6bblbird Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Not sure if I ever posted this car here. Lost the photos for a long time do to the hosting site shutting down. I recently found that I had the pics on an old phone and I recovered them.😀 I always loved this car. It was the only road runner Funny Car that I know of. It was certainly not very aerodynamic but it did hold the NHRA speed record for a time in 1969. I tried to use a resin body at first but it just didn't look quite right. The johan body was perfect. Tin and chassis are from the parts box. I was ecstatic to get the photos back but I just realized that I don't know where the actual model is. Gotta be packed away somewhere. Too many moves in a short period of time. WF 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6bblbird Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Pretty sure that Fred Goeske's car was an influence on my future choice for my 1:1 race car! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. No, I recently finished a total restoration on the car and sold it (my retirement money). It turned out to be a pretty good long term investment Edited November 11, 2023 by 6bblbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
