    It's a VOX. I think you meant "... as good as Brian May"

    Definitely a different flavor of crack, but still pipe-worthy.

    I love Barris customs but this is Bobby Brown league crack pipe. Maybe 175 for the Hirohata Merc, or "Sams Merc". Something legendary.

    Yet again I'm going against the grain and voting Nice Price. I just love this car. Built by George Barris? In running condition, unrestored? The electronics (well, electrics) are functional and mainly intact? Sign me to the label. Now, if I had this kind of money, I'd put it on this rather than some Hemi Cuda or whatever Barrett Jackson tells me is cool. Then I'd change the tubes, plug in a Les Paul and rock out (even though it would sound like hell. I play drums).

    Say what you will about Barris. The man is a visionary. His creations are a bit unorthodox but his work stands out is a world of dull ordinary cars. I voted Nice, because, as ugly as the Vox is it would be hard to replicate. Not that anyone would want to.
    And I personally like the 1989 version of the Batmobile better. (I believe Barris designed that one too)

    I was a kid when Barris was king and there was something special about him, Big Daddy Roth and the other nut cases. Their designs have not aged particularly well but in the day they were freakin' awesome, especially to a 7 year old motorhead.
    If money and nostalgia had no limits then it would be a nice price. Today in my world on my budget, I can't even buy a piece small enough to get in the pipe.

    @mytdawg: I have had to have two standards with NPOCP- if it is totally out of my realm of possibility (basically anything over $10k) then I vote as if my current finances were not the issue just whether the price is reasonable or not. If it is below $10k then I vote as if I would actually consider buying it. So, if I had the cash, a Barris original 175mph Rock Band on wheels would definitely be in my garage.

    This is a Barris special. I don't think you can really put a price on a one-off like this. True, some would say it's worthless. I say it's priceless.

    @UshiGuinea pig: Nope - it looks like a Vox Super Continental organ. Cost about $1,200 in 1967. Very desirable these days, and love those black keys.

    I'm imagining the buyer's disappointment when he mashes the loud pedal, and all it does is turn on the reverb.
    It's a culturally significant ride, but that's a lot of coin, so I had to vote crack pipe.

    Crack Pipe. It's probably my least favorite Barris Kustom.

    @Tiberiuswise: Yeah, since a lot of NCOCP candidates (like this one) have stratospheric prices, I vote based on this: If I hit the Powerball, or marry Ted Turner and had nigh-unlimited funds, would this be something I'd buy just for the hell of it?
    More often than not the answer is still no.
