Hot Rods "Crate" Hot Rods?

I was checking out the new edition of Speedway Motors' catalog and saw an ad for "crate" hot rods...I guess a steel 32 Ford Roadster with all the appurtances? Says it would be road worthy in less than one week after delivery! No pricing listed, says you need to call for pricing and availability.

Is this the future of hot-rodding? LOL

 

Who cares.

 

They've had them for a few years now. I seem to remember that they're around $45k or so. Complete except no engine/transmission. Otherwise DONE. Never seen one though. Well, at least no one that would admit it..............

 

only in red

 

The cat loves that idea...



...I think it's kinda dumb myself

 

Where i come from crate rods are called kit cars!

 

Us cats gotta stick together...

 

Wheres the fun in that?

 

Here's a thread about them from 2005. Seems like they were around $50,000.00 when they came out.

Street rodder did a build up in there mag. Its about 50,000 and Its chuck full of chinese parts.

I think it took two short articles to ***emble there 32 roadster. Bolt in crate 350 and th350 ******. Cut hole for shifter. Done. Brakes are even bled before delivery.
