Red Wagon, not a replica, but what is described as the refurbished former show truck in fully working order.

This item up for bidding is Little Red Wagon #4, raced until August of this year by Maverick himself. Since the original truck was destroyed in a horrific crash, this unit was totally refurbished in '93 and is reportedly ready to run by just adding methanol to it's 13 to 1 injected 426 Hemi.

You can see Little Red Wagon #6 at the Garlits Museum, but this great piece of history can be yours with a starting reserve of $125,000 or utilize the Buy-It-Now function and plunk down a cool $500,000. According to the Maverick, he'll train the lucky buyer if they want to run it, but it's time to hang up his helmet and spend some time with his wife. [9-30-2003]
