65 Rat Rod For Sale
I was fortunate enough to meet Jeff and his mates at the Valla event this year and did a feature shoot on both his 56 oval as well as this ultra-evil
65 ratrod beetle. He contacted me this morning to let me know its up for grabs at a measly $5000 - a real bargain! The car is based in Sydney. Serious
buyers can u2u me for his contact details or post a message.
I've cut n pasted a little of the article with some specs for you to read.....
Sorry Jeff has moved to QLD (apologies for any inconvenience!)
---------------------------------
"The look we wanted to achieve was that of a matt black hi-boy style of hot-rod of the 50's.
After centre mounting the custom Speedo and removing the mudguards (fenders) we realized we would have to reshape the front and rear aprons, the main
priority was to get the front "right" first and if time allowed us we would do the rear (as you can see we ran out of time)
After sorting out the front we turned our attention to the headlights, front indicators, rear indicators and rear stop/tail lights. We used chrome
bucket headlights and bullet style indicators, the same indicators are on the rear and a modified set are used as stop/tail lights.
Painted steel wheels are used and white wall tyres as used on the cool56 achieved the look we were after.
The bright red steel wheels match the 'chilli pepper red' interior well, the same 750mm skull topped gearstick sits well with modified vertical hand
brake lever in front of the custom made folding BENCH seat, the stark matt black dash features a centre mounted custom Speedo modelled off of the
infamous Jim Beam can, there are no surprises why the fuel gauge always seems full with many thanks to porn star Brianna Banks for the incredible
chest! The glove box houses the CD player which provides essential cruising tunes.
The custom 'VW666' badge on the engine lid provides the essential touch to this evil ride!
The shinny black iron crosses on each of the doors provides a "subtle" contrast to the matt black exterior.
The motor is a stock 1600cc twin port"
pics to follow.....

Should I swap my bus for one, I'll have to ponder that for a while before I make up my mind,.
See I give good sarcasim.

ITS MINE
That's right volks folks, the little beast is now mine. I picked it up from Jeff Baker (thanks mate) on the Gold Coast yesterday and finished
driving it home to Canberra today. Didn't miss a beat and was an absolute blast to drive. This things attrcts so much (positive) attention and I
thoroughly enjoyed talking to admirers on my trip home.
I will be putting this in the members rides section and posting regular updates as to the things I will be doing it.
Lovin the Ratrod.
