Vintage 1997 Racing Champions Car: Mark Osborne MaMa Rosa's Pro Stock. In memory of Leslie Lovet. Measures about 9" in length. The top and bottom separate. Good condition. Has some paint scrapes.
This 1997 Racing Champions die-cast model captures a memorable piece of 90s drag racing history: the MaMa Rosa's Pizza Pontiac Firebird piloted by veteran Pro Stock competitor Mark Osborne. Measuring approximately 9" in length, this 1/24 scale replica features the classic red and white team colors used during the 1997 NHRA Winston Drag Racing Series. A deeply personal touch on this specific model is the tribute decal dedicated to Leslie Lovett, the legendary NHRA photographer whose work defined the visual history of the sport for decades.
Osborne, a three-time national event winner, was a major contender in the highly competitive Pro Stock category before transitioning to Pro Stock Trucks in the late 90s. The model is built with the high-quality die-cast construction Racing Champions is known for, including a removable body shell that provides a "garage-view" of the complex engine piping and safety cage. It is a fantastic crossover collectible for NHRA enthusiasts, fans of 90s racing memorabilia, or those who appreciate the unique history of the "Professor of the Pro Stock" era.
This item is vintage, over 25 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
