This wild little rat rod has been in the machine filled California toy box of actor Ewan McGregor for a while now and he has certainly had his fun with it. It is a 1920 Dodge Rat Rod powered by a Chevy straight 6 cylinder engine and an automatic trans. Finned front brake drums on an extended axle, rear end with central leaf spring, spun aluminum fuel tank, fantastic vintage looking padded steel seats, very low, you step over the doors to enter. Small pick up bed, body was cut down from a Touring by the looks of it. Cool original Dodge Brothers star emblem on the radiator as well as a Motometer and 1920 auto registration tag on the grille. Matte green finish with painted star on the doors, hand grenades mounted on top of windshield posts, skull valve stem covers on the steel wheels wrapped with new quality tires. Hand operated windshield wiper, no airbags, audio, creature comforts or silly safety equipment. Just straight up silly rat rod assembled from assorted parts from who knows where...but its awesome. Runs good, sounds good, looks "good" ? (Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say!) Where will it go next? That is up to you if you are the highest bidder at the end (and the reasonable reserve is met of course)
