There were many unique funny cars constructed in the middle 1960s but none more so than the incredible Bronco Buster of Doug Nash. This machine, the only funny car in history to use a fully aluminum chassis, raced at 1,400lbs or less.

More amazingly, the Bronco Buster used a nitro injected, not blown, 289ci small block Ford engine with iron heads and an iron block.

The Bronco Buster was one of the most innovative and forward thinking funny cars of the early era of their existence. This is the story as told in detail you won't find anywhere else.

Where did it run? Who was Doug Nash? Was it successful? How did it all work?

History roars to life here.
