We purchased this wild custom t-bird from our buddy Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage. The whole transaction of the sale was recorded for a future episode of Fast N’ Loud! Under the hood, this show car features a high-performance 351 CID Ford V-8 engine mated with a Ford C4 three-speed automatic transmission, both rebuilt before installation. Even as a show car, Roxanne runs fantastically. Known issues are the horn and speedometer, which are currently inoperable. This engine sits in a show-prepared engine bay, there is a custom air cleaner and Mickey Thompson rocker covers with T-bar fasteners and gold detailing. The car comes with a custom-made tonneau cover but has no hard or soft top. The body is the hand-formed steel of a ’57 Ford Thunderbird with a variety of body modifications. Tom Culberston of Culberston’s Customs in Indianapolis, Indiana originally built Roxanne. Inspiration for this radical custom came from show cars built by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and George Barris in the ’50s and ’60s. Finished in a brilliant gold metallic paint, this custom roadster definitely plays off a golden motif. The large rear tailfins give the iconic cult look, helping this car resemble a rocket ship! Other exterior modifications to this roadster include 1959 Lincoln headlights, 1959 Buick taillights, shaved door handles, a custom grille, tail panels and a chopped windshield. Recently pinstri
