The Obsession
Just as my desk is littered with the crumbs of too many cookies eaten in a horrifyingly violent manner, my memory is littered with the crumbs of the stories I’ve researched, written, and edited over the years. Also, just as I occasionally wonder whether the cookie crumbs on my desk have grown stale and nibble…
The Obsession
Description Summary This Pro-Street Chevelle is a one-of-a-kind custom that’s been chopped over 7”. All-steel body, custom interior, air ride, 12-bolt rear and ladder-bar suspension. A tunnel-ram sits atop the 350ci engine, which is backed by an automatic transmission. Details This 1967 Chevelle is a one-of-a-kind custom that has been chopped 7-1/2”. All body seams have been filled, rain gutters shaved, door handles removed and bumpers smoothed. It's equipped with a 350ci Chevy engine sporting a tunnel-ram intake with two Holley 450 carburetors sitting on top, and lots of chrome and polished aluminum to go around. The engine is backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission with a Hurst shifter, transferring the power to a 12-bolt posi-traction rear with 4:56 gears, coilovers and a ladder-bar rear suspension. In 2008 the car was updated with Air Ride and Fat Man drop spindles were added. Stopping power comes from Stainless Steel Brake Company disc brakes at all four corners. This beautiful custom rolls on Billet Specialties wheels with BFGoodrich tires up front and big Mickey Thompson tires on the rear. The interior features more molding going on from the dash to the waterfall console. The dash is filled with a nice billet panel holding six Auto Meter gauges. The car is also equipped with power windows, doors and trunk. This beautiful and unique car has won awards at many major shows including Goodguys, Super Chevy, Hot Rod, Popular Hot Rodding and ISCA. It has been featured in Chevy Action magazine and was the jacket cover for a Pro-Street video sold nationwide. It was one of the cars featured in the Super Chevy Trading Card sets and was on the cover of the December 1991 issue of Popular Hot Rodding magazine, where it was also the centerfold. More recently it was a feature car for the Hershey AACA Museum Custom Car display. Summary This Pro-Street Chevelle is a one-of-a-kind custom that’s been chopped over 7”.

Description Summary A truly unique, genuine Barris Kustom's Ferrari 308 personally owned by George Barris himself. Very low miles, with a recent major service and new clutch. V8 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission. Details George Barris bought himself this Ferrari 308 GTS in 1978 as a personal indulgence after years of building some of the most memorable “Kustom” cars in history for Hollywood. Not surprisingly, he soon set to work modifying his new 308 GTS with the signature Barris Kustom’s style. On the body, front and rear fenders were dramatically flared to accommodate extra-wide wheels and tires. The pop-up headlights were shaved and replaced by driving lights behind amber covers, inspired by the contemporary 512 BB, while the headlamps were relocated to the grille below the bumper. A deep chin spoiler was made, and a custom grille and spoiler were fabricated for the rear. The 308 was then refinished a striking two-tone gold and brown color scheme, with Italian tricolore stripes and gold leaf pinstripe detailing on the upper bodywork, which ties in nicely with the gold-finished, BBS RS alloy wheels. George worked his magic on the interior, too, with reupholstered seats and a dramatic, fully customized digital instrument pod and center console, featuring futuristic digital displays and LED lights set in custom-made burl-wood panels. Period high-tech bits include an integrated NEC telephone, Sony television, Kenwood audio system, backup camera and a security key pad. Any bright interior trim – such as the steering wheel, switches and hardware – have been gold-plated. Like the bodywork and paint, the execution of the interior was done to a very high-quality standard. When it was completed, George’s 308 made a guest appearance on an episode of “Knight Rider,” alongside one of George’s other creations, K.I.T.T. The 308 starred as “Dagger D-X,” the chosen steed of the leader of an illegal underground street racing gang. Today, the car presents in amazingly well-preserved condition, a solid and strong-running 308 that has covered just 8,000 miles from new, benefiting from a fresh timing belt, tensioner and clutch service. Photos of the car with George and a Barris Kustom’s Certificate of Authenticity are included. George Barris built many cars over his long career, but only a handful were worthy enough to be kept by the “King of Kustoms” himself, and this Ferrari 308 is surely one of the most uniquely eye-catching of them all.
