Title: O/T Barris Movie and TV car auction. Post by: customFC on May 17, 2005, 10:25:29 AM OK, I know this is off topic, but if you can't find something interesting on these pages, your not into cars.
Several pages of auctions from George Barris' collection. Click on a pic of the car to get the history. Interesting how low some of these cars sold for. http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=USA&screen=Catalogue&iSaleNo=13278# Caution.....for dreamers only!!!

Lots of cool cars, sure to bring back plenty of memories to some of the "old guys" round here Cheers Tony Title: Re: O/T Barris Movie and TV car auction.

I thought the same thing. Whatever is popular at the time, I guess. Also, Dukes of Hazard wrecked about 10 cars while filming each episode, so what are you really buying? Interesting all round, really. For my money, I'd grab the American Graffitti Chev! A nice little nostalgia trip. :D Title: Re: O/T Barris Movie and TV car auction.

Quick someone pinch me. Leigh Title: Re: O/T Barris Movie and TV car auction. Post by: Bessie_3 on May 20, 2005, 05:11:45 AM What a site, there were some bargains there. Being a Caddilac type of bloke lot 832 a '64 Caddie Fleetwood for $14,000 looked good, until I saw lot 862 a '72 Caddie Hearse (Eddie Munster would be proud). Lot 871 a '60 Caddie Coupe was about the money at $27,000.
The best buy had to be lot 868 Richard Petty's 1986 Winston Cup Pontiac race car in full trim for only $6,000. The picture only showed the left hand side so maybe the right hand side had some battle damage after leaning on a few walls during the '86 season. Ah, for dreamers only alright. Derrick.

They arrived yesterday and managed a quick peek at the flamed book before they were confiscated until I was "officially" given them.
Let me just say WOW. some of the kustomizing in there was fantastic. If you like wild then get yourself a copy of these to read. Cheers Al |
