Because it's not. The fastback sail windows are too big, flat, and plain. The lines of them don't match the other lines of the car. They make it difficult to work in the engine bay. They look dated. They are no longer in production and the best replacements are expensive and do not fit perfectly. The shorty concept fastback solves all of those problems and could be done to either original fastbacks or notchbacks. When it seems that so many people want to change from notchback to fastback, and change fastback sail windows to something non-stock, it is clear that Pontiac did not achieve perfection in their design. I think the shorty fastback version is so good that I am no longer interested in finding an ASPP GT40 kit.

I agree. I never cared for gold wheels but I have seen a couple on here that are sweet and now I want them.

Stock wheels, black mirrors and trim... Just the way I like it.

I do need to replace the bad aftermarket sail windows (No, not going to shorten them).

I'm not sure - but at the present time I already have a pair of good ones waiting to go on. I just need to work up the gumption to pry the ones off I have on there now.

I constantly look through this thread for inspiration for my car. I'd love to see some more new pics of good looking fastbacks !

I love that car. I think it be safe to say it will be up there with Troy,Curly,and only a handful of others that are out there when completed. I'm thinking when yours is done you wont have to take a back seat to no one Tony.

I agree. There's one little thing I think could have made it even better: A seam between the front end and the fenders.

Not the best, but what heck.

I guess I never thought about spacing them out more. Is purely for looks?

Just came home and snapped this pix in the garage...

I know this thread is about the "best looking fastback" but we cannot forget about this very cool stretch.
