*****NO RESERVE AUCTION***** DO NOT BID IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CASH OR FINACING SET UP BEFOREHAND!!!! Ok, this was found and dragged out of a barn by my good friend Jeff in 2012 and a complete restoration was just finished on it. It was parked in the barn many years ago by the previous owner. It's a 1972 Ed Roth Body 3 wheel trike. The restoration included a complete rewire and nut and bolt rebuild of the VW motor which was done by Frenchy of FrenchysRides.com. Trust me, this trike sounds just as amazing as it looks!! Frenchy himself is an icon when it comes to VeeDubs. Not to mention the icon himself Big Daddy Ed Roth. Now some of you younger guys don't even know the name Ed Roth, but I'm sure you've heard the name Rat Fink. Ed Roth was the creator / inventor of that famous Rat amongst many other Hot Rods that became Hot Wheels and Model cars. Such as the Beatnik Bandit, Mysterion, The Outlaw and Orbitron to name a few. As a matter of fact, Cody Roth just stopped by the shop and took the trike for a spin. The trike has a 1600cc VW motor that is FRESH, meaning literally 20 miles on total rebuild. The complete body was stripped and painted Shovel Head Red, which is a beautiful red metalflake paint to keep that vintage 70's old school look. The paint was made from a company called SEM. The complete underside of the body was treated to a full rock protection coating ( black ), which is to keep the body from cracking or paint chipping due to rocks hitting the underside from being driven. You can catch a couple short test ride videos on You Tube if you do a search for ( Big Daddy Ed Roth trike ) on YouTube. This is NOT something that you will find all over!! These are quite rare nowadays!! You're not going to see one on every corner like a Harley or Corvette. It also has a very unique look coming down the street. If you don't like attention, then this is NOT your ride!! It has classic fat Cragar Mags and Mickey Thompson Tires. 4-speed standard shift with foot clutch, and reverse on the left side. It has old school vintage hot rod looks with some modern conveniences. I think Ed would be quite proud!! It put a big smile on Cody's face while he was riding it. I have a lot invested in her, but she came out beautiful!! I will include an Ed Roth Rat Fink banner with the purchase if you want to display it in your garage or shop. Trike is located in Apache Junction, Az, and I do know a extremely reliable / professional shipper whom I'd highly suggest. I have no earthly idea of what it might cost to ship to wherever you are, but I will include his name and number so you can deal with him directly if you so choose: Darrell (713) 857-45o4 Please call or preferably text me at: 4o9-6oo-5555 with any questions you might have and I'll do my best as to answer them in a timely manner......

(No projects or junk) Must have value of $23k+ Clear title in hand!! http://youtu.be/ocbYNOLLnRU http://youtu.be/2k-2kT2ctd8 http://youtu.be/8g-uEpzNcxY
