Joe Amato 1998 Tenneco Automotive Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 Diecast by Revell – NHRA Collectible

Before the modern era of 330+ mph Top Fuel dominance, there was Joe Amato — one of the drivers who helped build the category into what it is today.

A five-time NHRA Top Fuel World Champion (1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1996) and one of the first drivers to break the 280 mph barrier, Amato was known for precision, consistency, and longevity. Over a career that spanned decades, he earned 50+ national event victories and became one of the most respected figures in drag racing history.

By 1998, driving the Tenneco Automotive Top Fuel Dragster, Amato was already cemented as a living legend — a veteran competitor still capable of running with the sport’s fiercest challengers. The Tenneco machine represents the late-’90s nitro era, when Top Fuel was evolving rapidly in speed and technology.

This 1:24 scale diecast by Revell captures that chapter of Amato’s storied career — long wheelbase, bold sponsor livery, and the unmistakable presence of a championship-caliber team.

Pre-owned and ready for display, this piece belongs in any serious NHRA Top Fuel collection.
