    I don't find that car very attractive and the clone is even worse.

    Wow, $3600 for the work at Barris's shop. That was some serious coin back then. I have to agree though, it's not exactly on my top list of Barris cars.

    I agree that's not the best of Barris. OTOH, 41 Fords are so ugly that I always imagined that when the ***embly line workers first saw them, they all went home and told their wives to forget about overtime for a couple of years.

    Notice I didn't use the words "Attractive" or "Beautiful" describing the car... ;-)

  11. Yes, I also thought this car had been built, as a tribute, in candy green. I was in the '90's and I thought some magazine covered the build

    A lot of great metal work, no doubt, but I think it was a poor design. Seems like everything is out of proportion.
