Sidewinder III is a streamliner dragster.[1]

Built by Kent Fuller in 1969, it used a transversly-mounted supercharged 350 Chevy[1] (hence "sidewinder") in a magnesium-tube chassis with a 123 in (3,100 mm) wheelbase.[1] It was run by the team of Hopkins, Thornhill, and Finicle in BB/GD (B supercharged gas dragster).[1]
