Strip Tripper was an FE Wheelstander from the early 70's that featured a rear mounted 'Cusso' V8.
Check out the colour shot from the cover of Aust Hot Rod, sept '71.

That is cool, how can I get mine to do that but with a red six up front.
looks even better in colour ..thanks alex.
fccool..dunno..ask ken or dr terry :-/
i guess he steers it with independant rear brakes.
heres another quick looking fe/fc
I can see how the independent brakes would steer it a little... but have a look at his line of sight! It wouldnt matter if he was blindfolded - the vision is zero!
I think it would be pretty scary :o

Although not visible in the photo, I believe the car had a hole in the flor for vision. Some captions I have on the car state that it could actually be driven round corners using the rear wheel brakes alone.
