Some gearhead buddies went with me to see "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" when it came out. We had a great time watching all those Funny Cars wrapped up in Beetle skins.
Unfortunately, I also paid to see "Herbie Goes Bananas." Once.
funny cars?! those wern't funny cars they were lightend hopped up beattles,disny acctualy went to a shop in californa and had them build a bunch of motors for the movies,read a damn book you jerk. >:(
Chill, fella! Anything modified as heavily as those Volkswagons had to have been certainly qualifies as a Phunny Kar, whether they meet NHRA standards or not.
And I wasn't really concerned enough to look it up. Just mildly interested in a passing sort of way.
Yes, you are correct. They weren't NHRA-legal Funny Cars, since that is a specific set of characteristics that must apply to any vehicle in the class. My buddies and I were using the term lightly to imply that the cars had been reworked heavily to do all those wild tricks.
Sorry for the misleading use of a technical term. Won't happen again.

There's a slight difference with the Herbie in this video. The other herbie has no stripes on the door whole the one in this video does.
