Big Daddy Roth trike?
Interesting Clist find. I have no knowledge of Roth's output, but this trike does appear to be similar to other bikes bearing his name.
FYI for anyone interested. Big Daddy Roth Trike 3 Wheeler Project

Check out the "American Beetle" on the Roth page.
Ed Roth Custom Cars - View the Ed Roth Custom Cars Museum Looks like someone manufactured a watered down version of a Roth design. Might have been Big Daddy, maybe not.

Best line in the ad: "It has a Corvar motor with duel carbs and an automatic trans in it."
Gotta love the misspelling.................................

A little more digging and I found this at Hemmings:
It might actually be a Roth trike! (But personally, I have better things to spend 4 grand or 23 grand on.) Hemmings Find of the Day – 1972 Ed Roth trike | Hemmings Daily

I think it is UNLIKELY that this is a real Roth trike, just a "Roth Inspired" trike.
I think it is more likely that somebody saw the Hemmings article and said, Hey, this is the perfect time to drag out that POS trike in my back yard and make a few buck off some sucker!"
