Our "Fascination" 1967 Camao Funny Car started it's life as John Carter's "Carter Speed Our "Fascination" 1967 Camao Funny Car started it's life as John Carter's "Carter Speed Engineering" Camaro which was located in Louisville, KY. At that time it had a big block Chevy running on alcohol. The car was sold locally to Phil Quire who changed the name to "Fascination" and eventually relocated to Macon, GA. During this period it was equipped with a Chrysler Hemi (490). The paint is all original except where Donnie Reeves made some minor glass crack repairs, and the paint was matched as close as possible. The frame on the car when acquired by Don, was the "ugliest thing he had ever seen", and was switched out for the chassis from the Dave Walker Mustang then out of CA. The engine is a 482 CU IN (454 bored .125) with an Ohio Custom crankshaft with stock stroke and stock length aluminum rods, running last on 35% nitro, with a Turbo 400 trans equipped with a manual shift body. We ran it at the 2004 Funny Car Nationals and have displayed this cool, period Camaro at several dragstrip events. 

The funny car's still all original fiberglass body was fabricated entirely by hand, laying 'glass over a nearly brand new 1967 Camaro to make a mold, then hand laying more 'glass into the mold. The otherwise exact Camaro body was "stretched" somewhat in the front clip during the final steps of the 'glass bodies creation. We acquired this sweet piece of Camaro history from Matt Murphy, the owner and creative force behind GMMG Inc, a name most familiar to 4th generation high performance Camaro owners. The shop photo's below were taken at GMMG, Inc's ultra-cool facility in Marietta, GA where we picked up the car.
