Listing this vehicle for a friend. Call Lou at the number below for more details and perhaps BIGGER photos! LOL. If you’re looking for a meticulously built hot rod from the hands of ahot-rodding legend, something that will get momma to and from the grocery store in recordtime, all while packing in the entire soccer team, then look no further! This wagon is more thana family truckster, it’s the family haul-ass-ter! Words and photos do not do this wagon anyjustice. But read thisinformation, straight from Boyd’s shop, look up The Lizard King on theweb, and look at thephotos. That will tell you most of the story. But this wagon has to beseen to be believed. It’sspectacular from all angles, the attention to detail is Pebble Beachquality, and it runs likenothing you’ve ever seen on the streets. Call Lou at (203) 984-9127 to discuss this one-of-a-kindhot rod and to set up an appointment to see it for yourself. Since hisunfortunate passing, Boyd’screations have been in high demand. It’s very rare to find oneavailable here on the East coast, sodon’t let this opportunity pass! SoBe Lizard KingE-85 Powered HotRodBoyd Coddington®teamed up with the SoBe® Drink Company to design and build the first ever E-85powered hot rod. The project started out as a rather clean, stock 1960Mercury Woody wagon, now knownas the “Lizard King”. It was revealed on as part of the ESA, EastCoast Scholastic Surfing Championshipspresented by FEW-New Zealand, at Bethune Park in New Smyrna Beach,Florida. This Wagon is truly aGreen Machine. The project aired on later episodes of AMERICAN HOT ROD on TLC.Automotive and Hot Rod designerEric Brockmeyer put pen to paper to incorporate a surf inspiredconcept with the Boyd Look™ to give it a hot rod touch. Initially concepts of a custom panel truck, but thewoody would be a new marketing tool and a new addition to the SoBe® brand. Because this hot rod is all surfmotivated, it only made sense to team up with shaping legend and Channel Island Surfboards founder Al Merrick. At the soul of this hot rod is a Ford 460 V8, bored and stroked to amassive 533 cubic inches. Engine management comes courtesy of a F.A.S.T. engineered ECU unit, throttlebody and fuel injectors. Other additions to the Ethanol hot rod motor are an MSD ignition system andEdelbrock intake. The dyno numbers this eco-sensitive motor puts down are extraordinary: 677hpand 651 lb./torque.Transferring the power is a C6 three-speed auto transmission. Holdingit all together is a Currie EnterpriseFord 9 inch rear, held in place by the brand new 4-link control armsuspension system by Air RideTechnologies, which replaces the traditional leaf spring set-up. E85 is an alternative fuel as defined by the U.S. Department of Energyand is intended for use in flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs). Besides its superior performancecharacteristics, ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline; it is a completely renewable, domestic, environmentally friendly fuel.The Lizard King was fitted with Goodyear tires wrapped around a set ofBoyds Wheels. SoBe ® waslooking for a new marketing tool that would attract a lot of attention to their product. The Lizard Kingdrew flocks of people that gathered aroundthis amazing vehicle and it was an absolute success for Sobe® and BoydCoddington® and is ready for its next new adventure with its new owner. Again, call Lou at the number above to discuss more details about the wagon. |
