Not sure about this one. I didn't see a single press release online and no note on his website. |

Re: Boyd Coddington, Dead. RIP
I would have hated to work for the guy. Pero, he had great vision on most of his builds and I enjoyed most all of his creations/projects. Sad to see him go, if he really went.

World-renowned tuner and hot rod king Boyd Coddington died at 6:20 am this morning. The cause of death is still unknown. Coddington, founder of Boyds Wheels and designer of prize-winning custom cars, had recently been hospitalized twice for an undisclosed medical condition. Although he was though to be in recovery, rumors of his untimely death began circulating today throughout the forums. A spokesperson for Boyd Coddington's corporation has confirmed to Jalopnik that those rumors are true. The company will be releasing a statement later today many did not like him... but a terrible loss for the automotive enthusiasts. thoughts n prayers with his family |

Re: rip boyd coddington
he has been in there since the beginning of Jan. My boss and him were best friends and buisness partners. My boss has the number 1 Boydster. sold it to Boyd last Nov. and then bought it back 3 weeks ago.
It really is sad, I had spoke to him on several occasions. Really nice guy.
