Market commentary
Street rods are supposed to be original, imaginative, enthusiastic and individual creations. Most of them today, however, are formula constructions, beautifully built and finished, without question, but without originality. If there was an award for the best street rod at the Arizona auctions this January, this is the hands down winner. It reeks of original thinking. The Riley head Ford clunks out torque like the tractors it once powered. This is a marvel, beautifully built and ... just creative. It has all the right, period, stuff and fakes nothing. Theres no automatic tranny. This is a street rod. The seller reserved it at $35,000, and it would be a bargain at the price. His phone number is 623 297 2999. Someone please relieve Ken of this rod so he can build another one of equal individuality.
