Mopar Dodge//SRT Top Fuel Dragster and 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A

Two Mopars at opposite extremes — a 1970 Trans Am-homologation Challenger T/A and a 11,000-hp NHRA Top Fuel dragster.

Set #76904 2021 627 pieces 8-stud Retired

The 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A was built to homologate Dodge’s SCCA Trans Am Series racer for the road — 2,539 cars, all 340 cubic-inch six-pack-induction small-blocks, all manuals or three-speed automatics. Fifty-three years later, Mopar’s NHRA Top Fuel programme runs nitromethane-fed Hemi engines that make over 11,000 hp for four-second runs. This dual set pairs them.

NHRA Top Fuel is the loudest, fastest drag racing on earth — 11,000-horsepower nitromethane-burning rails covering 1,000 feet in under four seconds. Mopar's NHRA programme paired the dragster with a wheelstanding 1970 Dodge Challenger funny car promo: same paint scheme, same Mopar//SRT branding, two very different ways of getting from one end of the strip to the other. The set is a pit-lane snapshot of how the team campaigns both classes side by side.

NHRA TOP FUEL

Mopar Dodge//SRT Top Fuel Dragster

11,000-hp nitromethane drag car

Top Fuel dragsters are the fastest accelerating land vehicles on Earth. They use a supercharged 500-cubic-inch Hemi-architecture engine running on nitromethane fuel; combustion is so violent that the engines are rebuilt between every run.

Mopar’s factory Top Fuel programme runs Don Schumacher Racing operations, with Tony Schumacher and Leah Pruett among recent drivers. Quarter-mile elapsed times sit around 3.6 seconds at over 530 km/h.

TRANS AM HOMOLOGATION

1970 Dodge Challenger T/A

340 Six-Pack street muscle

The Challenger T/A was Dodge’s entry into the 1970 SCCA Trans Am championship. Production rules required street versions; 2,539 were built across a single model year. Each used the 340-cubic-inch small-block with three two-barrel carburettors — the “Six-Pack” induction setup — for a 290-hp factory rating that was widely understood to be conservative.

Distinctive features include the matte-black side-stripe, ducktail rear spoiler, and the offset bonnet scoop; the rear leaf springs were set with a deliberate rear-end rake. The T/A and its Plymouth equivalent (the AAR ’Cuda) both ran the 1970 Trans Am season; neither won the championship.

Engine
340 cu-in (5.6L) V8 with three 2-bbl carbs, 290 hp factory
Production
2,539 units (1970 only)
Body
E-body Challenger
Reason for existence
SCCA Trans Am homologation

Display ideas

  • Park the dragster diagonally — its length needs angled placement to fit a standard shelf.
  • Pair with 76912 (Dom’s Charger) or 76904 to anchor a wider Mopar shelf.

People

Mopar drag racing is a culture. The names below tie the dragster and the Challenger to the people who keep American Hemi racing on the strip and the brand that funds them.

Leah Pruett

Mopar Top Fuel driver

Pruett has driven Mopar-badged Top Fuel dragsters in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series and represents the modern face of Mopar's nitromethane programme. The dragster in this set wears Mopar//SRT branding consistent with the team livery she ran during this set's 2021 release window.

Tim Kuniskis

Then-Dodge//SRT brand boss

Kuniskis ran the Dodge//SRT brand through the late-2010s/early-2020s muscle-car renaissance and signed off on the marketing strategy that paired the Top Fuel programme with the Hellcat-era street cars. The Mopar branding linking these two cars in one set reflects his playbook.

George Hurst

Hurst Performance founder (1970 Challenger T/A era)

Hurst Performance built the shifters and the Hemi-shaker hoods that defined the 1970-71 Mopar muscle-car peak. The 1970 Challenger T/A in this set's promo livery represents that era — when American manufacturers raced what they sold and sold what they raced.

The build

The 1970 Challenger T/A

The Challenger T/A is rendered in classic Sub-Lime green with matt-black hood and side stripe — a printed bonnet element captures the offset shaker scoop. The T/A name (Trans Am) refers to the SCCA series Dodge homologated the car for, though here the build wears a drag-promo livery rather than a Trans Am racing scheme.

The wheel choice is deliberate: rear tyres wider than fronts, a wheelstanding stance, and the chrome bumper detail running across the front. The build sits low at the front and high at the rear — the silhouette of a strip car, not a road car.

The Top Fuel dragster

The dragster's long wheelbase is delivered with extended Technic-style chassis bricks under a thin body shell. Stickers cover the side-pod and rear wing — the orange-and-black Mopar//SRT scheme.

The exposed Hemi V8 is a single moulded element with chrome injector trumpets — the part runs across multiple Speed Champions sets but works particularly well here. The driver position is a small cockpit element behind the engine, true to the rear-engined Top Fuel layout.

Why this pairing matters

Mopar's NHRA programme is the modern continuation of the brand's 1960s-70s muscle-car racing identity. Pairing the dragster with a 1970 Challenger isn't arbitrary — it's the same Hemi-V8 lineage, the same Mopar//SRT marketing strategy, and the same drag-racing culture across two eras.

Display pairing: 75893 (Demon and Charger R/T, 2019) is the natural shelf companion for an all-Mopar muscle line.
