Old Funny Car Pictures...Let's See Em!!!

Great thread!!!!

 

Bob Steele, passed away about a year and half ago.

 

I think the yellow car is more of an altered than a funny car, the red one is the first funny car I ever saw as a kid.

 

The Pegasus Cougar was unearthed last year...

McInk is my hero...more, please!

 

That is cool I wonder what happen to all the old cougar funny cars? It seems like you never see any of them now.

 

Hardcore no ear protection and literally within a foot or two....

 

What!!!!

Ed Pike used to be right by my house, a car dealer, I had no idea he did something like that. Pretty damn cool cougar.

 

that thing is wild I had never seen it before.

 

Is this the one you're talking about? Dunno where I got it, but I probably stole it from you....

 

More Satelites!

Dale Boomgaarden in a Mike Ditty photo. I dig stack injectors, too!

 

Tim Beebe in the Fighting Irish...way cool. Unknown photog.

 

Jus' yer basic Mustang. Didn't all of them come with Allison's???

From Funny Car Pictorial #2.

 

The first picture is a 77 Monza, Roland Leong car.

Which has survived to be this currently running nostalgia funny car.

 

One more in the bet-John-Force-wouldn't-paint-his-car-like-this department. (Yeah, that's a Slashdot reference...)

Lil John Lombardo's Challenger from the book "Fabulous Funny Cars".

 

Does anyone remember (or have pics) of a Mustang funny car with an Allison V12 motor? It was called "Iron Horse", and I remember it from a Car Craft or Hot Rod in the early 70's.

Not old pics but still..................

 

the '65 ford galaxie was built by the owner of the service center speed shops, sheldon konblatt. his cars were always out of left field, but thats what made the '60's funny cars interesting. imho

The Ford LTD of Kornblatt was purchased from an advertising compnay who used it in a Ford commercial. It was a fibberglass shell that was used as a mock up of a real sedan, and then placed atop a rock platue in the desert. Alas, Kornblatt was later fatally injured in his 2nd flopper, the Snoopy Jaguar
