Before rear-engine Top Fuel dragsters became the standard, the front-engine rail dragster ruled the quarter-mile.

Drivers sat behind enormous nitro-burning engines in long, lightweight machines capable of incredible acceleration. These dramatic cars helped define drag racing during the 1960s and early 1970s.

Tom McEwen became one of the sport’s great showmen and innovators. His famous “Mongoose” nickname and rivalry with Don Prudhomme’s “Snake” became one of the most successful promotions in motorsports history and helped bring drag racing to a much larger national audience.

This model captures the unmistakable appearance of the classic front-engine dragster with its long exposed chassis, narrow front wheels, massive rear slicks, chrome components, detailed Hemi engine, and racing parachute.

For an even more impressive drag racing display, pair this model with the Atlantis Models Don “The Snake” Prudhomme AA Fuel Front Engine Rail Dragster.
