Thanks, Dave.

 

it's all bullshit. the other barris car is also a clone of frank monteleones '52? ford convertible. this guy was good friends with barris right up till george's death and wanted to finish it before george died so he could get george to sign off on it being the real deal but didn't get it done. he's been building this car himself for many years. barry mazza who restored and owns the original "aztec" has pictures of this car being built and also made the grill in this car. if you could see the car with no interior, the whole car is mig welded together. he's just trying to run up the value. ask him to see pictures of it how he got it or of the rebuild, shockingly he has nothing.

 

by the way i should add this is a well done build. i have always been a fan of the original and since it's not around i'm glad someone cloned it. there are a bunch of really good clones of famous cars around now and it's the only chance most of us will ever get to see them. but call it what it is. this isn't a case where someone bullshitted him into buying a fake car, he built it himself, he knows the truth!

 

As usual, seeing this event through your lenses is a genuine treat. I especially like the "Flat-top Bob" '61 Buick - it very closely resembles my dream car!
Would love to attend in person someday. Thanks for posting the pics.

Tom, I don't say it often enough but thank you again for sharing your talents.

 

Thanks, but it is my pleasure, I really enjoy doing this stuff!
