Jim Dunn “Rainbow Fueler” 1969 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 Diecast – 1320 Inc NHRA Collectible

Some racers chase trophies.

Others help build the sport itself.

Jim Dunn is one of those racers.

Long before corporate sponsorships and massive team operations, Dunn was one of the gritty pioneers who helped shape the early years of nitro drag racing. Known to fans as “Big Jim,” he started racing in Southern California during the golden age of drag racing and quickly became one of the sport’s most respected competitors.

The 1969 Rainbow Fueler Top Fuel Dragster represents those early days when Top Fuel machines were raw, loud, and unbelievably fast for their time. Dunn’s colorful “Rainbow” dragster became one of the recognizable machines of the era as he battled the toughest competitors in the sport during drag racing’s formative years.

Over the decades, Jim Dunn’s career became legendary. He competed across multiple eras of drag racing and later built Jim Dunn Racing, a team that has continued to compete in the NHRA Funny Car class for generations. His story and the early days of nitro racing were even captured in the film “Funny Car Summer,” which documented the wild, unpredictable world of drag racing in the 1970s.

This Jim Dunn “Rainbow Fueler” 1969 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 diecast, produced by 1320 Inc in 2001 and limited to just 1 of 3,500 made, celebrates one of the original pioneers of nitro drag racing.

Pre-owned and in great condition, this rare throwback collectible is a fantastic piece for fans who appreciate the roots of the sport and the racers who helped build it.
