SILVER BASTARD — THE REEL OUTLAW

SOME PEOPLE RESTORE CARS.

ROD EMORY HAS OTHER IDEAS.

Aluminium skin. Sanding marks. Leather straps. Scars left exactly where they belong.

This 356 does not look unfinished.

It looks unwilling to behave.

Photographed at Rennsport Reunion, Laguna Seca, 2013, SILVER BASTARD belongs to the California tradition of taking something already good and making it considerably less polite.

No paint. No make-up. Just aluminium skin.

Almost naked — and suddenly you see how beautiful the line really is.

Purists may get nervous.

We don’t.
