Kirkland, known as the “The Little City That Could,” is eight miles from metropolitan Seattle. Its claim to fame is that Costco formerly called it home and used the town for inspiration when it came time to name its in-house line of products. Kirkland is a charming and quaint Washington town where you wouldn’t expect to see a ’34 International chop rod – let alone one with LED headlights, piggyback off-road suspension, and the V-8 from a mid-’00s Corvette – but it’s where Keith Northrup, the builder of the car you see here, has lived for over 20 years.
