Celebrate NHRA drag racing history with this Tony Bartone Lucas Oil 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo Funny Car, a highly detailed 1:24 scale diecast collectible produced by Racing Champions RC2.
Representing the iconic Jim Dunn Racing team, this limited-edition Funny Car captures one of the most recognizable Lucas Oil-sponsored entries from the mid-2000s NHRA Funny Car era. Featuring authentic sponsor graphics, a detailed chassis and engine assembly, and an opening body design, this collectible showcases the craftsmanship that Racing Champions collectors appreciate.
Limited to just 1,254 pieces produced, this release is significantly scarcer than many NHRA diecasts from the same period, making it a desirable addition for collectors of Funny Cars, Lucas Oil memorabilia, and Jim Dunn Racing collectibles.
Few names in nitro drag racing carry the longevity and respect of Jim Dunn. A true pioneer of the sport, Dunn has spent decades competing, tuning, and mentoring racers while maintaining one of NHRA's longest-running independent teams. Driver Tony Bartone played an important role in the team's success and later built a successful career of his own, fielding a competitive NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car operation that continues to win races.
Whether you're a fan of Lucas Oil-sponsored race cars, independent NHRA teams, or limited-production diecasts, this Tony Bartone Funny Car is a standout collectible from a memorable era of drag racing.
