WOW is this cool...Barris?

I WANT THAT .

just the body..

screw the VW crap, she needs powered by atleast a V8 or a bigblock GMC V6 .

 

Hmmm??? It takes the phrase "street car" to
whole other level!

 

Question is, if a whole load of wild Seventies Kustoms are re-appearing,
are we looking at the start of a seventies kustom revival ?

Is wild and wackey about to make a come back ?

( I grew up seeing stuff like these at the shows, and it's what got me into custom building, so I can't help but have a certain love of the style, I know that building outlandish creations with limited practical road useablity is looked down on by many,
but customs are not meant to be 100% practical )

 

Yes it needs a twin blower hemi in it and it would be nasty

 

Dunno, but '70s-style custom vans seem to be at least trying to make a comeback...

 

I would totally take that to a college campus and bang lots of chicks in it.....again

 

Never seen such varied opinions about the same thing before. I'm cracking up over some of these responses.

 

Maybe a Corvair transmission ?

 

Looks more like a kiddies fairground ride than a 'showcar' to me.Can't anyone one come up with a way to delete the '70's?

Agreed it would be a good parking lot tram/shuttle. Maybe San Francisco. (stadiums, convention center, downtown, etc.) or even a large car swap meet. Looks like it came off of Main St. Disneyland.

Stand and drive position makes a Divco look easy.
Prolly a VW air cooled engine to avoid fitting a radiator.
Paint sure didn't stick to the galvanized front!
Asking $10,000. Could maybe get it for less.
Someone dig out/scan their 1973 Hot Rod feature!

 

I won't lie. I freakin love it.

 

The environMENTALs in Cambridge must suffer head explosions every time the guy starts it!

 

That appeals to me on so many levels... I'd gladly drive that all over the place!

 

A little too "Wally World" for my tastes...though I dig the 70's "mild customs" with crazy paint and industrial-size air-scoops

 

Yeah, could be, I hadn't thought of that.

 

Sounds like one of my old one-liners.

"I'd like to bang her again .... and make it an even once!"

 

I'm a bit of an amusement park junkie, and if you think that paint is over the top, you're wrong! Trollies and early streetcars were often owned by the the same company that owned the amusement park. The trollies of early days were quite ornate.
Check out these early people movers.... Not too far off,eh?

 

But it does have multiple lights, that's good, I think.

 

I think it needs to be turned in to a wheelie popper and race the stagecoach of Ed Jones

 

I don't usually like these that much, but this one is kind of cool!

 

Spring 1975 issue of Hot Rod Show World lists the owner as Lou Edwards of Boston,Mass.

 

totally know what you mean... like if your sister got a boob job and...

nevermind.
