the Dodge factory drag race program had the D/Dart program and the RamChargers, and Plymouth didn't get any benefit from that, but, the Golden Commandos were professional drag racing factory engineers, and they made this 273 cu in acid dipped trick Barracuda for F/Stock, 12.50 to 13.99 class.
The Goldfish broke the AHRA F stock record the first time it ran
The Golden Commandos club was conceived in 1962 by a small group of technicians, mechanics and engineers from Chrysler Corporation Central Engineering Department.
Locally known as “Detroit’s own Golden Commandos”, the team continually set the bar at the race track. They developed and evaluated new technologies; sharing this technology with other factory teams
In 1965 the Golden Commandos fielded their wildest ride yet and in doing so they changed the landscape of drag racing forever. The altered wheelbase cars became known as those “funny looking Mopars” or “Funny Cars” as we know them today.
