I wonder if his health issues had anything to do with the show being canceled.
Yes he was creative. The image portrayed of him on the TV show did not do him justice.

I had heard that Cadzilla had changed hands i believe it was $350k.??

Re: Boyd Coddington
 

The time I hooked up w/ Billy Gibbons we talked half the night about cars and I was quizzing him about the CadZ and HogZ's...he's a real car guy!!!.

Funny thing too is when I mentioned I had a old WhiZZer bike and a few original BliZZard factory racing snowmobiles, he told me he wants anything old with an engine and ZZ in the name!.

Sorry to sidestep the Boyd post..

Re: Boyd Coddington
 

I had the opportunity to spend time with Boyd several times over the last 5-6 years and he was always a gentleman. A few years back, I was on business in California and decided to give him a call, as he said to come on by the shop if I was ever around. After spending well over an hour getting a personal one on one tour, I left thinking that he really was not the guy that many thought he was, or what he was shown as on American Hot Rod and was truly a car guy and enthusiast, just like the rest of us.

A couple years ago I ran into him and invited him join me for breakfast; again nothing but a gentleman and we spent more then an hour talking cars and mutual acquantences. Last year Boyd and his wife came to or Dallas Autorama show and signed autographs for many hours and brought a smile to many faces.

As several have stated, the Hot Rod world would not be what it is today without the contributions of Boyd Coddington and I truly believe that his influence may never be duplicated.

RIP Mr. Coddington and my sympathies to all of the Coddington family (and crew).
