Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback

Just wanted to add some additional information to STEFANO's post about the Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback car. If you are fortunate enough to come across one, pick yourselves up a copy of the February 1964 issue of Speed and Custom magazine. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only original article I've seen written about these cars when Bill Thomas still had them in his possession. Although the article is only three pages long, it's still great to have just for the information and the photograph's. Truly unique cars!

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............. ...........

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.

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.
