Bushwacker is a pioneering streamliner slingshot dragster.

Originally built by Pete Ogden as Goldfinger, the car had a 156 in (4,000 mm) wheelbase with dropped front axle and bicycle wheels, and an aluminum body (hammered by Arnie Roberts) which left the engine exposed but fendered the slicks.

The car was acquired by Don Honstein in 1965, repainted, and renamed Bushwacker. Driven by Ron Welty, who built the car's supercharged 392 cu in (6,420 cc) Chrysler hemi, Bushwacker competed at three NHRA March Meets (at Bakersfield, California) and at local races before being sold again.

In 2006, it was restored.
