Anyone witnessing the strip-shaking performances of today’s 275-mph 5-second AA/Funny Cars will find it difficult to connect those thundering acceleration machines with the purely pedestrian daily drivers found in a typical new-car dealer’s showroom. But by winding back the timers to the mid-’60s, the relationship between these contemporary competition cars and yesterday’s store-bought “grocery getters” can be seen more clearly. Chrysler’s corporate drag racing efforts went extreme in 1965 with a handful of purpose-built drag machines born of the muscle car era’s “win at all costs” mentality. The 1965 Plymouth Factory Altered Wheelbase cars and their Dodge counterparts resulted from a cutthroat battle between Ford and Chrysler for victory in the NHRA’s Super Stock and A/Factory Experimental A/FX classes.
