No, nothing was dummied on mine. Hahn just displayed it a sign SAYING it was a turbo. I had no idea they were going to do that until after and I got to see a couple pics.

 

It is not as tough as some would think.

I never said I would not drive it for 20K. I just would not pay $50K. I also have a have a personel bug about Geroge.

None of this is directly related to the work done here on the HHR as I am just and have always been a Dean Jefferies fan the real builder of many of the fames Barris cars. I just hate it when George claims to be the builder of many cars and seldom gives the guys who really built them credit.

I have even worked with George twice in the past. A very Nice guy in a bad coat. I even just saw him 3 weeks ago here in Ohio. George is a good promoter but not really a builder.

Sam his brother was the real builder. Too bad he died too young.

I hope this make it a little clearer it is more a carzy personel bug for me than anything done to the HHR.

Lower the price and remove the Barris part and I give it a

 

Body completly shaved & top chopped 2". (from his e-bay ad) It sure doesn't look like he chopped the car 2"? But if he did I wonder how he sees out of it?

 

I am agreeing with you Tim

 

I like the outside mods, the inside..meh.
For my tastes, the asking price is about 25K too high-even then I'd be "just looking".

 

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. As for the build, George has his shop N. Hollywood, but he also uses a shop in O.C. & Corona/Riverside to do his builds as well. Maybe only a hand full of builders left in the U.S. can still do this kind of metal work. Back in their day his bother Sam mainly did all metal work & George desgn, paint, manage, promoted. George stills does designing & pr with a great eye, but as mention others do the fab. This was done at Riverside location. Why I have his signature of approval, mainly verification for buyer.

Yes a tough time to be selling now, especially after watching L.V. Barrett/Jackson & what custom cars go for at their no-reserve. I had this sold last year I thought at a great price, but my bis-partner thought not so an turn down offer. Now she kicking herself because of how economy is now with cars. Be nice to sell, cause I sure need the room. If not just wait till economy better all I can do. Personally I think should keep it. Just like everything else, whan a famous person pass their memorabilia shoots way up. Thank god George still alive. When his time does come, sure allot of his projects be listed on ebay.

 

What was actually done by the Barris shop?

 

I can't believe you would revel in the thought of when someone passed on, that you could profit from it..

Whew !!! You're special !!!

PS: I sell stuff for on eBay maybe 100 Bucks, & have bigger & more pics than you have for this..

4 pics.. Hey man, eBay has a Value pack of 12 pics for .75 cents
which has Zoom & Enlarged pics.

 

I was going to buy it, but it's not a PANEL, and I'm not liking the gull wing doors.In fact, I don't like orange, either. DISCLAIMER: No offense was meant to those of you that own orange HHRs.
Now, I don't like it at all.

 

Doesn't have gull-wing doors, its got lambo doors. gull wing would be much cooler.
