#A1806511 - Pre-Sold Out - expected in November (updated 9/30/24) in 1:18 scale is a 1965 Plymouth Altered Wheelbase (AWB) car named Mister Speed. This car is being produced by ACME using the highly detailed Highway 61 tooling. It will feature a lift off hood, a fuel injected Hemi, opening doors, a detailed race interior, a nicely detailed chassis and opening trunk. Don’t wait on this one, because only 504 will be made and then they will be gone.
Anyone witnessing the strip-shaking performances of today's 275-mph 5-second AA/Funny Cars will find it difficult to connect those thundering acceleration machines with the purely pedestrian daily drivers found in a typical new-car dealer's showroom. However, if we turn the clock back the mid-'60s, the relationship between these contemporary competition cars and yesterday's store-bought "grocery getters" can be seen more clearly.
Chrysler's corporate drag racing efforts went extreme in 1965 with a handful of purpose-built drag machines born of the muscle car era's "win at all costs" mentality. The 1965 Plymouth Factory Altered Wheelbase cars and their Dodge counterparts resulted from a cutthroat battle between Ford and Chrysler for victory in the NHRA's Super Stock and A/Factory Experimental A/FX classes.
