Funny Cars - vintage 1st and 2nd generation Charger race photos

[held1823]

I've accumulated thousands of old Mopar drag photos over the years, including Chargers by the hundreds.

There were quite a few teams that ran this era's body in many different paint schemes throughout the years.

There is a separate thread for the 1971 - up body style.

I figure if I alone post one photo a day, this thread would stay active for years, but please feel free to add to the thread.

If it doesn't generate much interest, it will eventually work its way into oblivion

I didn't save the photographer name on many, so if it isn't shown on the photo i'd be happy to edit a post to give due credit

this full on lace paint was short lived as the car was crashed during one of its first events. it was rebuilt, but with a different scheme

I would love to find an old 68-70 Charger F/C body and build a state of the art new chassis under it with a blown Hemi of course.
