Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback

Wow, talk about bizarre. Looks like a AMC Matador on some kind of steroid. I notice there were pretty much no safety devices installed (maybe just hadn't been yet), but those "fiberglass racing seats" still look like they are from someones kitchen set. The things that you could do back in the day.

Nonetheless, what a cool, wild ride... must be where "sit down, shut up, and hold on" came from...

Thanks bbdon for posting the article and thanks copo9566aa for the information on the March 66 Car Craft article. I was missing the issue from my Car Craft collection and now I have all the more reason to hunt one down.

Any of you Texas guys remember this one? Might be one of the original 3 that had the Z11 427 engine installed, also may have become the Dixie Twister of Huston Platt??

This might not be an AMC Matador, but a much cooler name for a car [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

That is a very INTERESTING looking nova,I have never seen or heard of one like this,I remember the old matador because we had a family friend that was a mechanic for a amc dealership and he owned a matador and one of those marlins.From the info posted on the makeup of this vehicle it sounds like it might have been a pretty quick car.You guys keep posting things like this I learn something from this site every day!!Items like this are verey interesting to all car buffsI would think.
