    That's the best Roth car in my opinion.

    "That's the best Roth car in my opinion."

    Yeah, one of mine too. But it's not really a 'Roth' car. Not built by him from the ground up like his others...

    I wonder if the person that buys it is going to take their shoes off before they get into the car too (look beneath the car in pic #2). If I paid over 6 figures for a car I sure would. Regardless of Roth's involvement it's a great piece of hot rod history. I'll be keeping my eye on what it goes for.

    I probably wouldn't be able to afford shoes anymore if I spent that much $$$. I would have no choice. I'd have to be barefoot.

    It's a cool car! I don't think it will bring more than $75k. But you never know....Jesse's '36 went for $150k or so! Who knows....

    I am with some of you, I don't think it will bring the $330K it got before.

    "Runs 92 in quarter'"? 92 seconds I guess. Stunningly fast.

    92 mph, in the early days of Drag Racing they were more concerned with the Top Speed than ET.

    Tweety Pie is my all time favorite T-bucket. I love the stubby proportions. If I built one I'd "clone" it except for the purple paint. I can't stand purple.
