This was called the Texas Big Bird, it raced from around 99 to 2003. The website they had is dead.

It would go from a dead stop to 235MPH in 6.2 seconds. While it was a one of a kind pure drag car that had no street car parts - it was built to look like a Petty Blue (Richard Petty's colors when he raced a Superbird) and was featured in four magazines.
A few years ago -- a street Superbird was used to tow the Texas Big Bird to the starting line as a promotion stunt.
