Jack it's probably one of the nicest examples of a '32 deuce coupe. I would have gone with a Ford 289 hi-po or a flathead but I like the engine to match the model.

Mark,
You can't beat a traditional hot rod whatever it's powered by. I could picture myself driving around in a cool highboy, or a chopped and channeled coupe.
When I was a young lad, my dream car was a '32 Ford coupe. Jeff Beck had some of the coolest examples of these cars out there.
It's hard to believe he's gone now. We've lost some of the greats lately, sadly to say.

AMAZING!!! And no pick. His fingers must have been calloused like rhino hide.

Decades of playing would certainly create some significant callousing. Although many guitarists play with a pick, that was his style...fingers and vibrato bar and some bottleneck thrown in for good measure.

Jeff Beck was kinda like the predecessor to later artists like Steve Via.
Not made for airplay commercial sounding whatsoever, but could bend strings unlike anyone else.
