Step into the golden era of NHRA Funny Car racing with this Whit Bazemore 2003 Mopar Matco Tools Dodge Funny Car 1:24 diecast by Racing Champions Authentics.
Whit Bazemore’s journey through drag racing is one of the most unique in NHRA history. Starting his career behind the lens as a drag racing photographer, Bazemore worked his way into the driver’s seat—eventually becoming one of the most respected Funny Car competitors of his era. Known for his determination, driving skill, and ability to compete at the highest level, Bazemore came close to championship glory multiple times, earning wins and the respect of fans across the sport.
This diecast captures his 2003 Mopar-powered Funny Car, featuring one of the most aggressive and memorable liveries of the era. The Matco Tools Mopar scheme, complete with bold graphics and striking detail, stands out as a fan-favorite among collectors and Mopar enthusiasts alike.
Produced in 1:24 scale by Racing Champions, this model offers detailed craftsmanship, accurate sponsor placement, and a true-to-life Funny Car stance. With only 2,000 units produced, this piece is considered very hard to find (VHTF)—especially in this condition with original packaging.
Preserved in great condition (NIB), this is a must-have for collectors chasing rare Mopar Funny Cars, unique driver stories, and standout early-2000s NHRA designs.
At Revelry1 Staging Lanes, we don’t just collect cars—we preserve the stories behind them.
