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

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

For a photo of Tom McEwens "Mongoose" dragster funny car hauler: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-aV7vxf-k-vfzpz_HM8iO_u2zxTLNCSC-kq7xs_kiobeYY8Mh7ZdyHomY-OIaXgt8wbQKPSdRajH3y0EkAoJk6LeXRZiyF2eVw3iU2TNOvblglMKprn9tL9VVCwALQkQqRxVoBtQMIM/s1600-h/hfmkjg.bmp
