Barris kustoms arrive in the UK

I work for Burnham autos the UK`s top rod shop (burnhamautos.com) and a customer has delivered two old barris kustoms from the 70`s for some repair work they are snake pit and sidewinder check out barris.com if you`ve forgotten what they look like. I hope someone will be able to tell me some history like who where they built for or were there any magazine articles. They have been in france for the last 10 years but any history would be great.

 

Any current pics of the two of them?

 

I`ll take some pictures tomorrow they have both survived quite well. The sidewinder has bent forks and is missing the rear wing and the snake pit has some bent suspension and is missing a few small parts.

What were they doing in France for so long?

 

They were brought to france to be sold to euro disney for a george barris display but it never took place. here are some photos.

 

oh right!
