it's still silent at this corner of the board, so probably you'll have a go, soon...

This is Nye Frank's (?) Pulsator dragster with a streamlined body; the car went faster with a normal body apparently!

Apparently, this car had two Chevy 327s, but they never had really good luck with the back engine due to the stress the first engine put on the second one's crankshaft.  They also often ran it without the enclosed body, because it was easier to work on the car!

A nice period pic, accompanied by the following caption:

Winternarionals at Pamona, 1965. The Pulsator was built by Frank Nye and driven by Bob Muravez. The twin Chevy V8's achieved a top trap time at 186, but when the rather heavy streamlined body was removed, the car was quicker. That's Bob Beazer in the Indian costume. He would perform an "anti-rain" dance when conditions seemed to require it.

It might have been slower than the stripped version, but it definetly looks very cool!
