Re: Bill Thomas Fastback Novas ?
 

"GAME"........ No Games.... I asked some very specific questions about the cars. Now I have talked with a REALLY good friend of the late Bill Thomas that got me allot of info on why & how these cars were built including pictures. I have also talked with guys that helped build these cars. Now I know I didn't state this from the get go, but it had NO relevance @ the time. Some guys own Yenkos & want to know everything there is to know. I want to know everything about the FB cars for a reason. For a LONG time everyone thought there was only 1 of 3 cars........... well they were wrong. In fact they were wrong about there being 3 cars. Verne, Thanks for posting the pics. I will continue my search for info on these cars elsewhere.

So please show everybody here how funny you guys can be & feel free to bash me.

Let the games begin............................

Besides the low amount produced what did these cars accomplish on the drag strip against the Fords and Mopars of the time?

Did they win any AHRA/NHRA National/Regional events or majority of the match bash stuff they ran?

Very cool cool cars..just wondering the "provenance" involved with these cars.

I have an old article that the original fi unit installed by b/t was the factory 'vette version. Very understandable that b/t had his own version as well. Neat pics from his catalog.

For the Outer Space poster;

I don't belive the cKc car is in Reading, PA but it is in PA.

If your contribution to this subject is simply that there were 4 cars instead of 3, or 10 instead of 3, or any combination.... this is a very strange way to go about it. And, quite frankly, additional cars being built really won't turn the site on its ear - its interesting but not earth shattering.

We've been dealing with 'nailing down the number' issues for a few decades now, and we've gotten to the point where we all pretty much accept that the record keeping back in the day was haphazard. So, formal lists are nice, but each car speaks for itself - and sometimes they are just as real as the rest, but for their own unique reason(s) were not documented on a list. No biggie.

So, tell us something with substance about the f/back Novas. Give us some awesome pics that we've not seen before. The bar is pretty high, as Milner's daughter came on here a few years ago and hit one outta the park!!

Nice photo Dave.

Re: Bill Thomas Fastback Novas ?
 

Dave - Do you know the owner of that fastback Nova? Bob McClurg is wanting to interview the owner and photograph the car.
