The Defiance, racing rig, and the Defiant racing 66 Ford Econoline. Looks like someone wasn't hesitating in spending their kids inheritance!


The Wheelstander List and the Wheelstanding Fan Club has the race truck as the 1980 White Freightliner "Defiance" owned by Jerry McBee. And 1966 Econoline with an alky 392

The truck was bought by Tyrone Malone and repainted pink. The truck is in Hastings Minnesota now, in the Stagecoach Museum with the Super Boss exhibition truck of Malone.  After Tyrone Malone's death his vehicle collection was sold intact to the owner of Stagecoach Express.
