Found this around the corner - as Ken Young would say "only in southern California" - Gulf colors with patina.
The Gulf colors have been done to death - but I like this.

Roach Coach - designed by Ed "Newt" Newton and built at Contemporary Chassis Design for Roach Studios (they did monster shirts like Ed Roth and are still around) owner Stan Peterson.

According to the book "America's Wildest Show Rods of the 1960s & 1970s" by Scotty Gosson the Roach Coach was built in 1979 and is powered by a DOHC Indy engine from Andy Granatelli.

You'll notice it rides on what are quite possibly the deepest dish set of Rader spoked wheels (say XR7-G) ever made.

Ernie Immerso won America's Most Beautiful Roadster award 3 times. Twice with his Model T - The second win it had been completely redone with an Indy engine. Ernie owned Thunderbird exhaust products. After he passed they had an auction and there were 5-6 serious bidders for his 2 winning roadsters. The Petersen Museum was not to be denied and got both cars. At one time they displayed the Ardun powered Orange Twist on a lift so you could see the chassis. These were owner built cars which is unheard of today.

I saw the Sonny & Cher Mustangs up close at some sort of movie car auction at the CBS Radford Studio lot (San Fernando Valley) in the early '80s.  They were a real POS. Chicken wire, sloppy work, cheap glued-on trim.  Typical, of course, but still disappointing to see in person. 

I nearly bid on a weird four engine contraption (Boss 302 engines, I seem to recall) with a long fiberglass nose. It's probably been in some custom car book in years since, but my memory isn't clear on this car. I decided to pass on it, as too much of a POS as well.

Hollywood is 99% BS, and so are most of its cars.
