I believe that car was orginally built by George Barris in the mid to late 70's. :yesnod:

Back in it's day it was a radical show car........ :crazy:

Although, they're probably adding up $200k spent over the entire car's career. If that's the case, then my car has $50k spent on it ! :lol:

My mistake,
This one is a 'replica / inspiration' of the original George Barris car.
