback discussion

What are the earliest pics he has of the Chevy II Fastback? I'd like to know how it was originally received by AG/shipped by Thomas (engine, wheels...). Then AG had the Z-11, Cheetah and the Fatback Chevy II... way cool stuff, neat time. Any Photos of any of those cars would be great to see. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Oh... and give another big Happy Birthday!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
