Mark, Is there any chance your Outlaw will be at the Back to the Fifties car show this month? The rules indicate 1964 and earlier, and the original was on a 1960 CarCraft cover so that's not a show stopper. We are going to be in Coh***ett on June 10-16 to go fishing, and then go over to St Paul Thursday night for the 43rd BTTF - our first time. I was searching the web tonight and the original Outlaw appears to be in the Petersen Automotive Museum ba*****t Vault in Los Angeles. http://www.museumofamericanspeed.com/Ed-Roths-Outlaw-Recreation,14314.html The article said the original was built at a cost of $800. The rear wheels and tires likely cost that much now. It seems there is another Outlaw clone right here in the Kansas City area that belongs to Fritz Schenck. If we do not cross paths in Minnesota, I will plan on visiting the one closer to home. And yes, that car is a real nice unit. -Bill
HRM, March 2008 issue, the Orbitron surfaced in Mexico. While leafing through the write up, Mark's name jumps off the pages at me! Just an issue I kept, great to re read it now and see a HAMB god mentioned.
I do not attend back to the fifties, It is a long sad story that I won't go into here. with that being said, any Hambers that are in town for BTT50's are welcome to come over if they like, just send me a PM here and arrange it. I am probably 45 minutes from St Paul
"mark moriarity, would you please report to your car." yes, that was a sad day for real car folk Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I've been to Moriarity's fellas..... That's just a small section of his living room. None of this little man cave part section to go and enjoy. His whole freakin' house is a man cave. Sick. Oh...watch out for the Rottweiler... Mark gives him junk yard bumpers to chew on for treats.
Wow, great collection. I would love to see it if I ever get to Minnesota. In the mean time how about more pictures and history on some of the cars. I am familiar with the Roth vehicles but would like to knw more about the Astorian.
I remember seeing your Outlaw at Mokan years ago. Was that on its way to Starbird's? I don't know the reason, but it sure would cl*** up the show if you brought something to BTTFs.
