Does anyone recognize this roadster?

It was seized by the us marshall service in Utah then auctioned off by the government in march of this year Im looking to find out if anyone knows who built it?... trying to find out the history of it. any info would be great. oh and btw its registered as a 1920 ford which we can all clearly see it is not... we can thank the us marshall service for that one .... durh... apparently it sat in this guys collection for 26 years?

 

It's mine... I want It back!!!

 

its in my driveway which makes it mine seriously though I really want to know where the hell this thing came from originally

 

Dearborn?

 

Me too, my friend...very nice rod...just bumping your post...d32

 

I know it was at the Lone Star Roundup in '03

 

dont know the history of it , but it sure is an attractive car , very tastefully executed ,

 

I've never seen it before...

 

I went to look at a 30 coupe 5 window body and ended up leaving with this roadster

 

Why'd the marshall's get it?

It looks like this roadster was the best thing in the collection. The collection was mostly kit cars and crap like that...

 

Skinny Jeff built that in Jimmy White's driveway. That is the RPU that got me into hotrods...one ride in that and I was ruined forever. Use to be owned by Jason Bennett.

 

There was a thread on the Marshal's auction back at the first of the year.

Sweet ride for sure. I'm curious myself.

 

it was owned by Jeffrey Mowen who is awaiting trial on a multi million dollar Ponzi Fraud scheme, racketeering, and now also being tried for soliciting to commit murder of 4 witnesses.

 

Whoah! Killer hot rod... BAD juju!

 

You can call me at my shop, or e-mail me. Contact info is in the Circle City Hot Rods website. I can tell you all the info you would want to know, Except for the part about the sketchy Ponzi scheme dude?

P.s That car is an original Hot Rod. We found Newspaper in the doors from 1950.

 

Hey Jimmy, how's the new shop? Do a Google on Jeffrey Mowen, the guy that bought and then had the car seized, F'd up dude. Screwed a lot of people. He plead not guilty, but is trying to Plea bargain out, sounds pretty guilty to me.

 

That kicks ass!

 

such a bad ass hot rod!

you better go out and put your drivers side rear hubcap on all the way before you lose it though!

the pipes were a dead give away Jimmy, that roadster is perfect.

 

That is a neat little T! Jealous!

 

I remember Jeff showing me an old pic of it red with Cad wires or something like that... like it better as shown!

 

Keith, that was a long time ago! Skinny Jeff bought that thing in the mid 90's. It was a pretty neat little car. Its weird to see pic's of that car it really brings back a lot of memories.

I just saw that thing on craigslist about a week ago for pretty cheap or trade for gasser.

 

not really a rpu guy, but that thing is awesome.

 

Is it just me,... Or does that dropped axle look like a aftermarket ?
Just went back and seen the aftermarket spindle arms,.......

 

The kat I bought it from said the same thing but then said if you look at the front center of the axle the detail is accurate and it is legit? I have to be honest with you guys I dont know dick about these old fords

 

The car had a Killer original dropped axle. It was removed and replaced with an aftermarket axle. It doesnt change the fact that it is an original hot rod, if that is what you are implying.

Haha - I thought the same thing.
