Steve Tansy’s “The Pool Hustler” is one of the most whimsical and distinctive custom hot rods ever to appear at auction. Featuring a real billiards table mounted on its roof and game-inspired details across its bodywork, the car feels more like a moving piece of art than a road vehicle.
The green-and-gold paint, the cues set into the sides, and the ball-like wheel elements complete an aesthetic that stands far outside convention. Beneath the playful exterior lies a V8 Hemi engine, though the car is currently non-running, making it even more of a collectible showpiece.
The auction was held by Historics Auctioneers in Brooklands, England, with the car offered without a reserve price. The Pool Hustler is a rare moment where imagination, nostalgia, and humor blend perfectly within custom car culture, resulting in a creation that is truly unforgettable.
