As far as I’m aware Glenn, Tony’s blown Funny Car features one of the last Chevy Beretta bodies to come from the Amato/TRW stable of cars in the late eighties. In fact I was told it was one of the TRW team’s show cars while Bruce Larson drove for the team. The body, and quite possibly the chassis, found its way over here in the hands of Mark Newby and Terry Revell racing in the Top Alcohol class as the 'Kopex Entertainer'. Much later fuel tuner Alan Jackson ran it before the Olds Achieva as an alky turned nitro flopper.
A while back Tony gave me some info about the car and two very rough photos so apologies for the quality. Motive power will be from a 525ci Keith Black with a ¾ inch stroker steel billet crank, billet rods and billet heads. The transmission is a Crower pedal clutch assembly with a 3 speed Lenco through an ex Bootsie Herridge rear axle with Strange internals. Chassis is a 125 inches chrome moly and tagged for nitro Funny Car racing. As I said earlier, the body is an ex Amato Racing Chevy Beretta which over here in England has run 256 mph! Brother Trace has the ex Doug Ripley Dodge Avenger TMFC.
