the wagon wheels sorta throw me... there aren't any indications of an engine, or horse hookups, so is this mechaincal? Or just gravity drive?

Jay Leno talks to Don Prudhomme about the 70 Hemicuda and transporter

I'm sorry, the videos were pulled by Vimeo or whoever had hosted them

For a photo gallery of Don's hemicuda and transporter that I took at SEMA: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/don-prudhommes-funny-car-hauler-1967.html

I also recommend you take a look at Tere's post, Don invited her to hop inside the hauler as he showed her how it was restored: http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2009/11/sema-celebrities.html

Top photo, a photographer with no fear, bottom a streamliner beer truck

Don Prudhomme's funny car hauler, 1967 Dodge C-700

Don was hooking up the batteries in order to turn on the radio...
So he could show some people how things worked inside, and then asked my girlfriend http://justakargal.blogspot.com/ to hop up inside and was showing her the radio, a/c and stuff...
To explain why Don bought a 67 truck in 69, I need to tell you that before Don bought it used, it was the hauler for Sox and Martin, and you can see that here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/nikollas-digs-up-coolest-photos-of-drag.html

For a restoration story on the hauler, and a video from inside it where Don drove a couple reporters to lunch: http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/page/10/ just a 1/4 of the way down the page, since the direct links don't work

If you love haulers and transporters, then look down to the 2nd half of my hauler posts: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/hauler
