Visualize it: top down, sun is just coming up, you’re winding your way through the hills of upstate New York on a crisp summer morning. Or bundled up, cruising the mountains of Vermont in the fall. Maybe blasting along I-5 up in California into Oregon. Well, that’s what we visualize when we see this car. It’s a car that you compromise to because it’s so damn cool. Bidding is currently up to $30,100.01 with Reserve Not Met.

Honestly, our favorite thing about this hot rod is: simplicity. There are a bunch of well built cars on the market however few are so beautifully simple. Wonderful looking gloss black paint with very clean red leather and big polished 5 spoke wheels, this car looks great without flames, piping, pinstripes; it doesn’t need them. We appreciate how the seller included some pics of the frame before the body was installed, they show he’s not trying to hide much.

If it’s any consolation, the buyer claims you can buy the car for 1/3 of what it cost to build. It’s only been driven 3,000 miles since completion so it looks to be a great deal. Find it here in Rockford, Illinois.
