![]() I find it interesting that the segment of the automotive hobby (Hot Rods) have come full circle, cars that were built years ago resurface as icons of the hobby, especially if they have won any major awards or were built by a well known professional builder. Hopefully, this car finds a new home and will be preserved for years to come. Since Coddington’s passing in 2008, his cars have continued to maintain (or go up) in value. It could certainly be driven as-is or refreshed. Other than some billet components, the interior doesn’t look too dated. This was the powerplant of choice for a lot of hot rods of this era and is a solid engine to this day. The engine is a 502 cubic inch big block topped with a ram-jet injection system. The car was also featured in the March 2006 issue of American Rodder magazine. The car debuted at the 54th annual Detroit Autorama and went on to win multiple awards including Boyd Coddington’s Pros Pick at Goodguys Columbus and best of show in Ohio’s Open Run. Here is a shot of the car on stage receiving an award from Boyd himself. Perhaps his design was still in production several years later though? While Foose did work for Coddington, he left Hot Rods by Boyd in the late 1990s to start his own shop. The Craigslist ad claims the car was designed by legendary hot rod builder Chip Foose. You can tell it hasn’t been driven much since it was sold in 2014 at Mecum. Have a look at this awesome car and thanks to Rex M. The car was built using a Coddington-built body and chassis and was put together by Jim Kain. This same car sold seven years ago at the Mecum Kissimmee auction for $90,000. ![]() It can be found here on Craigslist with an asking price of $119,000. This beautiful 1932 Ford roadster was built using components from Boyd Coddington and is one of the famous “Boydster II” cars that came out of Coddington’s shop in the mid-2000s.
