1962 Ed Roth "Mysterion": The Bubbletop Monster With TWO V8 Hearts

Описание: 1962 Mysterion 🚗 was the double-V8, bubbletop freak car that broke every rule of engineering—and still sold for $246,400 decades later. Built by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth in his California shop, this fiberglass spaceship packed not one but two 390ci Ford big-block V8s under a clear dome. One engine was real, the other a chromed dummy, but that didn’t matter—because Mysterion was never about driving. It was about dazzling car shows, selling millions of Revell kits, and turning Roth into a pop-culture icon.

In this video we dive deep into the wild story: how it was built, why it self-destructed, and how faithful recreations keep its legend alive. Expect chrome overload, shag-carpet interiors, and the most over-engineered hydraulic bubble roof you’ve ever seen.

If you love outrageous hot rods, classic concept cars, and automotive myths that refuse to die, you’re in the right place. Hit 👍 if this chrome fantasy made you smile, and don’t forget to subscribe 🔔 for more lost legends and fiberglass dreams.
