Flashy, arrogant, and over-the-top funny cars dominated drag racing popularity from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. Remember sitting in the stands covered with hot smoke from Jungle Jim or Blue Max's ear-splitting burnouts? Or maybe the epic crash of Roland Leong's Hawaiian funny car driven by Larry Reyes at the 1969 Winternationals? Experiencing drag races were a right-of-passage to adulthood for young fans back in the day. Mainstay floppers like the L.A. Hooker and the feared Barry Setzer Vega will forever fuel our veins with the nitro-powered memories of our favorite drivers battling for glory every race day in head-to-head combat. The funny car heroes of yesteryear are immortalized in Auto World's Legends of the Quarter Mile.

The Blue Max moniker first appeared at the 1970 Winternationals on a Ford Mustang Funny Car owned by Funny Car pioneer Harry Schmidt. Blue Max was one of the most popular cars drag racing and began to gain a reputation for speed, wins and breaking records at the tracks. Auto World has painstakingly recreated this beautiful 1971 Ford Mustang Funny car with over 120 parts, stunning paint and graphics, a completely plumbed and wired engine, a die-cast tubular chassis and detailed wheels. This beautiful 1971 Blue Max Ford Mustang Funny car makes the perfect addition to any drag racing display or collection.
