The long awaited debut of the Frantic Ford AA/Fuel Coupe Nostalgia Funny Car is right around the corner. Car should be ready for active competition up and down the eastern seaboard this coming May-June 2010.The team of Freddy Frey, Bob Rosetty, Bobby Frey & "Big Al" Liebmann are set to bring you a "Blast from the Past" with the return of the legendary Frantic Ford AA/Funny Car.

Current plans call for Team Frantic to be appearing at tracks primarily on the East Coast with possible dates in the Midwest if additional funding becomes available.

The new Mustang II being built by Bob Rosetty at http://www.funnyfarmfabrication.com will carry the same paint scheme that took the Frantic Ford to many victories back in the mid 1970's with the late, great Dodger Glenn at the controls ( see picture ). Paint on the new car will be applied once again by the legendary Bob Gerdes of Circus Custom Paint. Lettering on the car will be handled by the talented brush strokes of Glen, another renowned east coast legend.

Look for a feature story on the "History of the Frantic Ford" in the next issue and issues to follow in Drag Racer Magazine

Check out what's new with the Frantic Ford @ http://www.franticford.com

The recreation of the Frantic Ford is dedicated to the memory of the late Paul R.(Dodger) Glenn

NHRA should pay close attention to this car (and many others like it) because it actually LOOKS like what it is supposed to be.......Wazzzup with the Bubble Roof look of today's Fuel Coupes?? :evil:
