Technical Question for the Chevy II guy's?

I believe this one is a clone

 

Clones are cool, very few can afford the originals, especially when they are limited and rare. HRP

 

Damn, I want to see that please let us know if you find the thread.

Wow, look at a thread about fastback Novas and find much about fastback Falcons! Thanks for posting that. very interesting!

 

No thread, I saw it on FB

 

"In 1964, Bill Thomas Race Cars built a total of four fiberglass Chevy II fastbacks for GM to race in the SCCA B/Production class. These cars were equipped with a Corvette independent rear end, huge drum brakes and fuel tank, fully adjustable front suspension, and a Rochester fuel-injected 327 Corvette small-block V-8 engine. Unfortunately, the SCCA refused to homologate these cars, and they were never run. A close friend of ours, Dick Harrell, got our foot in the door, and we paid Bill Thomas Race Cars $2,500 for one of these Chevy II fastbacks."

For the sake of accuracy, it should be noted that Chevrolet drag racers Dick Milner from Seattle, Washington's Alan Green Chevrolet, and Atlanta, Georgia's Houston Platt purchased and converted two of the remaining three Bill Thomas Chevy II fastbacks into match racer stockers, while the fourth car was rumored to have actually been converted into a street car, and is in the hands of a collector.


.The Huston Platt car known as the Dixie Twister is still running with the Southeast Gassers. HRP

 

A friend of mine built a panel delivery Nova from a 4 dr. wagon. He told me Chevy never even built a 2 dr. wagon, let alone a sedan delivery. Those around are all customs.

 

They should have built this one, the slanted door post match's what was originally the back door.


To me it seems they may have used a two door post door which appears longer.

John, I think your right. the 2 door does have a longer door than the station wagon.HRP

 

I have a 66 two door wagon that I just finished recently. You are correct on the door size. The two door car doors are 10'' longer than the wagon front door. When you add the longer door, you have to remove the same amount from the front of the rear door area. I personally think the door glass looks too pinched when the B pillar matches the rear pillar. Also don't care for the divider in the side glass. I have a one-piece side glass from the B pillar to the rear, 65'' long. I would love to post a pic but I'm one year too new.
