So many GR8 roadsters, so little money.......
Flatheads, Y-Blocks, Nailheads & Rockets...
I have one of each if i had deeper pockets !

 

I should have called this thread "Show Us Your Favorite Roadster(s)" because just like potato chips i can't have just one.
Here are two more of my favorites.

Ray Brown's 99c

 

At 216 I was Elvis.

 

I wish it had been in a popular movie.

 

My pal Ryan @lodaddyo built one of the sickest roadsters around. Everything about this car is just pure AWESOMENESS!











And this is a real hot rod dash....all old skool SW 2 5/8" gauges from the 40's and early 50's.

 

I'm fairly partial to this one. It's a friend of mine's and I don't think I would change a thing about it... except maybe the name on the title. Lol. wstory did a thread on here called "foldable stowable top" that he built for it and it's worth a look, the center section zips out leaving a screen mesh that gives you the outside roadster feeling but offers some relief from the sun. Pretty cool

 

@Speed~On youre too kind! Thanks man!

 

Okay, I'll try again. 30-31, Brookville, 283 SBC, TH 350 and more. Recently sold.

 

OH HO! That is sweet!

 

The car was ran by a guy named Mitchell Rasansky from Dallas TX. I found some color shots Here:

The 1st version of Larry Eave's '32. Sorry I don't have a better pic. Does anyone have the whole article? I think it is from the Nov 1951 Hot Rod. The 2nd iteration had welded on rear fenders and cycle fronts. It was rebuilt a 3rd and final time after he wrecked it at Bonneville in 1953. I prefer this version.


Does anyone have this article?

 

The Edsel Ford 32 speedster, restored by Jim Gombos and the Barillaro brothers.

 

This is Shane Powel’s 32. With a 69’s vibe, but a tad lower, Westcott body, drilled I beam, black tnr, fuel injected 4-71 lime green 327, about 4 inches off the ground, built 32 years ago, spot on and probably my favourite Roadster.

 

But, if you’re talking roadster pickups, this is my favourite, evolving over many years, this steel RPU has a 350 on a39 box to a quickie rear, has held fastest car at Pendine, and is spot on.

 

Two of MY favorites

 

Real engine

 

For today anyway...this one.

 

I like mine, because it was owned and built by the late Jack Stirnamin back in the day

 

This has been my favorite roadster for a long time. Captain Charles Adams '32 race car in 1947 and then in Texas in 1952. Custom Automotive Special at Caddo Mills dragstrip.

 

My ALL TIME favorite!
RIP Pete!
