Business guru Jack Welch probably said it best: “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete”. And while we can’t testify as to whether or not Mr. Welch ever watched a drag race, we estimate he’d consider the altered wheelbase quarter mile machines that Chrysler put forth in the ‘sixties - the original factory “funny cars” - as pretty damned competitive.

For many of us, these cars and the clones they spawned represent the very image of factory drag racing’s heyday. That fact has not been lost on Minnesota, USA’s Supercar Collectibles. This late-process pre-production sample went through here much like the real cars did - rapidly, and with a lot of style - but we wanted to share the pictures and our impressions while we’re waiting for the production pieces to arrive.
