You are right Joe. I see it now. The white block wall. I would say circa 1966. That is supposed to be the first true funny car. Great photo!

Anyone have any photos of Dover Dragstrip, upstate NY. I used to go there in the old days. Lot's of guys there running "mountain motors". You know, a few more cubes than the sticker said!!

Hey Verne, Is that nova, Wally Lynn's car used to belong to a guy named Al Caffey. Al Caffey was from Philly and used to be sponsored by Hanks Speed Shop in Berwyn, Pa. The car, wheel wells, and straight front axle looks just like his car. Even the Ford bubble on the hood is the same. Originally painted orange.
