Some race cars win races.
Others become legends.

The Raymond Beadle Blue Max 1979 Plymouth Arrow Funny Car is one of the true icons of NHRA drag racing history — and this detailed 1:24 scale Action Collectibles / Lionel ARC release pays tribute to one of the wildest and most unforgettable eras in Funny Car racing.

Produced in a limited run of just 1 of 7,008, this collectible captures the spirit of the legendary Blue Max Funny Car, a machine that helped shape the identity of professional drag racing during the golden years of nitro competition.

Raymond Beadle was more than a champion driver — he was a pioneer, innovator, and one of the toughest competitors to ever stage a Funny Car. Behind the wheel of the Blue Max, Beadle built a reputation for fearless driving, hard-earned victories, and championship-level consistency. His impact on NHRA Funny Car racing helped elevate the sport into a national spectacle and inspired generations of racers and fans alike.

The Blue Max name became synonymous with power, personality, and pure nitro chaos. From the unmistakable paint scheme to the aggressive stance of the Plymouth Arrow body, this car instantly takes fans back to packed grandstands, smoky burnouts, and the thunder of Funny Cars launching under the lights.

Action Collectibles did an outstanding job recreating this NHRA icon with detailed engine components, authentic sponsor graphics, and period-correct styling that makes this piece stand out in any collection. Whether you’re a longtime drag racing fan or a diecast collector who appreciates motorsports history, this Blue Max Funny Car belongs on the shelf.

Even decades later, Raymond Beadle and the Blue Max still create memories for drag racing fans around the world. Their legacy represents an era when Funny Cars were unpredictable, dangerous, and larger than life — exactly the kind of history Revelry1 loves to preserve.
