It was in primer and had an injected big block in it. And I have no idea what happened to it, I never saw it again.

Can you remember anymore details about the fastback Nova, any traces of old paint, any other body modifications, what type of mag wheels were on it, etc.

Nope, too many years gone by. It was gray primer with no hood scoop and injector stacks through the hood.

If I had to take a guess, I would say that the car I saw was this one. It did have a straight axle and it had a 65 grille in it.

It has the 65 SS only side moldings,and wheel opening moldings.the molding behind the rear wheel looks to be stretched also.The early funny cars had to be at least a 65 model ,so may be they changed a 63 to a 65 with the trim.
