When you think back - how unbelievable that Chrysler actually built these. This was cutting edge technology for 1965 . . . until the following year (1966) when Mercury turned the drag racing world upside down with it's fiberglass lift up body racer.

The first funny cars were Super Stock 1964 Dodge 330 Max Wedges, named the "Dodge Chargers", prepared, at the behest of Don Beebe, by Dragmaster's Jim Nelson and Dode Martin.

It wasn't until 1969 when NHRA created the Funny Car class. Prior to that they would race in FX or SX. Most just raced in match races.
