Favorite Nostalgia Funny Car

[A/Fuel]

Okay....
Mine right now is the '70 camaro of Steve Nichols.
It took him 3 years to make the body on this thing and it's awesome.

All cool cars for sure, but I was looking more for ones that are currently racing.

Re: Favorite Nostalgia Funny Car

the poverty stricken vega is bitchen, and the Jungle Jim camaro that ran at CHRR is just sexy.

Re: Favorite Nostalgia Funny Car

I have a couple favorites but the Mr. Explosive Nova is awesome and if made to choose my absolute topper, it would be the refreshed Holy Toldeo Jeep.

Re: Favorite Nostalgia Funny Car

I like any of the current N/FCs that do NOT have: 1) post-'74 bodies, 2) side skirts, 3) too much front overhang, 4) modern looking graphics.

Sorry to turn drag racing into a fashion show, but there you have it.

I can live with cars like the current Fighting Irish, which is a '74 Camaro. That name was never on a car that late...but it could have been. It still looks pretty correct. The current Blue Max is the wrong model year, too. And Densh's car should be a Challenger instead of a Camaro. But I'm not complaining.

Mr. Explosive is also cool because it's a vintage-seeming deal that never happened in history. I'd actually like to see more cars that have original but retro execution rather than just reproductions of old cars.

We're working on a story with Leah Pruett-LeDuc. Cool.

Re: Favorite Nostalgia Funny Car

I'm with Freiburger on Nostalgia Funny Cars. Any of them that look like the should have been run do it for me.

Mr. Explosive is one of my favorites because it just looks bitchin and they are great people. Plus, it never ran but looks like it should have back in the day.

The shorter the nose, and the cooler the graphics, the better. It just screams cool.
