I'm thinking one of the very first would be Fred Goeske's "Plymouth Dealer Association" 65 Cuda out of SoCal. It was a rear engined fuel funny car on nitro....I have a framed ND (my first ND) dated March 1965 with a headline of Goeske running a high 8 et at a match race at Half Moon Bay in California.

If my memory serves me right, I also think that Tom McEwen drove that car for a while. Now that I look at it, McEwen was the first driver, crashed the car, and sold it to Goeske. I have a pic of it taken in late 66...if I can figure out how to do it I'll post it.
