woahh thats weird

 

Uh, yeah. Weird is right. Kinda looks like the Riddler or Joker might jump out of it any time!


But whatever. . . .

 

WOW! That's alot of hard work put in that hot rod. The roof needs something though IMO. Maybe a Buick Special multi piece back window that would get rid of some of the slab side on the roof pillar.

 

ewww!!

 

well, lets add a round portal window from a pinto wagon

 

Words fail me...and that doesn't happen too often. But somebody is willing to pay $7800 for it, so I guess it must be a matter of taste...

 

Ummmmm.... huhhhh.... What can I say..... Yikes!!!!! Not my taste in cars....

 

Blecchhh! Those headlight openings look like they're pointing straight down. Many things I think are unappealing- including the Caddy taillights

 

I really like the real, artificial louvers. NOT

 

This brings back a statement that was once said about another car, some people shouldn't be aloud to touch a car.

 

I think its cool! Not something that I would own, but lots of time invested.

 

It looks like a Barris creation out of the late 50's early 60's some of the cars from that era are similar in style,it will be interesting to see what it finally sells for.

 

to much yellow and what the heck with the roof , almost the ugliest thing ive seen ....

 

Not a fan, though props to who ver built it. They had a vision of what they wanted we will never know what that was but it is interesting non the less. It reminds me of the bat-mobile from the TV series.

 

I really like the car ! That is a decent looking kustom that should have been from the early 60's or at least that is the look it has now . There was a lot of work put into that car and really shows .
Now that's not my cup of tea but still a really nice looking kustom for sure .

I can dig it. There are parts of it that I dont like, but its not my car and I aint buyin it. Good luck to the seller. Different for sure.

 

Holy **** George Barris on crack ! I'd rather eat dirt

 

I agree, somone had a love for mods for sure Kudo's to the guy for taking that much time to do something he liked. I wouldnt want it but i dont have the balls to try and even start a project that size!

 

19 bids high bid of $9,900.00 did not make reserve,guess He will be keeping it a while longer

 

What a train wreck. If people are willing to spend 10K on a cluster like that, I think I'll lower my standards about 10 notches and get rich.
