The original “King Fish” match bash funny car was one the wildest funny cars of the 1960s. Famed Memphis racer Bill Taylor built the car in 1965 with the original wheelbase, but it got a needed extension by John Albright in 1966 to keep up with the new flip tops. The “King Fish” Barracuda ran a 426 Chrysler Hemi on a heavy load of nitro. California racer Larry Reyes moved to Memphis just to drive the “King Fish.” The brave driver ran a best of 8.59 at 169 with the car. The machine was retired at the end of the 1966 season to be replaced by a new flip top Barracuda.

Dart 2. After Garlits first rear engined1965/66 Dart's throttle stuck and the transmission exploded (cutting the car in half) on the first run, and After the former Branstner-Howell built rear engined 1965 Dartcharger, a.k.a. 1966 PolkaDart (66 fenders/ trans removed) aka Garlits Dart (black paint) went through the traps upside down (backflipped) at Detroit, a second (or third) version came along, the Swamp Rat IX, (basically a Swamp Rat VI with a 66 fiberglass Dart body).
