Description[]

This casting is a representation of a funny car with a second-generation Pontiac Firebird body.

This casting was named Side-Splitter for its 1995 release, a name which would also be used for its successor for some releases. This release is also notable for having a highly valuable misprinted card (271 instead of 277) of which around only 12 examples are known to exist.
