Beatnik Bandit

Before the Mysterion and Road Agent, Roth built a bubble top rod that is almost iconic for wild Sixties show cars, and certainly put Roth on the custom car map. This car was passed between several owners after its was sold by Roth (after he re-acquired it from Championship Auto Shows in a trade for the Mysterion), eventually being acquired by the National Auto Collection in Reno, Nevada where it was restored to its magnificent, early-Sixties condition.
