I pretty much love everything about this crazy dude and all his wacked out cars, artwork, models, and pinstriping. But I had no idea the dude used to drive Hondas! This gives me hope as a driver of a bright red 1999 Honda CR-V myself (in fact, I'm considering a set of moon discs for the wheels right now). But I digress...

First, I happened upon his '73 N600 Coupe, which he obviously used to promote his pinstriping/customization business and is now on display at the Galpin Auto Sports “Ed Roth” collection alongside the Orbitron and more in Southern California:

Then, I came across a newer (first generation) Honda CVCC Civic that was listed on eBay several years back (I think it's a '76) and is on display in the same museum:

OK, for some reason we can't seem to get that photo slideshow for his first car to work on here. So you'll have to go to this link to view it:

But it's worth it! :)

Very cool. Here's a couple images I've saved of some of his old advertising:

"Crazy Painters" business card, with their original address at 9001 Atlantic in Southgate.

A sad follow-up post:

That '73 Honda 600 sold for just $22,000 at auction in 2009. Sounds like a steal to me.
