Craigslist treasures

How cool is this!!! My buddy sees ad on Craigslist for a hot rod, he can't get out there, so he asks me to drive out to check it out for him, so a 45 min drive towards LA, in traffic, to this old building, where this old timer is waiting, we go inside and peel off the car cover off this shoe box ford and holly cow !!!! This car has barris badges on it, I try not to get too excited and look it over, listen to his story , then he pulls out certificates authenticating its the real deal, and this car was advertised for under 20k, well after some negotiations and stories, I drove it home, wouldn't you!!!

 

Need more PICS!

 

More pictures please!!!!
You could have gotten that badge pic form the internet! LOL

hahahaha what they said

 

Can't be hard to figure this out. If it has it's original paint, there are only so many 'shoeboxes' out there that rolled out of the Barris shop in red.... of note. There are plenty that are not noteworthy too that will not be of the caliber we're all hoping for.

Over the last 50 years almost anything can be badged and passed off..... I hope I'm wrong and it's something good.

 

anyone can buy barris crests.

 

found this on google could it be

 

So...your friend finds the car on Craigslist and wants you, his friend, to check it out for him...and you end up buying it out from under him?...some friend you are...

 

Here it is

 

And I didn't buy it for me, it was his money

 

When I get home from shopping with the wife I will post pics of the barris certificate of authenticity

 

Think I saw pics of this car not too long ago on the HAMB ???. I'm remembering the painted Pontiac grille

 

What 3wLarry said....Some friend !!!

 

Yeah, this car was discussed a bit ago. I can't find the thread. Very cool either way. All I'd do is get the pontiac grille back in chrome. Good score.

 

Yeah it's a cool great driving car except for flying hub caps, had to stop twice to scoop them off the freeway

 

Your a Top Bloke,any chance you can checkout a car in Bakersfield for me,thanks mate ?

Gaz!

 

Here ya go guys, oh but I bet you can buy these off the Internet also

 

I agree he is a great friend he drove 45 minutes to go look at and purchase a car FOR HIS FRIEND!!! Read the thread before you bash a guy

 

Congrats - so, any pics of when it was first built? any not so obvious modifications done to it?
so, what is the story on the coupe on trailer in backround?

 

There was a a video on Youtube of that same car not long ago. Does it have a electric popper in the trunk? If it does I'm SURE it is the same car.
