One of the neatest exhibition machines to ever hit the drag strip has come up for sale. The updated Emergency West wheelstander is on the block and it’s coming almost totally complete. The new owner will need to plug in a set of big block Chevy engines and a pair of Turbo 400 transmissions but after that, it’s on baby!
This is actually an updated version of the original Emergency West truck that Richard Schroeder drove for about 20 years at drag strips across the country. The 1970s crew cab style body has been updated to a later model crew cab, the chassis has been updated to current specs and the reality is that this thing is damned close to race condition. Obviously we’re not downplaying the engines here but you could put a set of budget built, iron headed big blocks with 8-71s on them back there and be on your way.
This is a neat shot for someone to own an iconic and freshened drag racing exhibition vehicle. Is it YOU?
