Folks Of Interest Ed " Big Daddy " Roth's Autographed Actual Shop Door Can Be Yours !

I was close found it .the Booger Buggy

 

Looks to be a misprint of the door description from the auction company. How can the main door to Roth's studio be only 28 inches tall? You would have to get down on your hands and knees to enter the studio. Perhaps a repost would be in order with the correct door measurements.

 

BULLSHIT!!!!! I WOULDN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING SHE SAID. I TRIED TO TALK TO HER AT A SHOW IN VEGAS, TO TELL HER ED WAS MY GODFATHER AND SALLY WAS MY MOMS BEST FRIEND, AND SHE PUT HER HAND UP AND WALKED AWAY. LOST ALL RESPECT...RIGHT THERE. AND HER SON TRYING TO REPRESENT HIMSELF AS EDS "SON". VULCHERS....LIVING OFF EDS BONES.

 

THE THING FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOP, THAT WOULD BE WORTH "HUGE" MONEY, IS THE DOOR OFF THE FRIDGE! IT HAD A RATFINK ON IT AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER STUFF SIGNED ON IT. I KNOW THERE'S A PIC OF IT IN THE ROTH BOOK, IN THE BACKGROUND. HE LIKED TO DOODLE ON EVERYTHING....
YES, IT'S TRUE....THERE WAS DRAWINGS ALL OVER THE WALLS.

 

Is that door even an solid core exterior door? It sure does't look like one in the video,. Or was the door to his shop inside another building which might explain why he would have a cheap interior door as his "entrance" door. And the accounts seem to be coming in saying that it wasn't the door at his shop. The other thing they can do is go to his old shop and measure the entrance door opening.. If the door doesn't match the measurements, opens the wrong way like wrong side outside with no weather marks on the door, then they again have all the proof they need that the facts posted here are true. Going ahead with listing the item and setting a date tells me they have every intention of selling it with the lie. If in the worse case the proof is overwhelming, they will simply add a brief statement at the auction that will barely get noticed and let the people that don't pay attention buy the lie. That is how dishonest auction companies do it. and despite everyone that has said this company is honest, their actions speak louder than their words. I'm watching to see just how honest and reputable this auction company really is.

 

Dude....How many times does it have to be said? It wasn't Ed's door....

 

Dude, you know that, I know that, but apparently the auction company is claiming they don't know that and are continuing the lie for profit. Stating how easy it is to verify the truth should prompt the auction company to do the right thing, since they are watching this thread.

 

i concur! lol

 

Bad Bob and Moriarity will probably be called as witnesses in the fraud lawsuit a year from now.

Exhibit A: The shop photo from Minnesota
Exhibit B: This thread printed out and read before the jury.

 

HAHAHA

 

I don't know anyone involved here personally, but I could have sworn there was a video tour of the shop and he talked about having Ed come to his house and sign it one morning during a car show. Because I know I had heard the story before about that door, either on here, MFS, or some other youtube clip.

I'm at work, but I can check later. I have the DVD at home or it is on TUBI streaming service.

Well, at the very least, no active HAMB members are going to buy it…

 

Take a look at these two pictures. Unless I’m mistaken, and I could be, the closeup of the artwork on the interior of the door shows the hole for the door knob mechanism on the right and the hinges on the left. It would obviously be the opposite from the outside.
Take a look at the exterior photo I cropped. It’s not great resolution, but I don’t see any sigh of a door know on the left, where it should be if this door were on that building.
Does anyone have a photo of the exterior of the building that clearly shows from which side the door hinges?

 

This is interesting ....

There are three people visible in the Donley Auctions Roth door video. Randy Donley, Greg Gram, and Mike Donley. Starting at roughly 1:47 of the video Greg states as fact "this door was in his shop, this is a picture of him in his shop". Greg doesn't state that the picture was apparently, allegedly, purportedly or "I've been led to believe" taken at Roth's shop, he states "this IS a picture of Roth's shop". At that point, a voice I assume is Mike Donley's states "that's his shop I was at, Flawson (or whatever) Avenue, Maywood California". Mike is basically stating as FACT "that's Roth's shop all right, I was there, it's the one Roth had in Maywood California", backing up what Greg stated. These two are literally claiming "the picture included in the auction IS Roth's shop" and one is claiming he can attest to that fact as "he was there, that IS his shop". Wow ...

There are other items/details visible in the auction pic, a wall clock etc ... surely there are pics out there of Roth's shop that will show nothing in the pic that is included in the auction matches Roth's actual shop. Too bad Moriarity's pic doesn't show the area above and to the left of the door in his friends shop

Who's got pics taken inside Roth's shop?

On a happier note, I have a pretty good idea which auction house I am going to use when I go to sell my 1978 factory 4WD Corvette that was bought new by Henry Fords great-grandfather that was then gifted to Benjamin Franklin as a wonderful bar mitzvah gift

 

I can’t add anything but I would take @Moriarity word about the history of this door. He is not a bullshitter…

 

:LOL:

I saw "von dutch" hanging out, with a beer, at Betz Speed & Color shop several times.... I never even said Hi to him. ........... I only knew he was the guy that painted that "ugly" stuff on Stan's El Camino :LOL:

Moriarity has a pic of his friends shop and a story to go with it.

The three "salesmen" have a picture of Moriarity's friends shop while claiming it's actually Roth's shop. Kind of interesting how the two pictures share identical door trim and wall color

 

That's the fashion these days... repeat a lie enough times and it becomes true.
