The cigar smoking, drag racing Dick Landy put a straight axle from an A100 van under his 1964 Dodge 330 and radically altered the wheelbase to create a drag car that was referred to as a funny car because, well, it looked funny. The rest is history. Read a piece on his racing career in Hemmings Motor News.
For sale – Dick Landy’s 1964 Dodge factory Hemi 330! One of fifty, aluminum-nosed B bodies built with the 426 Hemi engine. This very car won the MP/A class at the Hot Rod Magazine / NHRA race at Riverside held on June 12 -14 1964. This was the first drag win ever for a factory built 426 Hemi car at a major sanctioned race. It is the original body but with a repaint. Original interior except for new carpet. It has a replacement engine but the original 8 3/4 rear end. A definite piece of Mopar history. For sale for the fist time since 1978. See more here at Hemmings. More pictures after the jump!
