In the annals of cool drag racing stuff on eBay, this one ranks right up there with the best of them.

Back in the mid-1980s, a number of Top Fuel teams began experimenting once again with air-cheating bodywork in an effort to gain a competitive edge on the rest of the field, doing so with some now-legendary racecars with looks straight out of a cheesy ’80s sci-fi film. Perhaps none were more ambitious or remembered as well today, though, as the Castrol GTX-adorned streamliner campaigned in 1986 by the late, great Gary Ormsby.

Prior to that 1986 season, Ormsby called upon a number of aerodynamic specialists from the IndyCar world, notably engineer Pete Swingler, to design an enclosed body for his dragster — one that ultimately came out looking, well, very similar to the IndyCars of the day, with a full belly pan underneath, a large front canard wing to direct air over the front wheels and create additional downforce, and a relatively tall (for the period) windshield with bodywork wrapped around the roll cage. It’s most notable feature, however, was the complete enclosure of the engine, featuring an opening for the injector hat, the headers, and the magnetos.

Unfortunately, the body, as great as it looked, weighed a hefty 130 pounds. In its debut at the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, a magneto grounded to the bodywork caused an explosion on the burnout, and the fortunes never really improved the rest of the year for Ormsby, who finished the season sixth in the points, a country mile behind Don Garlits’ own Streamliner, the Swamp Rat XXX.

The car was converted back to traditional bodywork for 1987 and continued to be raced, but the iconic streamliner body was, thankfully, saved for posterities sake and is now up for sale for the semi-princely sum of $35,000. The team saved everything, including the front wing, two painted nose pieces, front section , the drivers compartment section, rear enclosure, and the full belly pan, and now, it can be one hell of a conversation piece for a drag racing collector.
