My brother Jeff -- car-porn surfer extraordinaire-- likes to send along rides that "look like fun." This week it's a tube frame with a 1937 Fiat Topolino (little mouse?) body plopped on top. We're a little tired of the rat rod, but this ebay find goes way beyond kitch with some cool choices. It's powered by a hopped-up Chevy four with duel Webers instead of the obvious choice small block Chevy (though the seller assures us that a big block will bolt right up to the Borg-Warner four speed). We also dig the vintage Firestones. Bidding topped out at $11,000, under the reserve. A great car for city driving.

I dare you to post the car image in Steppenwolf's "For Ladies Only"...
ReplyDeleteStill dig that car, should have sold the family wagon and gone for the sheer practicality of this ride... side windows and a heater only add wgt anyway.
