raspberrywolf Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi there, This has probably been asked and answered but since I am still learning could anyone tell me whatever became of that George Barris beauty?? I know there was a contest that you could win a replica but what became of the original? Also does anyone have or ever seen the Revell model of it? Thank you so much in advance! *Vera* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I actually have one of the model kits. They show up every now and then on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I take it that it is still in the box... or did you build it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinberries Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 bernie - cant believe there is such a thing; can you post a pic of the model kit when you get a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspberrywolf Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have since now read that the original "Raspberry Rolls" was given away in a contest and a young girl whose parents didn't think she should bother to enter the contest because she never had won anything...well, the young girl from Florida went ahead, entered and won...lucky girl (MJ is there something you aren't telling us LOL!!) I wonder if she kept it and if she didn't I bet it's the biggest regret of her life for not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 For all we know, it might still be in Florida! Keep your eyes peeled, MJ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I know I don't have it!!!! But I'll keep an eye out - probably more likely down by Bessieboo's area though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinberries Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 wow, what a freak of nature! this should've gotten airtime in the chuck barris movie 'confessions of a dangerous mind' or whtaever it was called.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywolf Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Ummm Austinberries, it's not a creation of Chuck Barris from the "Gong Show" but rather a classic hotroad creation from the legendary "King of Kustomizers" George Barris and his family. Hope that helps to clear things up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
