Pat Austin 1996 Red Wing Shoes Funny Car 1:24 Scale Diecast – NHRA Drag Racing Collectible (Factory Sealed)

Some racers are born into the sport.

Pat Austin helped shape it.

The son of legendary Funny Car pioneer Walt Austin, Pat carved out his own name in NHRA history as one of the most successful drivers in alcohol and nitro Funny Car competition. A multiple-time NHRA World Champion in the Alcohol Funny Car ranks, Austin earned a reputation for precision driving, mechanical knowledge, and fierce consistency.

By 1996, driving the Red Wing Shoes Funny Car, Austin was competing on the NHRA Funny Car tour during one of the most competitive eras in the category. The mid-’90s field was stacked with powerhouse teams, and Austin’s presence in the show reflected his skill both behind the wheel and in tuning the car. Known for his technical understanding and family-run racing roots, he carried the independent spirit of Funny Car racing into every national event.

This 1:24 scale Pat Austin 1996 Red Wing Shoes Funny Car diecast captures that era — bold sponsor graphics, classic ’90s body style, and the unmistakable presence of a racer who earned his respect the hard way.

Pre-owned and still in the original package, this piece offers strong display appeal for collectors who appreciate sealed vintage NHRA diecast.
