Little Red Wagon Socks
Main Tag:
Description: The Little Red Wagon was an exhibition drag racing truck introduced in 1965. It was the first wheelstanding truck and as well as the world's fastest truck at the time. Builders Jim Schaeffer and John Collier performed extensive modifications to the A100 in order to fit a 426 Hemi engine and TorqueFlite automatic transmission in a mid engine position in the truck bed, within a welded steel subframe. The Little Red Wagon's first dragstrip run netted a mid-11 second quarter mile at 120 mph. The vehicle was not originally intended to perform wheelstands, but the rearward weight bias caused the nose to lift in the air for nearly the entire quarter-mile run, quickly becoming a fan favorite at the track.
