Picture the scene. Its the middle of the seventies, that showrod you put together in the sixties is showing it's age after a decade on the show circuit and you just KNOW there's gonna be some kinda mechanical mishap round the bend. Flat battery, bubbletop blowing away in the wind, Barris signed it whilst you weren't looking - you know the deal. But how to get it back to the garage? Towrope? Nope. Lowloader? Nope. Its gotta be something fly. Enter The Hangman.
Based on the earlier Dragon Wagon kit, this TD design is a little less desirable in collectors circles thanks to a mid nineties reissue, but it's thanks to that reissue that I've got this one in my collection, stashed away for another forty years or so.
Dig the noose tow-rope, the distinctive single-coil sprung front axle and those cool drag-style 12 spoke front wheels.
