From the Mad Mike Collection!
Something important to know about the Mad Mike Collection. Unless otherwise noted, many of the replicas being offered from the Mad Mike Collection will be rated as MINT because that is just what they are. Again, unless otherwise noted, most have never been removed from the factory packaging they came in. Many images that will be used in our ads will be from our archives of trackside images we shot or of diecast we have sold over the years. Box condition will be part of our rating process as well.
From 1320 Inc.
1:24 scale diecast. Keeling & Clayton California Charger NHRA front motored Top Fuel dragster. #1110 10th in the series from 1320.
"When was the last time that you can remember a car that won the "Best Appearing Car" award at a drag race also winning Top Fuel Eliminator at the same event? It's been a long while, hasn't it? But Rick Ramsey did just that in 1970 when he drove the spectacular "California Charger" car to the win over Gerry "The Hunter" Glenn at Ontario Motor Speedway. For years, the team of John Keeling and Jerry Clayton has fielded immaculate automobiles in NHRA's fastest class, Top Fuel. While they had met with modest success before 1970, it was the 26-year old Ramsey who took them to the promised land. He followed that Ontario win with stellar outings at the U.S. Fuel and Gas Championships at Bakersfield in '71 and at the Orange County Professional Dragster Championships two years later. But, despite all of their wins, and the fact that they had one of the most competitive cars in the country, this team will always be remembered, first and foremost, for the beautiful workmanship and lavish paint jobs that they had on their race cars. Just ask any drag racing fan today if they remember the "California Charger," and they'll probably say, "Yeah, that was the beautiful blue car, wasn't it?" Yes it was!" - Bob Frey.
