Joe Amato #6 Keystone 1997 Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 Diecast – Action / Lionel RCCA NHRA Collectible

Before the 300-mph barrier fell… before the new generation took over… Joe Amato was already a legend.

A five-time NHRA Top Fuel World Champion (1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1996), Amato built one of the most dominant runs in Top Fuel history. Known for his smooth driving style and mechanical precision, he became one of the first drivers to push Top Fuel into the modern high-speed era, including breaking the 280 mph barrier in the 1980s.

By 1997, piloting the #6 Keystone Top Fuel Dragster, Amato was competing as a seasoned champion and respected veteran in a rapidly evolving nitro field. Even as new teams emerged, Amato remained competitive, bringing championship experience and consistency to every event. His longevity in a sport as volatile as Top Fuel is part of what makes his career so remarkable.

This 1997 Joe Amato #6 Keystone Top Fuel Dragster 1:24 diecast, produced by Action / Lionel RCCA, captures that late-career championship-era presence. The long, sleek nitro rail and bold Keystone livery make it a standout piece for collectors of 1990s Top Fuel history.

Pre-owned and in great condition, this diecast represents a bridge between Top Fuel’s golden years and its modern evolution.
