4X4 Funny

[Calkins]

If you happen to have a copy of Petersen's History Of Drag Racing from 1981 you might recognise this hot rod.  Or possible you were lucky enough to see it at the strip or a local car show.  It's Gary Weckesser's Mach 4 AWD Mustang 'Funny Car' from the later '60's.



Hot Rod also had an article about it.

About 1970 with Galpin Ford sponsorship.

I remember those.
I also remember an Allison V12 powered Mustang F/C named "Iron Horse", or something like that doing a fire burnout for a magazine pictorial.
Anyone recall that?

I sure wish I would have kept all my old issues of Drag News.

I don't remember that one but i do know of this one. Still the most powerful piston engine car.

Anything Jim Lytle was involved with had power - no doubt.
