Post Mr Tomato is very probable since the plate on the front bumper crudely reads "Texas Badman" and the Mr Tomato car had very close ties to the "Kansas Badman" Ted Detar back in the day. Notice how far the HEMI has been set back into the firewall and also how the rear 1/4 window posts of been removed for weight savings?

Some before & after shots of the Mr Tomato A/FX Dodge...so did this one start out as a factory A990 car.

Notice the remarks you made above and now compare them to this old photo of The Funny Car A/FX Plymouth...but the other car was a Dodge not a Plymouth.

Bill Flynn's called the Yankee Peddler was another '65 A990 Dodge Coronet that was converted into a A/FX altered wheel base car...shown with cross-ram & injected Hemi.

The red car that I posted a pic of earlier is definitely not a Plymouth since the shape of the rear 1/4 panels gives it away as originally being a Dodge Coronet. Most competitive racers discarded the same body parts in order to save weight and engines were slid closer and closer to the rear for better weight transfer as race season went on.

Here's some of a '65 Belvedere called "Plymouth A-Go-Go" also with the rear wheels moved forward...don't know if it was a real A990 car though, might be.
