Coolest Pedal Car Ever!!

besides the monster theme, this thing is awsome. i thought i had more pics of it... oh well. check it out.

 

Looks more like a down hill racer than a pedal car....still cool though..

 

Isn't that one of boyd coddingtons employees? Oh No, I said the B word.

oh well, cant read em all. still cool.

 

It's a soapbox car for the XGR racing that had auto makers build soapbox cars. I think it sold on e-bay for around 5-8 k!! Not an SFVISBF racer for sure, they'd be too worried about getting it scratched up.

If it is the same, pretty sure it is, just proves how much paint can change something. Liked it before. I like it alot more now.

 

That was a feature on American Hot Rod tv show a couple of years ago.

pretty kick *** but not worth $8,000 to me

 

That thing is sweet. I hope my son does not see that pic or he will want one.

 

Actually,that's a Foose Design Gravity Downhill racer AKA Soapbox Derby Racer...Built for a charity auction..Front and rear IFS with disc brakes and all..

 

It is Boyd's people.....

Probably the coolest thing to come out of Boyd's shop in a looong time....

 

Sorry,I was mistaken,from what I heard,Foose Designs built something like that also..

 

I like this one

 

Man,you should see these little chopped Merc push strollers they're making around here for the kiddies..

 

Being a pedalcar guy, my favorite of all time is the 56 Murray Good Humor. I had 10 of these at one time... traded most of them off.

 

And us kids use to make 'em out of wood and nails we found at building sites, rebar axles and baby carriage wheels, broomstick steering columns.

 

Here's a link to some Ford Roadster strollers..

Here's a guy with another one..Makes me want to have a kid just so he/she can have one of these things..

Thats awsome!

 

It was designed and built by Brandon Smisek.He did it all from clay to mold and fibergl*** shell in his garage.Thomas and his crew did the chasis at his new shop he was still at boyds when it all started, he left there towards the end.

 

Here's a few pics of some pedal-cars I took a couple weeks ago at 'Paso'. The green Deuce with black scallops was designed and built by Chip Foose. The cars will be raffled off for charity.

 

I think this is pretty cool. All original from front to back.

 

I'll take it!

 

my son's RPU is usually the lowest one @ all the shows:


Herb martinez dragging pinky on it.
