In the middle of the 1960s factory wars when Ford and Chrysler dominated with full factory backing Durham, a self taught mechanic from Washington D.C., built his own machines and went head to head with the best in the sport. He defeated top names like Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin multiple times, proving that skill and innovation could overcome factory money. From his early Z-11 powered Chevrolet to his revolutionary engine setback Chevelle, and later his nitro burning Corvair Funny Car, Durham constantly pushed the limits of what was possible. Despite being named one of the NHRA’s 50 greatest drivers and earning a reputation as drag racing’s “Jackie Robinson,” his story has largely faded from mainstream history. Even details about his cars like the commonly misidentified “1967 Chevy II” have been misunderstood over time. This video uncovers the real story behind Malcolm Durham, his groundbreaking engineering, his dominance on the match race circuit, and the legacy he left behind in American motorsports. watch next :    • Why Did the NHRA Ban This Advanced 1933 Wi...      • The Strangest Gasser Ever Built ? Paul Pit...      • The ‘Football’: Big John Mazmanian’s Most ...      • The Day a Chevrolet Vega Humiliated Every ...
