AUCTION: “Little Red Wagon” Wheelstander Heads To The Auction Block!​

Iconic HEMI-Powered Wheelstander Could Be Yours...​

It all started in 1964 when Jim Schaeffer and John Collier built the original Little Red Wagon to match race in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Altered Factory Experimental (A/FX) class. Bolting a 7.0-liter (426 cubic-inch) HEMI V8 into the bed of a Dodge A100 cab-over pickup created hair-raising driving characteristics, so Dick Branstner Enterprises and Roger Lindamood were brought in to make it work. It was still an almost impossible vehicle to pilot; the geometry and physics just weren’t there. However, Jay Howell drove Little Red Wagon at Lion’s Drag Strip in 1965, the truck’s first public appearance, performing a nose-up pass that astonished fans and made the cover of Chrysler’s shop magazine, Bin & Bench.
