This pic was taken at a car show. The Little Blue Wagon was built back in the mid 60's and was the first wheelstander in Canada. The owner was asked by Maverick Golden to remove the name cause it was too close to the Little Red Wagon. So then it was re-named the Ontario Wheelstander. The original truck I believe was wrecked or parted out or something like that and this truck is a replica of it. The original truck used a subframe with the motor placed in the normal position. The replica truck has the motor turned backwards and uses a v-drive, basically the same set up as the 1970 L.A. Dart wheelstander. This truck is also a Fargo too, still has the Fargo badges on the doors and nose. If you are into Atlantic Canada racers and you being from PEI you must know the name Barrie Poole? Barrie is a good friend of our family, he was actually the guy who assembled my Hemi for me. He was back on the island about 2 weeks ago.
