Notes: The original "Kingfish" match bash funny car was one the wildest funny cars of the 1960s. Famed Memphis racer Bill Taylor built the car in 1965 with the original wheelbase, but it got a needed extension by John Albright in 1966 to keep up with the new flip tops. The "Kingfish" Barracuda ran a 426 Chrysler Hemi on a heavy load of nitro. California racer Larry Reyes moved to Memphis just to drive the "Kingfish." The brave driver ran a best of 8.59 at 169 with the car. The machine was retired at the end of the 1966 season to be replaced by a new flip top Barracuda. Did this car run in 1965 or did it debut in 1966? (Photo courtesy Bob Plumer and Drag Race Memories. stats courtesy Dennis Doubleday. Info from James Ibusuki) (Featured in 10-66 PHR. - Ron T.) |
