Sheldon Kornblatt's 392 Jag.


Sheldon first came to our attention in 1966 when he campaigned a Ford LTD 4/door Funny Car named "Peanuts"

In 1967 Konblett decided to build a more aero-dynamic Jaguar XKE. When the car was completed, with it's beautiful Pearl Pink and Rose Lace paint job, it was a real show-stopper, and considered one of the prettiest Funny Cars ever. It simply sucked and would drive straight with the body on

I wish I could find some nice high res photos of that lace paint and logo on the nose

  1. Shelden's niece Debbie was a grade-school friend; we took classes together at El Marino Elementary school before she moved away. She gave me a book cover with a b/w photo of Snoopy doing a burnout. I still have the cover in storage. :)
