Also on auction as part of the single-day event are various items of ‘kustom kulture’ memorabilia, ranging from Ed Roth posters through to a Von Dutch Power Drill and various engines.

The Icons of Speed & Style auction preview will take place on Friday, September 25th from 9:00am – 6:00pm, with the auction starting at 11:00am on Saturday, September 26th. Admission requires the purchase of an official auction catalog available for $80.00 USD (plus S&H where applicable).

  3. This has to be the most exciting auction ever and it will clearly makes JB look pathetic as no auction in recent history has had icon owned by Ed Roth, Ohio George Montgomery and by Von Dutch. A lot of these cars bring back memories of an innocent period and where custom cars and funny cars were exciting and are truly works of art.RM Auctions did a beautiful job on the presentation of these cars on their website. I wish I could attend and bid on some of these beautiful works of art. Good Luck RM Auction on your upcoming auction.
