Yes he was a famous builder.
That car is real and an awesome car.

Yep, Bill Thomas used to do conversions out in Southern California. He had some pretty recognizable race cars back in the day as well. I believe one of his early 60's nova race cars was discovered a couple years ago and being restored.

That's awesome, I've never heard of him, but I've heard of the others as far as car fame, Yenko, Baldwin motion, Nickey Chevrolet.

Google him. He's a legend.

Here is one article. I can’t guarentee it’s 100 percent accurate, but it’s worth reading.

He was also famous for the Cheetah...Joe

The car appears to be very nicely done but I didn't see any documentation to Thomas ?
-
Great information, thank you, it's a beautiful car, I love the bench seat deluxe interior and power windows and column shift

I believe there is something. But I don’t think there will be typical invoice type stuff like with a Yenko.
You can contact SMT to ask because I believe that all documentation went with the car. And it was in MCR several years back.
Or if you really need to know, I can ask the previous owner.
I really don’t have a good idea what this car is worth, but the restoration is top notch. Maybe in the $100k to $120k range. Could be more. They just are not that common and they don’t come up for sale very often.

Wasn't Bill Thomas one of the early vendors who supplied the Z28's headers to GM?
-
If the young lady comes with it - I did look through the description and didn't see it noted.. :D I'll have to get busy putting in a bid certainly!
Oh - that car is great looking as well..

actually I'm tired of seeing her on all those Ebay adds,,,just tired of the same old broad in the same pose
