a couple cool vans

Hey guys, that strange looking delivery van in the Bat Man TV show looks an awful lot like the one that was used in the movie, "Geepers Creepers". Anyone? (comment from JSFury)

Just a moment to appreciate the incredible talented artist that created this, Armand is the incredible artist that has been the senior design concept genius behind Cars 2 with Pixar, but also worked at Disney Feature Animation, and his credits include the scenes of The Prince of Egypt, The Road to Eldorado, Spirit Stallion of the Cimmaron, Sinbad, Shark Tale, Flushed Away, The Bee Movie, Princess and the Frog, and A Christmas Carol http://www.armandbaltazar.com/animation.htm

Armand is another of the incredible Art Center College of Design graduates that I frequently celebrate here on this blog,

Better hurry to the Micro Car Museum in Madison Georgia, it's getting auctioned off in 4 months

Learned about it at http://www.sportscardigest.com/bruce-weiner-microcar-museum-offered-by-rm-auctions/

Bugatti owners better bewarned that the meek are inheriting the earth, and the German cars are conquering the French!

After another year of 'fine tuning'  Team Isetta  returned to Hillsborough on the 26th of August 2012  to participate in the Parade D' Elegance.

The real surprise came when the Team Isetta car was awarded both The Chairman's Award (“presented to the exhibitor most deserving of recognition by the Concours Chairman and Vice-Chairman.”) and The People's Choice Award (“This award recognizes the automobile you would most like to drive right off the field this afternoon.”)

 Last year the People's Choice Award was given to Mozart's 1937 Bugatti Type 57 Corsica (valued "in excess of $25 million")

Know why Pablo gets a full post advert? Cause Isetta are a favorite of mine, South Americans are cool, and I'd love to hang out and talk cars with him. Yeah, that's it. No nonsense advertising gimmics like I see everyday from someone who has clients who will pay for getting a link on my site, just an honest guy making a living restoring cool old cars. I say, vote for Pablo!  

Barn finds, a year in review of what's been pulled out, put up for sale, or auctioned off

 That is a barn, sometimes they are easy to distinguish, and sometimes, they look like a lot of wood in a vague pile that might have space under it

 Inside you mghight find a pile of stuff... like the above 1961 Renault Carvelle, or even better the below 1956 Jaguar xk 140.

 Or sometimes you might just see that pile has a tail light under it. Right in the above photo to the bottom left

 or the above pile with a hood and a bit of windshield

 turns out to be a 1969 GTO

 Look in the back, a lot of people are not happy about every poor out of money dreamer asking if they want that car hauled away, and so they pushed it around to the back of the garage

 or threw a tarp over it. Above, a 68 Mustang, below, a Boss 302 Mustang

So.. that is about all you need to know about barnfinds, now, here are the ones that were up for sale last year

1927 Erskine (offshoot of Studebaker) model 50 sedan

32 Ford

1932 Packard

1937 Lagonda

1939 Hupmobile Senior

1947 Allard K1

1947 Pontiac woody (these woodys are worth upward of 50 thou in this condition)

A Tucker

1949 Delahaye 135

1953 Corvette (only 251 were made, they sucked, but they are worth a lot to a collector)

1954 Glasspar G2

 1957 Mercedes Gullwing 300SL

 1957 Morgan Plus 4

 cool 1959 Taylor electric cart

 1959 Morris Mini

 B/FX dragster that raced in 1966... damn, want that engine

 1968 Charger

 Even a High Country Special Mustang


now here are the Corvettes

58

 59

 63 split window

 64 Stingray

and this was found after 20 years of sitting in a shipping container in Waipahu Hawaii

So keep your eyes on http://www.barnfinds.com for the ones that come out of hiding in the future... you never can tell what rare or previously unheard of custom will be found
