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

Those Fastback Chevy II's are just wild freaks.

Anyone have a good source on their history?

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 "ban".

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.
