We've sold over 300 vintage tailgates that our customers have used for rat rods and repurposed into benches, tables, fences or signs.   We generally have several different makes and models, so be sure to view our other auctions and check back often…you never know what Pete will find.


There is a reason they are so popular…the size makes them the perfect bench back or wall hanger and the strength of the old iron, chippy paint and the patina of the oxidized metal make them one-of-a-kind works of art...terrific for a vintage grunge industrial look. 


This tailgate came off an old 40’s Chevy and has an amazing original "grunge" finish.  Secure tailgates wear pink...and this one wears it well.  The perfect amount of white, red and oxidized metal make a great backdrop for the strong red embossed letters accentuated with a bit of black.  Use the zoom feature for an accurate visual description.  Fortunately, we're from dry old Kansas and the metal is still sound...just some character dents from hauling hay and supplies. This could still be used on a ratrod or would make a terrific bench or wall-hanger. 50 5/8" x 15 1/2".

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport gets its Guinness World Speed Record back

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

According to Guinness at the time, putting a limiter on a production car changed the Veyron and made the record invalid. But it seems Guinness has had a rethink. From originally stating that “…as the car’s speed limiter was deactivated, this modification was against the official guidelines” they have now decided that doesn’t matter any more because Bugatti hasn’t changed the Super Sport in any other way.
