#1202 - Don Cook's
1973 "Damn Yankee" Barracuda Funny Car

This is the second installment of "The Flopper's Series"... As they barnstormed across the country from track to track, the "Floppers" were piloted by the best in the business. From their fire burnouts to their ground-shaking runs, Funny Car pilots risked it all every time their custom fiberglass body lowered over them as they sat between monster racing slicks. The "Floppers" capture the free spirit of these quarter-mile warriors and their magnificent nitro-burning machines.

"The Floppers"…Thirteen-Twenty's 1/24th scale series of nostalgic Funny Cars…have many of the same features found on "The Fuelers" series, including cloth seat belts, rubber fuel and oil lines, ignition wires, soft tires. The diecast body is removable to show the detailed diecast chassis or can be displayed in the up position with the vintage style prop bar. Tooling also includes three different styles of front and rear wheels (see below), multiple injector and motor combinations.

This colorful "Flopper", owned by Don Cook & Myrna Cook and driven by two of the great Funny Car pilots ever to go down the quarter-mile. Ron O'Donnell and Pat Foster both drove this patriotic entry during their careers. The "Stars & Stripes" paint scheme has remained a favorite to all who saw this beautiful machine.
