I just have a few cars.
I like the die casts.

Have the Miller Lite T/F, the Army T/F,
BRUT F/C, an old Skuza F/C

Which die cast manufacturers have gone away or stopped making NHRA stuff?
Which ones are still producing NHRA die casts?

Wouldn't mind picking up the Bill Miller car, and the Skytel car.

I have 30 Milestone Drag Racing Cars, four of their amazing 1/16 NASCAR cars and one of the incredible 1/6 scale Greer/Black "Yellow" Dragsters from GMP. I purchased these cars because I love the datail and accuracy. Unfortunately, the quality has forced the price of these cars to be way too expensive for the casual fan. And . . . politics are in place after Bruton Smith and NASCAR formed a company to buy Racing Champions and what was left of Action. The market for really nice 1/16 Drag Racing and NASCAR models is probably dead - sad

That's how I look at them as well, Charles.

I was in Target last night --- I was suprised to see they had 1320 Fuelers in a metal model kit. Sell for $19.99. Hope they get the Floppers.

The stock versions have changed more than you think. I know people who pick them apart every time they make a change or fail to make a change on them. The COT cars are the latest to be scrutinized. There was was also another good thing about the Wal-Mart versions of the NHRA cars. They made everybody, not just the "superstars" of the sport. Wyatt Radke, Gary Clapshaw, Brent and Vicky Fanning among others that Action would never have produced.

I have a couple of John Force diecasts, an autographed Tony Shue Excide Batteries TF'er and a Joe Amato TF'er (from the keystone days). That's about it.

i collected diecast for a few years and still have a ton of it, but sold most of my 1320 and action stuff. I still have a large AJ Foyt , Dan Gurney,Mark Donohue and John Force collection and a bunch of other stuff... Darrell Russell autographed fuel car, Ace miller funny,Alderman pro stock,Scelzi winston tf Shirley Shahan and Petes Patriot AMX's...all kind of weird stuff(100's)
About the most killer NHRA collection though...ask Terri Sewell about Richards!!
the distributors killed the shop owners when they started selling directly to the consumer....the market was flooded and the bottom dropped out. I think you can still melt down racing champions for fishing weights.

I used to build model cars and said i'd never buy any diecast. Then I bought a few here & there and now I have quite a few. I mainly buy the 1/64 scale {Hot Wheels, Racing Champions, etc} just because of lack of space. I still have a pretty good size collection of drag racing model kits.
