Ed Big Daddy Roth Original Hand Painted Rat Fink Custom Pickup Tailgate on 2040-parts.com
New Smyrna Beach, Florida, US
This is truly one of a kind MUST HAVE for any serious Ed Roth fan, He painted it for me in 1997 (see pic) at a Car Show our club (Ghostown Cruisers) put on in Casper, Wyoming where he appeared with several of his cars. It was a great experience to meet "Big Daddy" in person as I had always been a rat fink fan. The tailgate measures 48" x 21" and was going on a 1953 Ford F-100. Ed titled the piece "Fink 100" Great for the man cave, office, garage art, or put it on your show truck !!!
The only reason I am selling it that we have moved to a smaller home and this was on the top of my wife's list to........you know the rest.

Merc to revive straight six, plus 4cyl and smaller V8s
Tue, 25 Oct 2011Mercedes has just signed off a new engine family which will see most full-sized Mercs in future run four-cylinders, downsized V8s and… straight sixes. A friendly Mercedes engineer recently met CAR to disclose the engine plans for future models, including the surprise disclosure that Merc plans to switch to straight sixes, like its rivals over in Munich. It's fair to say I almost choked on my breakfast croissant when I found out the details of the next MB engine generation which has just been signed off for release in 2015. Mercedes' future four-cylinder engines Again, there will be a family of new low-cost fours, and the big-bore V8s will be replaced by a series of downsized turbocharged 4.0-litre units.
