Vehicle Description
Super star customers such as Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, the
Beach Boys, Shaquille O'Neal, Roger Clemens, Darryl Strawberry and
ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons all had Boyd Coddington vehicles built to
showcase their personalities, with amazing -- and often renowned --
results. This is Boydster III, one of a handful of designs left
unfinished before Boyd's untimely passing at the age of just 63.
It's a street and show rod representing Boyd's style of super
clean, uncluttered lines, but with ultra high quality components
and engineering. Simplicity reigns throughout, starting with a 300
horse 350 crate motor and automatic. For this lightweight machine,
there's plenty of go power! Another part of Boyd's artistry is in
the execution of such things as color. This one is a combination of
Fawn and Burnt Orange metallic that's subtle but striking at the
same time. The interior is a luxurious Light Ultra Tan leather.
Boyd was also known for his pioneering use of billet aluminum. The
Boydster III follows suit with a billet steering wheel and
staggered polished billet wheels. Obviously, stance is key in a
street rod, and this one has the rake angle down pat. Boydster III
is indeed an important piece of hot rodding history. From the
covers of Hot Rod Magazine and Smithsonian Magazine to the American
Hot Rod series on Discovery Channel, Boyd Coddington's reputation
spread even beyond the borders of the United States, turning him
into a global icon.

that all buyers who are unable to view a vehicle in person have a
pre-purchase inspection done prior to purchase. Inspections can be
performed by an independent party selected by the buyer. Due to the
age and uniqueness of these special vehicles, it is difficult to
