ED 'BIG DADDY" ROTH'S MYSTERION






Hey all you groovy Ed "Big Daddy" Roth Kats and Kittens!!!
By far, one of my favorite Roth cars is the Mysterion. Built in his Maywood, California studio in 1962, the Mysterion combined two Ford 406 engines, linking up to twin universals on the rear axle. The idea came from dragsters Ed had seen at the drag strip. TV Tommy Ivo and Ed Roth were on the same page! And you gotta dig that great shade of yellow painted by Larry Watson.
