History Von Dutch original, Paul Sylva's ARDUN T Modified Roadster

I usually don't care for Von Dutchs work but that design on the nose is the ultimate stripe design. Simple, Clean, and clever. Very nice. The car ain't bad either.

 

Wicked!

 

amazing every way it was ran.that thing had to be insane to drive

 

not only was Paul,s roadster a great example of the ultimate lakes racer, and the Von Dutch striping is what I recall. I,ve heard some critics of his style and form, but that was the kind of striping we saw and liked at the time.

 

AMAZING! Very cool.

 

Here's a couple more. I can't remember where I saved these from they were in my stash. It has the magnesium wheels now.

 

Wow! you make my day too.Very fun to see.Thanks.

 

Very nice part of history. I only saw it one time when owned by Specialized auto in Houston. Glad to know it's still around.

Great post Jimmy, superb car! Thanks.

Very evocative of the period and along with the stripes, totally cool!

 

I really love Von Dutch's work done here, some good pics of it too.

 

Sweet!!!!

Here it is as it sits today waiting to go to Auction.

 

And I am the WINNER Whooo hoooo So stoked !!!!! They are just giving cars away !!! I love monterey car week !!!! The price was so good I had to buy it ! You will cry when you see what I got it for

 

That's great that it went to a HAMBer! Thanks Jimmy B, for starting this thread.

 

Congrats!!! That is such great news! I'm so glad a HAMBer got it.

 

Very nice piece of history, congrats on the purchase! Hope it is conserved correctly for the future.

 

Congratulations! I've been lightly watching the auction and must have missed it.

Way to go, I'm jealous.

 

Thanks also snapped up a 36 ford with Carson top. Great week at the auctions wow

 

Congrats to a very nice car. I dont know the price but i am sure it
is worth every penny you spend on it.
I hope whe can see and hear it started up here,Thanks.

 

I thought the same thing... smoother and a tad more sophisticated than most of those "nobody knows how to paint flames yet flames" you see on early race cars. Gary

 

Wow congrats!! Do you have any pictures of the 36 as well?

 

Damn, that's a cool ride! Amazing it was preserved so well.

 

wow!

 

Since you brought it up, HOW MUCH?

 

cool car! What is going on with the stick shift? is that positioned to make sure you don't get that track nose to close to anything, looks like you might get neutered in a front end crash!

 

great thread jimmy , and a great outcome as well. congrats lars.....
