Behold the ultimate Derrick Thomas collector's item: a 1947 Ford Coupe hot rod. And it can be yours for $45,000. The hot rod is listed on eBay and expires, like, really, really soon. The $45,000 reserve hasn't been met yet.

The hot rod has only 1,964 miles on it and comes complete with a No. 58 license plate in tribute to the Kansas City Chiefs icon. More details after the jump.



The eBay description says:

This is put up for sale in celebration of Derrick Thomas' induction to the Hall of Fame. This is the first time this car has been up for sale since the estate auction.

Has a chromed, fuel-injected, V-8 Cobra engine. The car is green with a textured hand-painted snake graphic on both sides of it. Has a custom V-Windshield. It has a custom green leather interior. Has a billet steering wheel. Number 58 license plate go with the car. All of the driver's display is in green LED lights. There is a touch-screen, Alpine CVA-1000 monitor receiver. A HUGE illuminated stereo system in the trunk with the number 58 on the glass of it. The car has modern suspension with chrome detailing and four-wheel disk breaks. Power everything. Colorado Customs' wheels with low profile tires.

It was built by Vintage Fabrications and over $225,000 were invested into making this amazing vehicle. The bottom line is this car is fast, one-of-a-kind, stunning looking, and perfect for any football or hotrod fan or a promoter to show.
