I saw this listing this morning out of M***. I knew I had to post it here. I would bet there will be plenty of opinions as to its validity. https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...place_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
I'm surprised by it low 7500. Price tag.. Hell a fake/misrepresented Ed Roth signed shop door was a min 5000 ! and this car has magazine pic/article behind it ! ...
I can't access the fb link, but this car was for sale a few years ago on CL. is it the same car? they were claiming it to be a Roth build at that time. It was NOT built by Roth , It was built by Bob Knessel . there is some speculation that possibly Roth painted or striped it for them after it was built but Roth did not build it.. https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Bob_Knessel's_Sports_Custom
Yes @Moriarity same car although a lot cheaper !! It looks to be in the exact same condition as the article you posted. Nothing more or nothing less appears to have been done since that listing and this current FB posting.... ...
These are always fun for the investigative reporting so many members here are known for. It never disappoints how fast a car can be identified and at the same time have the curtain pulled open!
Other than his Ford pickup which was just a paint job, the Lil' Jewel which was a pedestrian '32 sedan street rod, his '55 Chevy which was a cheesy 'g***er', his Tweedy Pie T-bucket which he got credit for but didn't build, Roth never worked in steel. His true customs were all fibergl*** sculptures, not custom cars. Ed generally thought Detroit steel was uninspired junk.
