"It even comes with an autographed guitar from the band."
If you're a fan of the intricate guitar work that defined the eighties, you will no doubt be amped about this Craigslist find — a 1934 Ford four-door Hot Rod previously owned by guitar legend Eddie Van Halen.
The ultimate in Rock and Roll memorabilia, Eddie Van Halen's 1934 Ford Model 40 A even comes with an autographed guitar from the band. According to the Craigslist ad, both the car and Van Halen's guitar can be yours right now for the cool sum of seventy thousand dollars. (Valerie Bertinelli not included.)
Here's a screenshot of the actual Craigslist ad selling Eddie Van Halen's car:
Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen in 1990 |
When Eddie Van Halen purchased the '34 Ford in 1990 he was recently clean and sober and his wife actress Valerie Bertinelli (One Day at a Time, Touched by an Angel) was pregnant with their son, Wolfgang. But don't mistake this vintage four door Hot Rod for a square family man sedan. It was meant to be driven and enjoyed every bit as much as Van Halen's high revving guitar solos.
