Pop out the side and rear glass, torch cut the rear pillars and pull them down six inches. Re-weld the roof down, replace the glass with plexiglass. Add a full sized belly pan to the underside. You can extend the tail a bit while you are in there.

I guess you could add a kammback top to any notch back coupe as they do with pick up trucks. GM did it, back in the day.

During the 80s, NASCAR made a resurgence, but the cars were all about as aerodynamic as bricks. Ford made a calculated decision to introduce the newly revised aerodynamic Thunderbird to the speedways with great success. This prompted GM to heavily modify two of their squared off personal luxury cars to do battle with the slippery bird. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe was modified from the standard Monte Carlo SS with the addition of a fastback window, and a shorter deck lid. The Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 went a bit further, with an even larger fastback window, a smaller deck lid, and an aerodynamic nose treatment. But are these true fastbacks?
