Ron Pellegrini who started Fibergl*** Ltd. was known to rent a car that had the desired body, wax it really well and pull a plug from it and return the car. In the early FC days that gave the detail but as time went on the details went away when smoothing out the lines for areo was more important. A local guy Herman Leismeister had a Fibergl*** Ltd. ‘70 442 that was possibly one of one (?) and another local racer, Dale Creasy Sr. had a ‘70 Torino, one of three.
I'm pretty sure the Creasy car was originally Bonner's. Phil never raced the car, it was stolen in Chicago at a show. Jim Barrilaro also raced a Torino funny car, the Cammer Jammer.
Not that obvious but bottom pic is the Dunn & Reath rear engine FC. There was actually a movie about them racing the car, Funny Car Summer released in the mud 70's.
