HistoryThe car was a dark blue 1949 Packard, purchased for US$50 and built in Koffel's own garage.[3] The engine was swapped for a {{convert|292|cid|cc|abbr=on}} Chevrolet small-block V8 (from a 1961 Corvette, bored {{convert|0.060|in|mm|abbr=on}} over). It was only mildly modified, fitted with 270 heads, solid-lifter camshaft, and Offenhauser intake manifold (with three two-barrel {twin-choke} carburetors).[4] The transmission was a four-speed manual from a Corvette, and the rear axle came from a 1957 Plymouth with a steep 6.17:1 ratio (because of the car's high weight, {{convert|4430|lb|kg|abbr=on}}).[5] In 1961, Koffel changed the three deuces to Hilborn fuel injection.[6] In this trim, the car set a new NHRA national record in E/G at 13.33 seconds and {{convert|104.04|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[7] It won the 1962 E/G national title at the NHRA Nationals, Indianapolis Raceway Park, with a pass of 13.71 seconds at {{convert|102.85|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[8] In 1963, Koffel replaced the steel front end panels with custom fiberglass items produced by Walt Sari of Ashtabula, Ohio.[9] With the fiberglass panels fitted, 'Flintstone Flyer won the 1963 F/G national title at the NHRA Nationals in Indianapolis, with a pass of 13.69 seconds at {{convert|101.80|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[10] Notes1. ^Davis, Larry.
