Good info Alex. Those talented and energetic Ramchargers were definitely pushing the envelope. "The First Funny Car" reference to Dick's car is not literal. My understanding is it just happened that the announcer at the track coined the unique look as such altho other "funny" looking cars had preceded it including the Ramcharger boys. Dick was really starting to push the rules beyond the "2%" as the year went on. Anyway, its all great history and this car speaks to me! Wouldn't mind having one of the 2% cars either!
