I've been seeing that for a few weeks now and was wondering the same thing...

I have not seen the video yet but knowing the Harpers out of Oregon own a Mercedes repair shop and own a TAD could possibly be them. I could be wrong, Just taking a guess!!!

I can't find this commercial on YouTube. Anyone have a link to it?

I finally figured out which front engine dragster that is. (like anyone really cares - lol) I had a chance to TIVO the commercial and study it in slo-mo.

It's the restored Dan Richins "Iron Horse" from 1971. It has an SPE chassis (hense the uniquely curved front axle). The most identifiable feature is the
Hilborn injector scoop that was cut back a bit at the lower edge.

Sweet car. Here it is crackling: Iron Horse Top Fuel Dragster (c1971) Firing Up.MOV - YouTube

Thanks for doin' the homework. Tried for awhile to find some info, but with no luck, I forgot about it. That's a pretty cool cackle video!
