Details
This car was previously owned by Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme. The Skoal Bandit was the last funny car the drag racing superstar drove in his career before returning to the Top Fuel ranks in 1990. Winner of the 1989 NHRA Nationals and a Bud Shootout Championship. Prudhomme drove the car to a 5.17 second run and a new NHRA record in the process of winning the Budweiser-sponsored Bud Shootout at Indianapolis where is also won the Funny Car Eliminator at the US nationals the same weekend. The teams
spent a great deal of time in Pontiac Division's wind tunnel facility refining the shape of the body to direct airflow toward the engine's air injector scoop and to produce extra downforce at the rear. The latter feature attracted the attention of the NHRA officials, who promptly outlawed it after the US Nationals. The car is powered by a supercharged, nitro-burning aluminum block HEMI engine with fuel injection, Mallor twin magneto ignition, and overdrive transmission. It utilizes a tube frame with a solid-mounted front and rear suspension and a 12-gallon fuel tank. It rolls on Goodyear Racing rubber surrounding Cragar wheels. This was the first funny car to break into the 'teens' with a 5.193second run at 265.8mph in Houston on March 2, 1989. The Funny Car is still festooned in its original Skoal Tobacco graphics and is ready to run. **NOT STREET LEGAL. SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY**
