The days of yesteryear, when signs that said street rods for sale were a common thing are long past. Today it is more common to see muscle car for sale or classic cars for sale, street rods or even hot rods for sale are long past. I think the main reason is because before muscle cars came into being in 1964, there were only street rods.

There were no production muscle cars to be had going into the 1960’s. All of the fast cars were built by their owners. There was plenty of know how and parts to make this a viable industry. I especially liked the old 1930’s Fords that would have their fenders taken off and the engine replaced along with the rest of the drive train to make them go fast. There were many painted black with a wild flame job added to the nose of the car. This made them look like a flaming rocket going down the road.

The best place to see these cars run were the interstate sections that were being built. These closed off straight sections of smooth road were the ideal places for drag races. Plus there were few to no cops watching these unopened roads.

But with most of the interstates already built across this nation and the old street rods and hot rods so old and rare most owners do not want to take a chance, so they sit in car shows instead of racing. Maybe I am showing my age but this was a time of American history I miss and street rods for sale are far and few between.

You can see a couple of beauties here on American Classic Car Sale that have been lovingly taken apart piece by piece and reassembled using the best of the best in replacement or original parts. 1940 Ford Pick Up Street Rod, and a 1942 Ford Coupe Street Rod.  What you end up with is a connection to the past which is a salute to the original car designers, coupled with new technology and go fats treatments that make your head spin.

I know that some of the old time antique car collectors openly scoff at such a travesty but deep down inside they are thinking that they would just love to take a ride in that rocket.
