Description
Moebius Models 2451:
1/25 Dave Strickler's 1965 Dodge Altered Wheelbase Funny Car
The Moebius 1/25 1965 Dodge AWB Funny Car Strickler Plastic Model Kit captures a critical evolutionary step in American motorsport history. During the mid-1960s, drag racers began radical body modifications to maximize traction, giving birth to the legendary "Altered Wheelbase" (AWB) class and paving the way for modern Funny Cars. This kit immortalizes the wild, tire-shredding A/FX Dodge Coronet driven by racing icon Dave Strickler.
As a modern-tooled kit released in 2024, it delivers exceptionally crisp panel crispness, great engineering alignment, and avoids the heavy seam flash common in vintage drag racing molds.
Kit Features & Racing-Spec Details
