About this Article

Don Koehler's T-bucket hot rod needed almost as many repairs as its driver.Koehler says that's what you get for believing the silver-tongued promises of the radical street monster's former owner. "When I bought it, they said it had a rebuilt motor, a rebuilt tranny (transmission) and a rebuilt rear end," he explains. "But I found out there ain't nothin' rebuilt."
