Review and Photos by Doug Bartley \"Doug<\/a><\/p>\n

The Real Cosmic Charger came out of Carl Casper’s busy custom shop. It was a super long, low and sleek stream liner. One of the most striking features of this outstanding machine is it’s super wild paint job by Casper, which consists of a very unique blending of over 30 exotic shades of lacquer. The chassis was fabricated by S & S Engineering, ignition by Mallory, Cragar wheels and blower drive, lettering by Kampney and tires by Goodyear. 1971 – Category: Topfuel, Type: TN, Class: AA\/FD, Div: 3 “Carl Caspers Cosmic Charger Streamliner” Owned by Carl Casper from Kentucky USA Dragster by Logghe Stamping Co. | Powered by a 426 cubic inch Chrysler Hemi with direct driveline. 1\/4 Mile ET: 6.670 and 1\/4 Mile Speed: 220.45 MPH.
