This man & his Dodge Truck are legendary. We who love Mopars will NEVER Forget who the king of wheel stands is . RIP Bill Maverick Golden .

Scott Your uncle is a legend And thanks for keeping these up for the fans to watch. May he rest in peace God bless

There just isn't men anymore who have a thimble of integrity as this man. He has brought so much happiness to so many for so long. GOD BLESS MAVERICK AND YOUR LOVED ONES. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

I was in school in the early 70's in Searcy Ark at Morris School for boys. When we came to town &everyone was going to movies or 'cat'n around I went to Bills shop when he was home just to admire, watch & learn. I was aapest at times L.O.L..... I Loved your unk Scott, he was agood friend. Wish I could get back in touch with Teresa too. Great man, great family, wonderful legacy....

I first saw the Little Red Wagon race in 1966 or 67. The first of many times through the years. The man made history with his career. I am in my low 60s now. I built many plastic models of the Wagon. I just collect diecast cars now and it would be great if a 1/18th scale diecast of the Red Wagon came out. I have a lot of great memories of being with my late Dad at various races in the 60s.

I think it was so cool "Maverick" & "Big Daddy" had a cross on their machines...need all the help you can get!!! So fun being a Mopar fan!!!

I remember seeing him back when I was a kid in the 90s at Great Lakes Dragway! Good times

Thank-You!!!! Bill, I saw your truck run many times 70's + Thank-You !!! For something you pioneered and perfected! I will never forget the runs I saw as a young kid, Awesome!!!!!! Huge inspiration. National Trails Cols. Ohio!!!!

Great video met Bill in early 90s all ways wanted an A100 because of him Poppin wheelies. Such a humble man . He loved his fans and always stopped to talk to them no matter how busy and autograph. one of the last true showman's.

Lake Charles Dragway at Old Chenault Air Base in the mid to late 70's. All they had was bleachers and a food trailer and a tin building for the clock tower. (ground level). Little Red Wagon also. That was pretty cool. He didn't care how big or small and he truly could "wheel stand the 1\4 on any surface." I think was what he said?

I bought a model of the Red Wagon back in 1992;it had his phone number in the box so I called and left a message;don't really remember what I said.I didn't really expect to hear back but low and behold on New Years morning 1993 he did call and we had a fantastic conversation about everything from drag racing to his ex wives.What a great guy😊

I got to work on one with a 10 liter Arias motor, chopped top, and gull wing doors, jag rear end and it rode the quarter mile wheelies. I'm 6 ft 1 and I could rest my elbow on the roof. Ron said that it was a handfull to keep strait. It had a plexus glass floor so you could see where you going while on a wheelie. It was a cool truck and a sure one of a kind. It was in Vancouver Wa in the 90's.

Bill!!!! My brother... you are the best!!! Of the best!!! Of all times and for ever... God bless you!!!!

Love this old Dodge. Met Maverick at the Oswego Dragway on HyWy 34 when I was just 12 years old. Then went on to see him at Union Grove Dragway in Wisconsin for many years after that. Also remember the Shy Town Hustler, my favorite funny car! Sure do miss those days.

He lived on my street in Sun valley in the 60's and I cried the day he told me he was moving but he did give me all his hobby junk which I wish I still had but I'm happy about these videos.

I SAW THIS IN LONG ISLAND AT THE RACE TRACK. AMAZING IN PERSON !!!

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know he had passed. I was showing my boys memories from my past and The Little Red Wagon was right up there with the Denim Machine, Corvette Summer, Billy's Beer Truck, etc. Sorry for your loss.

Saw him and the little red wagon back in 1975 at Lebanon Valley dragway in N.Y.

Got pictures of the red wagon and fugitive Corvette wheel standing at Lakeland dragstrip ,Lakeland Tennessee, great show. Great era to grow up in. Thx!

Used to see him at New England dragway in New Hampshire. Great guy. Very down to earth.

Ive always loved this truck.Right on Maverick!!

He was one of the nicest guys. I met him when I was a kid at the drag strip in Pearl, MS. My father was racing in super stock. Bill was in the staging lanes for a run and it was looking like it was going to rain and asked me if I would help the push the truck back to his trailer before it rained. I’ll never forget that. I had to have been like 12 years old.

You put a big smile on my face.

This truck and several other vintage drag cars were sold at the Mecum car auction in Kissimmee Florida 2020. Bill was quite a driver to be doing shows for as long as he did.

I have the model and loved that truck since I was a kid. Classic. Great vidio👍🏻😎

Sure glad I was see him race down the track numerous times. I also have the 1:64 scale of the Little Red Wagon. R.I.P. King of the Wheel Standers, you are missed. ✌️

thank you for shearing the video bro. So hopefully the future kids can know how old school cars can be awesome. My friend who just seen the video is 40 years old didn't know so it's great to shear Cool New Old Stuff!

seen him many times at broadway bobs great lakes dragaway union grove wisconsin, there was a couple shots of the track in the video with the fire burnout and the tower in the middle of the track great memory,s

I'd give anything to see this thing w/my own two eyes.

I saw him in my early teens (late 70's) at Keystone raceway by accident. We parked on the side if the track about 3/4 down the track. At night it was INCREDIBLE.

love wheelstanders i've got my little red wagon signed by the man himself before he passed away

I will always think of OCIR when I saw him for the first time I was 14 and I am 58 now

I feel lucky to own the trailer that is shown at the 3:14 mark in the video. What a piece of history.

I had "the Hot Wheels " truck when I was a kid in the 60's & 70',s

My dad had one like this.but it was the Ford Econoline version

Your uncle came to Hawaii Raceway Park way back in 1965 . Yeah , the good ole days .

Rip bill maverick golden love any dodge wheel stander but this and hemi under glas was my favorite

That Was Badass Brother! Thank You

"WHY DO IT ON 4 WHEN YOU CAN DO IT ON 2"‼️😎

I remember him at Oswego Drag Raceway in Illinois Fabolous show every time even against the Hemi under glass

What a great guy, and his wife is also special

The Little Red Wagon is up for auction in a couple days, ‘20 Mecum Kissimmee. Incredible machine

AWESOME.....MOPAR FOREVER !

A true showman indeed!

COOL WAY TO GO BILL

I saw him at Carlsbad Raceway in 71 or 72. It was really cool.

great guy i met him at chrysler classic..my girlfriend and i was getting married there and he offered to ride us up in the back of the little red wagon ....super nice guy he will be missed

That is the best stuff. Thanks...🐳🦆🦆🦆🐞

I met your uncle in the 70's, Great Guy!!!!

Respect! Cool guy!

Just learned that he passed. God Speed

Great video

I love it!!

I was one of at your brother house in Minooka Il mid 60

That second car, the stagecoach, is my uncle. He built that car.

Man I'm bummed. I had his hat.

True “King👑” of the sport “Drag Racing!...fans best not forget this effort!!..it truly is Motorsports entertainment! NHRA and the like should bring this back at tracks but run it as a competitive class!! Can be done with regulations and safety looked after!! 10sec runs on a wheelie!..too quick and ya break out!..too slow and ya lose!!...simple!...two vehicles front wheels up to the finish line!..🏁💨👍🏾..that would pack ‘em in huh!? Plenty of vehicles as you read this ready for competition!! Let’s get it done sanctioning bodies!!..☝🏾🏁✨Whew Hoo!!

Real gold ❤

138 miles per hour on the back wheels

COOL RICHIE......HERE........STILL MISS BILL...............

Thanks my father was one of his chiropractic Dr Maves

I seen the original back in 1969 Tampa Florida speedway

That's how I drive around Pomona...

You are missed Bill

called him one night many years ago and told him a story of me being in grade three and finding a book in the library of my school that was called the hostory of drag racing and it had the little red wagon up in the air leaves an impression on you for life i was supposed to send him some money he was going to send me a shit load of cool autographed stuff postrs videos t-shirts i lost the number wondering if he's still alive and can i get in touch with him want my goodies lol!

Nice

He is the O.G. and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee best

Created by d o g e ❤Tim glad he did what he did ❤❤❤❤

All free ❤

How do you see where you are going

🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

The first!!!!

I lave thes

A TESLA could never do that.

Balancing all the weight on the rear wheels doesn't really impress me much. Leave the engine up front and then do some wheelies. I would be way more impressed, even with shorter wheelies. Evil kenevil had a wheelie car that a man could pick up the front by hand! Not much challenge there.
