"Located in Baldwin Park —the epicenter of lowrider culture—Duran’s is big on two things: family and turning out the most beautifully painted lowriders around," reads the description of the winner on the eBay website.

"In fact, Rico has a good chunk of his family tree working for him to make sure that every lowrider that rolls out of his shop is perfect. And if it requires an all-nighter or two, fret not: Rico and family will fire up the barbecue alongside the paint booth."
