Yea, I lived on the eastside, 6 Mile & Davison I know what you mean. There was bad blood between us and the Detroit Dragway guys so we went to Motor City Dragway. I went out to the old site and it’s still there overgrown with weeds.Attachment 37635

It may have been, I'm not sure. I never was really interested in Funny Cars anyhow. Altered wheelbase FX classes were more my style together with gassers. All I know, the body was there, paint was dull, had been sanded down, metalflake IIRC. The graphics were still there but thin and dull. Maybe the Nash team had multiple bodies if one was damaged, don't know. But supposedly this one was from the race truck. The friend that had it knew the whole story, back then it was just another piece of junk that nobody wanted, If memory serves me correct he worked for Doug Nash and that is how he got the body. He wanted to build it into a street car but never got to it and moved to the West Coast about 1971.
Building that into a legal street car would have been a challenge back then to me, I was piecing crashed and worn out cars into drivers and racers at the time.
Perhaps some saw a thread on Electric cars that whoop any gas cars ass....
