Vehicle Description
This 1959 Opel Wagon was transformed into a dragster vehicle by
Walt Gibson and raced at the Fontana Speedway in California. While
the exterior remains mostly unchanged, all non-visible mechanical
components were modified for racing. Powered by a 455ci Buick V8
engine mated to an automatic transmission with a B&A Pro
Ratchet shifter. The tube-frame chassis with a built-in roll cage
enhances the structure while the position of the engine requires
components to be replaced from the inside of the car.
