The one on the left looks like the Beatnik Bandit by Ed Roth. Not sure about the one on the right though.....

Yes it's the Mysterion '63.
"Mysterion combined two Ford engines, two transmissions, plus two welded rear ends for the foundation.
He got the idea for Mysterion from the multi-engine dragsters that he had seen at the dragstrips.
Ed started out with the frame and then he created the front end with the offset headlight, the rest of the car came easily afterwards. Larry Watson painted it candy yellow."

Nice one pushing the hot rod bubble back then too, thats how i see it anyways. so refreshing to see them. keep those juices flowing. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |
