Bushwacker is a pioneering streamliner slingshot dragster.[1]

Originally built by Pete Ogden as Goldfinger, the car had a Шаблон:Convert wheelbase with dropped front axle and bicycle wheels, and an aluminum body (hammered by Arnie Roberts) which left the engine exposed but fendered the slicks.[1]

The car was acquired by Don Honstein in 1965, repainted, and renamed Bushwacker.[1] Driven by Ron Welty, who built the car's supercharged Шаблон:Convert Chrysler hemi, Bushwacker competed at three NHRA March Meets (at Bakersfield, California[2]) and at local races before being sold again.[1]

In 2006, it was restored.[1]

Goldfinger

Built by Pete Ogden to promote Tognotti's Speed Shop (Sacramento, California), the car debuted at the NHRA March Meet in 1964.[1] It had a Шаблон:Convert wheelbase, with dropped front axle and bicycle wheels, and a gold-painted aluminum body (hammered by Arnie Roberts) which left the engine exposed but fendered the slicks.[1]

Power came from a supercharged Шаблон:Convert Chrysler hemi built by Ron Welty.[1] The car was driven by Lyle Kelly, and turned in low-8s e.t.s at over Шаблон:Convert.[1]
