Ha! leg show roadster, set up by J&J Chassis check out the front springs, built by Larry Jongerius

 

Do you know if the lady that was on HAMB and started to restore this one is still working on it. Haven't seen an update in a very long time.

 

I bumped the Thread to the top to see if anyone may have some news...Hopefully just an oil change turn the key ready to go...and Life is Good...

 

Still not finished but looking more like the mid Sixties Monster before everyone went to muscle and Pony cars....

I built that coupe from scratch about 15yrs ago It was always black. Sold it about 8yrs ago. It went to Manitoba

 

The last I'd seen was it was running and driving, but that has been 8 years ago. Her name is Kathy, she lived South of Houston, and her screen name is "Kisam", and the car is named "Tuffy". This is the last post about the car going to the roundup: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tuffy-does-roundup.689653/
I Love that Coupe!

I was with my Grandfather in 1961 when he went to a Plymouth dealer in either Bowling Green or Glasgow, Kentucky and bought a new '61 Plymouth. When he passed in 1967, I would have liked to have gotten it, but I don't know what happened to it. You

ANYBODY KNOW WHERE THIS CAR IS NOW? FRIEND DIED , WIFE SOLD IT TO WHERE?

 

I would like to know more about this RPU as well, I have another picture of it somewhere but I’d really like some details and better quality pictures

edit..found the other picture of the RPU in front of Winfield’s shop

 

thanks to Steve,
car was sold to a person in MERCED, Ca.

ironic, where car was bought in 1978

 

If it's not already it should be on the Wheels and Stance thread.

 

The Dobie Gillis coupe to the right. Ex Chrisman coupe after Barris fixed it up.

 

The Chrisman coupe was fixed just right before Barris touched it.

 

Shadow, Gene is still around and may be able to shed light on that pickup...it might still lead nowhere but I'd like to hear from Gene...Anybody here know him to give him a hello...I think he may be a Member here...

 

Must admit I like the Barris version, always have!
Never really sure why it got such a bad rap.
Was it because it was a ‘famous’ car before Barris got it?

Would it have been better received if he had started from scratch?!

 

YES

 

In the '60s there was a Pop-Artist of some note who bought a drawing by daVinci and erased it. Titled Drawn by da Vinci Erased by Rashenburg and displayed it. To me that is what Barris did, built by Chrisman erased by Barris. It is a long time deal with cars. If you think it is finished just watch what the next owner does to it. As long as they exist they are never finished.

 

I'm shooting for a sixties era on this one.
Been putting it together for the last few months.
Old hand laid glass body.
'64 283
Powerglide Trans
58 Chevy Posi rear
62 Chevy Rear wheels with WW cheater slicks
10 spoke mags w bias ply fronts
Original cut down 32 shell

 

You're on the right track, Gonzo. The huge whitewalls and 12 spokes are not right, but that's an easy fix.
