Pony Express: Art Malone’s Mustang Funny Car.
“Long-time drag racer ‘Colonel’ Art Malone has finally made the switch from rails to the wild funny cars. Based on a Race Car Engineering chassis, his B&N fiberglass-bodied pony sports, of all things, a ‘67 Chrysler hemi engine. Power is added in the form of a Hilborn injector, Isky cam, Jardine headers, Schiefer mag, Milodon oil, and Eelco fuel systems.
The front suspension consists of trailing torsion arms made by chassis builder Woody Gilmore. Bob Sorrell performed his usual exceptionally fine aluminum work. Art Carr modified the Torqueflite transmission, delivering the MoPar’s power to big Goodyears. Engine, driveline, and driver are offset 3 inches to left to combat torque. George Cerny painted car.”
Scans from Hot Rod Magazine August 1967.
