Before the themed cars, before the crossover moments—there was dominance.
This 1996 John Force Castrol GTX Pontiac Funny Car represents the era when Force wasn’t just a name—he was becoming the name in NHRA Funny Car racing. The mid-90s marked the height of his early dynasty, a period where race wins stacked up and championships became expected.
Behind the wheel of machines like this Castrol GTX Pontiac, Force built the foundation of what would become one of the greatest careers in motorsports history—eventually totaling 16 NHRA Funny Car championships. The red, white, and green Castrol livery became iconic in its own right, instantly recognizable to fans lining the fences and watching from the stands.
This car isn’t about flash—it’s about legacy. It’s the look, the stance, and the era that defined consistency, power, and dominance in Funny Car racing.
Produced by Action Collectibles as part of their Platinum Series, this 1:24 scale diecast captures that moment with clean detail, including a removable body that reveals the nitro-burning engine beneath. Paired with its original packaging and well-preserved condition, it stands as a true representation of 90s NHRA history.
This is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of the foundation that built a legend.
