Default Re: fastback chevy II

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.
