What is your favorite Hot Rod of all time??

If I had to pick just one...... UGH!
It would have to be Doane Spencers roadster.....

and,
The Chrisman coupe,
The Orange Crate,
SWC Willys,
SoCal Coupe,
and....and.....and.....and.....about a thousand more...............

 

This will be another one of my "come back to threads" when I need some therapy. Thanks...
Too many favorites:
My uncles '63 409 Impala ( no pics) why, 'cause as a kid I stood in the back on the driveshaft hump holdin' on to the seat tops and he would rip through the gears. What a great feeling...I'll never forget it..

I'll be back with a few pics of other later maybe. RoyalShifters T, Confederaterat's drag truck, LanceSorcik's Jersey Suede,Uncertain T, Roy Creel's Bonneville '34 5 window, SuperBell coupe, Jake's yellow coupe, early altered wheelbase funny cars. Jim Hall's early Chaparrals,my coupe.

Smokey

 

Can't forget Ken Gross's awesome Duece or Neal East's hammered 5 window or his infamous full-fendered Duece......

 

I second the Iskendarian roadster...



Another that comes to mind would be the Silver Sapphire. Is it just me?

ONE favorite, eh???

For me, I'd go with Buttera's red 32...in it's original configuration. There are countless other worthy candidates, several of them also being Buttera cars, but this one would be my favorite hot rod.

 

I second the motion on the Orange Crate. I think I built a plastic model of that car way back when.

 

Flat Top Bob's 32.....
They say you never forget your first, this was the first 32 I was ever in. It sure made a impression on me.

 

Pauls 60's style. Honestly, I read the tech about 5 times a year

 

Deuce, full fender, primer, Hemi, 3 97's.

 

ok guys, dont forget the eddie dye roadster after whitey clayton did the hood and nose.

 

oh yea and lets make sure the khougaz car is on this list.

 

HOLY HELL THIS THING IS BAD ASS!!!

 

i actually met the crew chief of that vulcans car last year after i welded up some stainless exhaust system for his rolls royce in long beach, ca. Hes an awesome guy and had that car set up to run in different classes so when chrisman showed up at lions he would change to the other class. haha. That aircraft carb setup he actually got back like 30 years after he ran it and ed iskendarian had it up in his attic. cool guy, cool car.

 

Mine is Cal Tanaka's 33-4? Saw it the first time I went to fathers day about 5 years ago after moving to phoenix grew up loving that car

 

My friend, restored this car several years ago. It is truly magnificent. BMW was trying to buy it from him for mucho dinero, he was holding out for more, after all, it did win the 1948 Mille Migila

 

There are so many to choose from... but given one,
I would have to go with Nacho Gonzalez's bobber.
It's a hot rod but much more. It's a ground breaking
take on hot rods as art. I guess I like the minemalism
of it. Not even paint, yet beautiful.

 

I have three #1 is Barris's Twister T, love the paint and the little hemi, the whole package just makes me happy.

Number two is tied with Roth's Mysterion and Surfite(It's bad ass I don't care what you say!!).

And three, I'm not sure if it's a "Hot Rod" in your books, but it is in mine, Redd Foxx's L'il Red Wrecker, built by Barris. I love the whole damn thing, and the blown 392 helps a bit too.

 

this is my favorite

 

not really HOT RODS but 2 of my all time favs

 

Since 1958

 

the variety is really interesting here!

 

Willie and Mousie's Winged Express till the day I die



One hand, boys and girls, one hand

 

I really can't think of anything that personifies hot rodding, class, and coolness any better than the Hummer that Rich Christensen drives on Pinks.

Lordy, It better be a joke....or, I sentence you to "the big house" !!!

 

I fell in love with this little gem recently.
