Re: HUBERT PLATT's Georgia Shaker III Barn fresh
They were running this.... PLatt's son or nephew was running a replica of the fastback Dixie twister.

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

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? |

Anyone have a good source on their history? |
Re: HUBERT PLATT's Georgia Shaker III Barn fresh
Goods eyes Paul! Thanks for the info!

Re: HUBERT PLATT's Georgia Shaker III Barn fresh
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.

Re: HUBERT PLATT's Georgia Shaker III Barn fresh
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". The 3+ cars hit the drags and over time (most?) went to solid rear axle, altered wheelbase, ...
