The Little Red Wagon became a legend in its time as the first "wheelstander" back in 1965. The world's fastest truck was a major hit with fans, and ran at drag strips throughout the US. Its owner and driver, Bill "Maverick" Golden, was used in Dodge truck commercials, while many photographers caught the Wagon with its front wheels in the air.
The Dodge A-100 compact pickup, with its short 90 inch wheelbase, was normally powered by a slant six, but Jim Schaeffer and John Collier modified it to put in a legendary 426 Hemi engine, with roughly four times the horsepower of the six. Rather than putting the "elephant engine" under the hood, they stuck it behind the cab, in front of the rear wheels, which required cutting a whole into the pickup bed and another into the cab itself. The result is actually better weight distribution than the standard A-100 (48 front, 52 rear vs 58/42), but it's rather less practical for getting groceries or lumber, since the engine extends into both the cab and the short bed. The Hemi, incidentally, was connected directly to a TorqueFlite automatic, and was supported via a heavy-duty welded steel subframe.
