Together they turned Lobeck\u2019s into a \u201cone stop shop\u201d for hot rodders offering everything from door hinges to complete turnkey rods & customs.\n\nA native of Springfield, Lobeck was one of the most popular hot rod builders outside California, building a decades-long string of low slung traditionally styled hot rods. Issue #39 of the Rodder\u2019s Journal touted Lobeck as the father of the \u201cOhio Look.\u201d\n\nGoodguys enjoyed a longstanding business and personal relationship with Barry over the years. He provided the Grand Prize Giveaway Cars (a \u201933 sedan in 1993 and a \u201933 coupe in 1994) which brought credibility to the program. The Lobeck\u2019s trailer was a fixture on the Goodguys event midway and he was always quick to joke with staff members. In 1998, Goodguys roasted Lobeck along with Jack Chisenhall at the 2nd annual PPG Nationals in Columbus which turned out to be a raucous affair with over 500 people in attendance. In 2007, a special \u201cLobeck Reunion\u201d was held in Columbus featuring over 30 cars built by the Lobeck\u2019s team.\n\nBarry and his team had a half dozen cars make it to the top 5 for the Goodguys Classic Instruments Street Rod of the Year award including George Poteet\u2019s \u201939 Ford Convertible, Sal Magarino\u2019s \u201940 Ford roadster among others.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve lost a great one,\u201d said Goodguys founder Gary Meadors. \u201cLobeck was always a Goodguys supporter. He was on board with what we were doing from day one. When he stepped up to do the Giveaway Car program it was one of the early breakthroughs for Goodguys. He helped us out in a lot of ways.

It used to be a few years ago that you could count on your fingers the builds exceeding $250,000. Now that seems to be the starting point and you go from there on a new build with the likes of Kindig It, Foose, Rad Rides by Troy, So Cal and numerous others most with a waiting period of 3 to 4 years to get your custom car built. Spend more than that to hang something on the wall or get a rolling work of art you can enjoy looking at but also can experience it with all your senses.", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1534868271, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 2455766, "authorName": "Bbwjr4iu8", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bbwjr4iu8/", "bidAmount": 83000, "content": "$83,000 bid placed by Bbwjr4iu8", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1534869483, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 2455786, "authorName": "Quazelkopf (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/quazelkopf/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "For those bidding from the USA.

I will help with the process so it goes as smoothly as possible. To me the transaction is not complete until the new owner is satisfied and has possession of the car. There is no import duty on this car. Last year I sold a Shelby CSX4000 on BAT for $120,000 to a gentleman in Knoxville Tennessee with no experience importing a car to the USA with no issues. Thank you all for your interest in this amazing automobile and soon we will find out if it finds another home and caretaker. Selling this one is bittersweet as it should be a keeper by all rights.
