    I believe this is a very early Funny Car, perhaps the original Funny Car. I saw one like it at the Wally Parks museum in Pomona. It might have been this very car. I think they should have kept this way instead of the fiberglass body. Even more so with the stretched out unrecognizable funny cars of today. Anyway I like it and my arms are tired.
    I have another classic dragster to post next week so you won't want to miss that.

      The front and rear axles were moved forward from the stock location, putting the front wheels directly behind the front fender, and the rear wheels almost under where the rear seat would normally go. This alteration transferred weight to the rear tires, increasing traction on launch. These were described as funny cars. This was the new genre of drag racers in '65.

      Thank you very much Falcon. I had a feeling you would know.
