Bill Thomas Chevy II Fastback

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.

I had posted last night as well in a different forum about the Fastback and the Z-11. It's my dad's 70th birthday this weekend so I was doing some searches online about him and that is what brought me here.

Gordon Apker was a long time family friend of ours, we live nearby him. The article that he wrote, that you spoke of, didn't hold much truth as I was told and in the end it ended Apkers and my dad's friendship. Apker is a car collector but he was never a racer. LOL! I'll ask my dad where the car is now as Apker sold it. My dad still knows where it's at.

Today my mom brought over a bunch of pictures of the Fastback and of my dad working on the engine. I could post them later if anyone is interested.

Welcome! ...as mentioned, post whatever photos you can. Here is the other discussion with a bunch of pics:
other yenko.net Chevy II Fastback discussion

What are the earliest pics he has of the Chevy II Fastback? I'd like to know how it was originally received by AG/shipped by Thomas (engine, wheels...). Then AG had the Z-11, Cheetah and the Fatback Chevy II... way cool stuff, neat time. Any Photos of any of those cars would be great to see.

Oh... and give another big Happy Birthday!!!

Hey! The party is today and my good ole dad found out about it through HERE

I tried to play it off but he knows... He wants me to help him register and show him how to post so he can talk with you guys.

Thanks for the other link, I hadn't seen that one. Any others you can come up with would be great!

Paul, my dad wants for me sometime soon to go to the house and sort out all the pictures of the Z-ll and the Fastback, from the beginning to final stages. We're going to post the pictures as he tells the story. He really wants the whole 'true' stories out there.

I got him registered tonight but he kept getting a weird error message. I do see him as the newest registered member on the bottom of the page though, Dick M.
