1937 Terraplane pickup, one of 16 existing today. This thing better have been in really rough shape to justify what was done to it.

Still, even if it was junk this is inexcusable. I'd rant about why rich old guys always feel the need to take truly unique vehicles and turn them into unremarkable pieces of rolling jewelry, but I'd just be talking to myself.

I see the owner/builder is in Arizona. If it was a complete, rust free roller, I'm going to track this guy down and skin him alive.

I'm just as bothered by the fact that the custom work is so godamn ugly.

#4, I'm bothered by the fact that he seems to have equipped it with every stereotypical amenity seen in hot rod magazines i.e. horrid wheels, blower, tacky interior, crap bodywork and air bag suspension. No creativity anymore.

#5, Yet if you confronted the builder about his destroying an irreplaceable piece of history, his response would probably be something like "I don't care about that. I wanted to turn it into my own creative statement! Because I'm sure you've never seen a custom truck like mine!"

He'd probably also use some shit line about "anyone can restore a car, but it takes real skill to build a hot rod." As if being able to work a welder and reforming metal into unmapped, blobular masses then stick in a Chevy crate engine and a few aftermarket parts in it takes more skill than the attention to detail and research needed to properly restore a vehicle.

#6, Amen.

Every time I hear some old Barrett-Jackson whore trying to justify cutting into a cherry classic I have to turn away and focus on something else before I suffer an anger-related embolism.

I remember watch an episode of American Hot Rod where Boyd Coddington bought this old Mexican dude's mint 1957 Plymouth and turned it into some kinda hackneyed billet-rod for some rich fuck collector who probably wouldn't even drive the poor thing. Boyd complained that the guy had stiffed him on the price, but he's got no goddamned right to complain seeing as how he after it left the shop with all those custom bits the price would've easily been over 3-4 times the original asking number. Fuck Boyd and all his Hawaiin shirts too.

#7, 3 or 4 times the asking price??? more like 20.


Boyd sells bowel movements on billet platters for 240 a piece. Think what a car costs.

Apparently this is his second hot-rodded '37 Terraplane pickup. The first one looked like this:

#14, To his credit, the first one looked much better, and both of them were apparently in bad shape. It doesn't make me feel much better about two destroyed Terraplane pickups and one of them being fuck ugly, though.
