'Parts of America' will arrive in LA on
November 17, revealing a collection
of eleven custom rides created by leading car builders with four of
the vehicles going up for sale on eBay
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Nov. 17,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, eBay Motors arrives in
Los Angeles to mark the finale of
its 'Parts of America' tour, the ultimate cross-country car
enthusiast road trip. Since kicking off in September, the tour has
stopped in twelve towns notable for their car cultures and
communities, including sports cars seeking to tame the 'Tail of the
Dragon' in Deals Gap, North
Carolina, 'bagger' motorcycle mods meeting up in
Rogers, Arkansas, and rock
crawling Jeeps in Moab, Utah. With
car enthusiasts descending on Los
Angeles for one of the biggest events of the year, the eBay
Motors Hauler will display, for the first time, the full collection
of wild, one-of-a-kind, custom-modded rides collected along the
route, all made possible with parts from eBay Motors.
"We met builders, maintainers and restorers throughout the
country who showed us what makes their regional car cultures so
special," says Ron Jaiven, GM of
Parts & Accessories, eBay Motors. "These communities are as
unique as the vehicles we picked up along the way, and it was
remarkable to see firsthand how these enthusiasts - professionals
and hobbyists alike - have used our marketplace to support their
deep automotive passions."
While the floor of the LA Auto Show exhibits future designs that
aren't yet off the assembly line, eBay Motors will show the amazing
things that can be done using vehicles on the road today. Four of
the vehicles will be available for purchase, including:
- 1969 Ford F100 Ranger "Ranch Relic" | Mike Satterfield of @TheGentlemanRacer –
Satterfield's 1969 Ford F100 Ranger is an authentic ranch truck
marked with true patina, including light rust and dings. The
exterior updates include an old hickory bed inset and gorgeous work
truck lettering to bring the aesthetic to life.
- 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T "1000 HP Budget Build" |
Christina Roki of @ChristinaRoki
– Christina built her Dodge Challenger R/T to punch above its
weight at the drag strip with the iconic Hellcat Redeye engine.

style turns heads on and off the track.
- 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 "Poor-ish GT4" | LeeC
Parts of @ScrapLifeGarage – This Porsche Cayman GT4 spent

unfortunate accident on the street. Purchased during a salvage
auction and rebuilt with manufacturer-spec parts and accessories
found on eBay Motors, it's back in action - complete with
track-appropriate livery.
- 2012 Audi R8 Twin-Turbo "Super-Kart" | LeeC Parts of
