Hot Rods HOLY (crap) GRAIL Custom

So the merc brought big bucks. I guess this would make it the HOLY GRAIL of custom cars. Some of us speculated on selling price. Since we are speculating, What could be the HOLY GRAIL of Hot Rods?? OPINONS

 

$ $ $

 

The Sam Barris Merc is my “holy grail” of customs, and the McGee/Scritchfield ‘32 is my ultimate hot rod.

If I had the means, I would gladly pay millions for either.

 

To me,Norm's Bucket,an that's now very nicely restored !

 

For me it's a toss up between the Tom McMullen 32 Roadster, the McGee-Scritchfield roadster and the Kookie Car.

 

Millner's '32.

 

Doane Spencer roadster.


Vic Edelbrock Roadster.


And similar.

 

Mine is your 59 El Camino Bruce. (But I guess it's not a custom)

 

I have heard it said the McMullen 32 is the ultimate hot rod but in my humble opinion the McGee/Scritchfield roadster owned by Bruce Meyer holds that honor. HRP

 

The red one or the white one....................Thanks

 

Red

 

Yeah, I gotta agree with this one.....

 

My first thought was the McMullen '32, But I think I'd rather have the Pierson Bros. coupe...and, of course, the tow car

 

Does anybody know what a Custom is. This.

 

I would agree, but I like the version that showed up on the old “B” movies and television shows back when it was a working hot rod.

I dislike perfection.

 

For me it's always the Khougaz '32 Roadster ==> https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/...-ford-lakes-roadster-custom-by-khougaz/180186

Sold for $187k in 2015.

 

For me, the holy grail of hot rods is Ms. Linda ( I know it’s not an automobile but for the love of god how can you not agree)

 

It could one that's still not accounted for?

 

Pretty hard to ignore the Doane Spencer car!

 

I think the Stu Hilborn streamliner was stolen from in front of his house decades ago. If you could find that it would be the holy grail of hot rodding.

 

Isky's model "T" roadster. There's something about that car that just draws me in, I guess because every piece of that car was carefully chosen to work in harmony with everything else.

 

The holy grail of hot rods would have to be the one you build yourself and puts a smile on your face every time you drive it or throw the garage door open and it's there waiting for you.

 

The Doane Spencer Roadster and the Niecamp Roaster are two that have always done it for me simply because they are timeless and never look dated.
I've never cared much for the McMullen roadster simply because it always looked a bit tacky to me. The Graffiti deuce shouldn't be even considered even though I still believe that someday there will be a graffiti Deuce nationals where all the cow piss yellow coupes can sit side by side and compare piston shift knobs and decide who's grill shell is perfectly out of place.

 

For my taste, it would have to be Ed Iskenderian's roadster, it just has the right look and stance and everything about it, is just kick ass in my humble opinion.

 

X2 on that choice

 

Yes, yes, YES!!!

 

Silver Saphire or Spencer Murray’s Dream Truck! Those 2 really trip my trigger.

 

Hot rods are like women, there is something about all of them that I like. But I’m 33 years in love with the one I’m with.

 

Great roadster. I would like to see the trailer on the back.
