I guess it's how you look at it. There's 1000s of them but only one of the others.Yes indeed, Ferrari trumps Rat Rod any day.
The BreadVan...
Do you know the GS Airs (Air, M and MS) were made FOR the iSticks?
Several people put away their Nautilusi after they got their Airs. All the GS's run $10 or less, the coils last a long time and are rebuildable.

There's only one Breadvan.
It started life as a 1961 250 SWB chassis number 2819, and was rebuilt into the Breadvan when Ferrari refused to sell Count Volpi a new GTO . (and it beat the GTOs) And Enzo Ferrari & Count Volpi never spoke to each other again.
The funny part is that Volpi hired the GTO engineers that Ferrari's wife fired to build it.
Count Volpi told me that the reason Ferrari wouldn't sell him a GTO was because Ferrari's wife had fired his engineers.

When I looked up the Bredvan, the first thing that came to mind was the E Type Hearse from Harold & Maude. 
Quite a few Rat's are meticulously finished works of art, but there are way too many out there that look like they drove right off the set of Mad Max.
I suppose that is the true definition of a Rat Rod, where as the finished ones are not really the norm.
I used to work with a guy who built a Rat Rod. It had a metal tractor seat in it....
Made my old .... hurt just looking at it.

Okay - It looks as though "We" have now gone off the beaten path again . . .
SO - How about a "Tootle Puffers" vehicle - just the basics and can get Ya' where you want to go . . .
OR - One that is more up to date . . .

I worked on full customs almost all my life. Had my own shop for awhile. I remember a 55 chevy I chopped. The roof was done but the doors were stock still. This guys lady ask what I was doing and I told her I was trying to figure out how to get these doors shut. She looked and ask what happened. I told her the guy rolled it but the doors didn't get hurt. I laughed for a couple hrs. on that one.
No, no, no, no, THAT'S not a Rat Rod, THIS! is a Rat Rod. Fresh off the streets of Slocala, Fl
