    I'll bet it would be worth a whole lot more if it was autographed by George Barris.

    Did George Barris autograph it? It would be worth more money if George Barris autographed it.

    Sure it was autographed by George Barris. Not the famous customizer, just some guy with the same name....

    If I read the ad right, George autographed the car, he autographed the odometer, he autographed the flathead/OD trans and he autographed the pleated interior.

    Should'a taken the pen away from the guy!

    I'd kick his ass if he wrote all over my car. I sure as hell wouldn't tell people about it.

    And for only $39K it can be yours! Honestly, it either doesn't photograph well or it's simply not that impressive. Here's a photo I found of it:

    There's another one running around here in Texas. It was at the Coastal A's car show here in Corpus Christi a couple years ago. I've got pics somewhere around here but this car was a blue color and autographed near the radiator tin. The car was beautiful. I'll look for some pics and see if I can get them posted. By the way, the show I mentioned above is this weekend and starts on Friday running thru Sunday. It's a good little show and has been going on for 15-20 years.

    Barris autographs are becoming like Barris crests were in the 50's...If he stands next to it to long, it ends up autographed.

    Would it be worth more if it wasn't vandalized? Maybe the seller is just being as honest as he can about the damage.
