The terms “Funny Car” and “street legal” have never really gone hand-in-hand given the very specific racing nature of a flopper, being that the only similarities between a street car and a Funny Car are the presence of an engine and four wheels, but with a creative mind and some mechanical ingenuity, anything can be made a reality. Case in point is this ’69 Camaro Funny Car currently being auctioned on eBay, that has a racing heritage dating back to the 1960’s, but today is a fully street legal example of drag racing’s storied past.

Affordable Classic Motor Cars is selling this restored machine that once rocketed up and down the 1320 but today leads a more relaxed life as a street car and show car piece. The basis of the “Young Forever” Funny Car is an original chassis by the legendary Logghe brothers, which has been restored and updated by Larry Sikora and Chuck Finders. Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Al Bergler, a former ace Funny Car pilot himself, also had a hand in the project as he re-did all of the tin work in the ’69 Camaro Funny Car body.

According to the brief documentation in the listing (additional documentation and photos are provided with the purchase of the car), it was built in 1969 for Jack Brown and later sold to Gasser competitor Mickey Hart of Hart Automative in Cleveland. It was originally driven by the late Bill Levic, another Gasser racer, and Ken Mott, who drove a number of Funny Cars during his career.

The car now sports a 262 cubic inch, supercharged V-8 between the framerails producing around 400 horsepower, backed with a TH 350 automatic transmission, a Chrysler 8.75″ rear end, and rear disc brakes. The drivetrain, combined with the addition of lights, mufflers, street legal DOT tires, and a horn, all come together to create a road worthy machine that still maintains the racy image of the classic Funny Cars.

The original look, fresh paint, and overall uniqueness of this car has helped it garner a number of show car awards in recent years with the prestigious International Show Car Association, with victories at shows in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Dayton, and Cincinnati.

With an old school straight front axle, side exit “zoomie” headers, the supercharger and “bug-catcher” protruding through the windshield, and the very rare side-mounted canard wings, this thing is a real throwback to the earliest days of the Funny Car. And it just so happens you can fire this one up and take it for a Sunday drive.
