It's a 70Dart.
It's the L.A. Dart rear engine wheelstander.
I picked it up at Carlisle a few years ago.

Mopardude i have to get a 71 Duster die-cast now that i have a real one.
There's usually a bunch of the die-cast one's at Carlisle in a variety of colors there's even one in primer!

Buying diecast cars at swap meets is interesting. Sometimes they charge way more than in like a hobby store. Than other times you can get some crazy deals on them.

True but i have no hobby stores around here.
Last year the one vendor had the primered 68 Hemi Dart and had $100 price tag on it!
It was cool but not for that price!

I have quite a few Mopar die cast cars, and some models but I've always been a fan of top fuel funny cars. I followed Dean Skuza and a few other pro funny car racers since the mid 90's. All the guy's that had a dodge body, I tried to keep track of. Skuza just had a personality that I caught on too. I know him personally and speak with him often now, and as much as I hate to say I am a fan of someone else, I'm a Skuza fan (even though he has a Pontiac body now).

I had the chance to work on an alcohol funny car (dodge avenger bodied) a few years back, and I love these cars. If I were rich, you can bet your bootie I'd be wheeling a dodge bodied funny car, and crapping my pants the entire run. :rock:

Here's a few of my Skuza funny cars .. some are still in the boxes and not pictured, and I am missing about 2 or 3 of his cars that I know of. :geek:
