Custom Hearse Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) See if you can figure it out who it is driving this rear engine funny car.... John Force’s first funny car was a major flop. Not only was "The Night Stalker" a rear engined car, but the engine was mounted sideways. John and Louie Force purchased the Mustang from Jack Chrisman. Chrisman had built the car but never raced it. The car’s weak point was the chain drive. Irwindale starter Larry Sutton was so tired of being hit with chain links, he had John banned from the track. The car had a SOHC 427 Ford to begin with, but a Chrysler Hemi took its place. The car later became the "Cop Patrol," but still was unsuccessful.

Scott H. Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Would that happen to be one of "Jungle" Jim Lieberman's old cars? -Scott H.
