By 1973 the hard charging Ramchargers team had given up their Challenger bodied Funny Car for this latest Dodge "Demon" offering from Mopar...This Ram had to be the "Swoopiest" of the bunch for the 73 season.

So far I've identified 4 different drivers for this "Demon". Leroy Goldstein the original driver, was followed by Arnie Behling, Claire Sanders and Jim Paoli... Sanders was the more successful driver of this Funny...

I painted this front view of the car, because I felt it demonstrated the mean looking attitude of the car...
