Notchback, any day anytime. Fastbacks look like a rip off from Mustangs. Sorry. I have a '68 Notch, and yeah, I'm prejudice, however I had my choice when I got mine. If I wanted a "Fastback" I would have gone to the Ford camp. Convertibles second.

   great pics thanks!!!
i like the way the trunk line comes up to the rear window on the Fastback, they are pretty simple and the fastback roof looks right, spices it up and helps the proportions,.. very graceful, the grill reminds me alot of the Pontiac GTOs of the same year '67,.. the notchroof looks goofy to my eye...  :scope:
  a few yrs back a coworker had an extreamly cherry and bone stock original notchback white/black 318 console car he sold for $3,200,.. I just wasn't into it enuff to take it on... if it was a fastback i would have probably bought it myself...

i'd like more pics please...  :drool5:

so Bull, what are your plans/ideas?.. perhaps a photoshop rendering?.. eh?.  :shruggy:


I'm just thinking out loud. I recently found a notchback on a side road here in Portland that I thought I might make a play for but then my opinion on the matter changed recently. I think seeing this car really changed it for me. I like the colors, stripes and the rake. I wish I could own it. :yesnod:

Fastback.  Definitely fastback.  A buddy and I did have a notchback dirt track once but if I were to buy one for the street I'd look for a fastback or droptop.

I believe those pics were swiped from the Hamtramck-historical site from the 2003 Mopar European Nationals show.

even normally Britain license plates are yellow, the longer number ones look to be Britanic and shorter numbers Aussie.

however all could it be really Aussie since as Far I know Chrylser didn't have assembly plant on GB, for a while Australlia does or did, all A bodies plattform, and those 2nd gen Barracudas are A bodies.

I did swipe them, heh, here is the link, I found again, yes, you are right, it does say Mopar European Nationals, the site has a few other pics from other places,  here are a couple from usa, do the Europeans have some nicer ones in the site?

first one is  Mopar At Thunder Mountain - May 7, 2006 - Bandimere Speedway,
second one is Ketchikan, Alaska, November 16th, 2006

Here is the website for Hamtrack with all the photos,

This movie sealed it for me - the fast back in all its glory was really amazing on screen - its a shame they went through three of them and all the spare hoods, fenders, and doors in the northeast to make the movie. You can always judge a car by the way it still looks great even after its been busted up and in a few car chases - Bullit Charger, Vanishing Point challenger, Mad Max Falcon, and Highwaymen Barracuda

To me, when done up right, the Fastback looks Fast just sitting still.
