Swamp Rat III - Dragster Don Garlits This is the next in the Swamp Rat Series from GMP, the Swamp Rat III - C. In reading the various historical accounts regarding top speed claims, some say E.T. was 8.0 sec @ 191.00. However, in promotional material given out by Garlits in the '60's, the E.T. is touted as 7.88 sec @ 198.66. Being that the record time is painted on the car, this is what I will go by. SRIII replicated by GMP is the "C" series driven by Connie Swingle. There are some great archive pictures of Garlits holding the dragster at the lights with one hand, preventing the car from drifting while staged. Guess you had to know when to let go!!! Powered by the 392 Chrysler hemi, 1330 hp engine, this dragster was campaigned between 1961-1962. Wheelbase was 115 in. and weighed in at 1500 lbs. Look at those stats closely…..lots of power, low weight. This dragster was run in the top fuel class using a mixture of 90% nitro, 3% benzene and 7% alcohol. LTD Edition of 5904 Released in 2002 and now very hard to find. Scale 1/18 14003
