LOVE the fastback Nova!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

firstgenaddict, you mentioned it was a replica.

DW31S, you mentioned it was in a magazine and a great find.

What magazine and who owned it before the Dixie Twister replica?

Any more pics of &quot;Sour Kraut&quot;? Engine? Looks good.

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 &quot;ban&quot;. The 3+ cars hit the drags and over time (most?) went to solid rear axle, altered wheelbase, ...
