Some cars are fast. Some cars are loud.
This one is both—and then some.
The 2001 Jim Epler Motley Crue Nitro Funny Car is a perfect example of when NHRA stepped outside the norm and into full-blown cultural crossover. Pairing the raw, explosive power of nitro Funny Car racing with the rebellious energy of Motley Crue, this machine became an instant fan favorite.
Jim Epler, a veteran of the Funny Car ranks, built a reputation on consistency and longevity in one of the toughest classes in motorsports. But cars like this are what made his runs unforgettable—machines that didn’t just perform, but made a statement in the staging lanes.
The Motley Crue livery, with its bold graphics and unmistakable attitude, reflects an era when drag racing embraced entertainment, personality, and spectacle. It wasn’t just about ETs—it was about presence.
Produced by Racing Champions in 1:24 scale, this diecast captures that moment with striking detail. From the vivid bodywork to the detailed chassis and engine underneath, this piece delivers both display appeal and collector value.
Complete with original packaging featuring standout Motley Crue artwork, this is more than a diecast—it’s a piece of when drag racing turned the volume all the way up.
