PRE=ORDER - THE WHITE WAGON - THE CAR THAT PUT GENE FULTON ON THE MAP

NOTE - Will ship by June 15.

Before the championships, before the Hall of Fame recognition, and before Gene Fulton became one of the most respected names in sportsman drag racing, there was a plain white 1964 Chevy II wagon.

Purchased for less than $200 on a used car lot in Texas after Fulton returned from military service, the unassuming wagon became one of the most feared race cars in Southeastern drag racing. What looked like a grocery getter to everyone else became a championship-winning machine that carried Fulton to three world titles and helped build the Spartanburg, S.C., engine shop he still operates today.

Known simply as "The White Wagon," the car earned a reputation for unbeatable traction on rough racetracks and a toughness that matched its owner. Fulton often said the wagon paid for the business he built and launched the career that made him a drag racing legend.

This exclusive CompetitionPlusStore.com heritage design celebrates one of the most unlikely success stories in drag racing history — a refrigerator-white station wagon that became a champion and a symbol of determination, ingenuity, and winning against the odds.

For those who appreciate the cars that built the sport, this one belongs in your collection.
