Re: {Chrysler 300} Beatnik Bandit in Today's Hemmings

Here’s the original “Beatnik Bandit”. Wouldn’t be surprised if a Club member or two had the Revell model in the early ‘60’s. This car has been in Reno for years but another Ed Roth creation built several years earlier, “The Outlaw”, was at the Petersen Museum when we visited it during the Pasadena meet.

Have seen this creation a number of times. "60 boomerang taillights & AstraDome dash pod - Looks nothing like a '55 Ford!

It hammered for $180,000 - with buyer's fee it's shown on Mecum's Klairmont results site as $198,000 sale result.

Yes, there is 300 content in this post. Check out the dash in the Beatnik Bandit. I saw this car in person about 15 years ago at an auction in Monterey. Hit the link and scroll down to find the dash:
