Story by Rolf Norberg
W
hen we first learned of the passing of this giant in the automotive world on November 5th, we not
only thought of how much he will be missed by his many fans but also envisioned how different
this world would be without his vast contribution to the art form we know as the custom car.
For over 70 years, the name George Barris has been synonymous with the transformation of ordinary vehicles from mundane to masterpiece. Now, in a tribute to the man who
was at the forefront of his field of expertise, we can reflect on his far-reaching legacy.
Although George’s title of ‘King of Kustomizers’ was self-proclaimed, it was not only fitting but accurate, in the sense that he would most likely be the one associated with the term custom car by the
general public. Even the most uninitiated, non-automotive-oriented person who wouldn’t know George
Barris from Chuck Barris, would know of George’s work. I would think few individuals in the civilized
world would not be familiar with such television icons as the ‘General Lee’ Charger from the ‘Dukes
of Hazard,’ the ‘K.I.T.T.’ Trans Am from ‘Knight Rider’ and of course the sensational ‘Batmobile’. All
were vehicles designed and built by Barris Kustom Industries. And how many red blooded youngsters made it through their teen years without building a model car designed by George. I wonder.
In addition to the many custom cars George built for numerous television shows, he was also tasked
with creating a number of one-off designs for major film projects. This included the ‘Fireball 500’ car
(featured in this issue) for the film of the same name staring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon.
And for several decades, George was not only the ‘go to’ guy when Hollywood’s film and TV studios
needed a special feature car, he was also a personal friend of many of its major stars. Frank Sinatra,
John Wayne, Ringo Star, John Travolta, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and a very long list of others,
all had George build custom cars for them personally.
This creative genius had his hand in so many aspects of the custom car industry that it is
difficult to encompass here. Aside from taking credit for producing over 1,000 custom vehicles, he was known for his photographic and written works that filled various automotive
publications. He was also involved in the production of car shows and toured with the Custom Car Caravan sponsored by the AMT Corporation and later the Ford Motor Company.
Up until the very end, George was busy overseeing the operation of Barris Kustom Industries based
out of North Hollywood, designing clients’ vehicles and making appearances at automotive events
globally. His next venture would have been a book signing tour as his son Brett has just released
the book ‘King of Kustoms, the art of George Barris’.
One factor that separated him from many of his fellow custom car builders was the fact that he was
a people person and he made it clear that his favourite achievement was the relationships he forged
over his lengthy career. For many years, his fans here on the West Coast were graced with his presence as the Grand Marshal of the B.C. Classic and Custom Car Show in Abbotsford, B.C. With no
lack of tales to tell from his storied career, George was a joy to be around and was considered to
be the soul of the show.
While he excelled at bringing the custom car into the mainstream globally, it was the connection of
young people with the passion and excitement of custom car building he developed and perfected
that he will always be remembered for. Thank you so much for your immense contribution George.
Well done. Very well done indeed.

The SSXR Fir
The Legendary Fireball 500 Car Started
lthough it is often said the Batmobile is the most recognizable car in the world, during the late ‘60s the Fireball 500 gave
A
it a run for the money. Both were built by the legendary George Barris, who recently passed away. Interestingly, both the
original Batmobile and the only Fireball 500 were built at the same time in Barris’s Shop.
George Barris and his brother got their start building custom cars and modifying cars for customers in the early ‘50s. Soon they
were building and modifying cars for the movie and TV studios that were virtually neighbours to the Barris shop.
Along with the studios, he also customized many cars for Hollywood celebrities and sometimes would buy cool cars from the
studios that they were getting rid of...as in the case of the Monkeemobile built by Dean Jeffries. Jeffries passed it up since he
thought they were asking too much money and he could build another one if he wanted one so bad.
reball 500
d Out as a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda!
But the Fireball 500 was built for a “B” movie of the same name and was popular with teenagers, and it went on a year-long
road trip to garner publicity for the movie....while the Batmobile was in a show for kids. Teenagers in the ‘60s were the up-andcoming demographic and were highly sought after by the major advertisers, and I think they got more exposure with Frankie
Avalon and the Fireball 500 than they got from Batman and Robin’s kiddie show.
One fellow who noticed the car from Fireball 500 and always wanted it, was B.C. Lower Mainland native Vince Minnis. Although
too young to see the movie in the theatre as a kid, his love of movie cars is keen. He has owned the ‘55 Chevy from American
Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop...yes the same car. (The ‘55 destroyed in American Graffiti is a four-door sacrificial car)
Collecting all sorts of memorabilia from the Fireball 500, Minnis found the actual Fireball 500 car for sale in some museum in
Story and photos by Cam Hutchins
Kansas in the early ‘90s, but it was way out of reach financially. But he still kept gathering stuff from
the movie. Advertising, 45-rpm records, movie posters, lobby cards, advertising pamphlets and an
actual 35mm copy of the movie in its original can.
Years had ticked by when he saw an ad for a movie car on the internet. It was located in Southern
Washington, so he went to have a look. It certainly was the real deal, but again the finances did
not work. He made an offer and told them it over. After a time, the father and son who owned
the car finally relented, and the Fireball 500 came to the Lower Mainland.
The car had been restored since its movie days, and the colour scheme was slightly changed
and some decals altered, but the interior was the same one Frankie Avalon had put so many
miles on. It even had the same trailer hitch used in the movie to haul Richard Petty’s race car
around the country...while the whole country looked surprisingly like Southern California in the
movie.
The Fireball 500 started out as a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda and was always powered by a 273 cu. in. V8, but always claimed
it had a “Hemi.” Barris started with an actual car as opposed to the Batmobile, where he was given a leg up with the Lincoln
Futura show car that, dare I say, looks like a red or white-coloured Batmobile. During the Fireball 500 movie, the car is called the
Batmobile, prompting Frankie Avalon’s character to quip, “Yeah, I had mine first.”
According to the Barris website, the 1966 Barracuda’s most prominent feature is its split cockpit design ala exotic European race
car style, with the Barris take on the stabilizing tails sported by race cars such as the Corvette SR-2 and Jag D-types. Instead of
only one behind the driver, he added one to the
passenger side and they were squared off giving
a more menacing look.
The door handles were flush safety pull-down
handles instead of shaved handles, and the steering wheel was replaced with a 13-inch diameter
wheel because of the cramped cockpit. Twin
curved windshields that were originally clear, and
foam pads, formed very stylized headrests. These
combination headrest /tails were formed into one
piece with razor sharp lines and fully covered the
back seat and the trunk area of the Barracuda. In
the rear of the headrest/tails were located extra
tail lights of red reflective plastic.
Rectangular headlights had to be sourced from
Europe for the extended and customized front
end. Brushed aluminum extrusions were used as
grilles to fill the recessed opening. External rocker
Performance Plus Magazine DEC 15 / JAN 16
exhausts were used, covered in aluminum trim, and eight “Ram-Thrust”
velocity stacks were attached to the hood for a more performance
look...but not attached to the stock Commando mill.
The rear quarters of the car were extended four inches and smoothly
blended into the rolled-back body panel. Slimline taillights were used
and Barris told me the decorative horizontal chrome pieces were from
a ‘65 Chevy Malibu. All this had to be removed to get into the trunk
area to changes taillights, etc.
To further change the look of the car, all the wheel openings were
opened up in a curved manner instead of the squarish stock application...known as radiusing. The car has the original 13-inch Rader
spoked racing wheels that Barris put on, and are the same as used
on the Batmobile.
Also according to the Barris website, they claim “To complete the
external and high lustrous finish are forty coats of hand rubbed
lacquer called Fireheat which consists of multi-colour blends in
white pearl of essence, faded into gold Murano, blended throughout in reflective gold leaf, carried through into Kandy Tangerine,
then blended into translucent Kandy red and finished off in burgundy. It took four men and six days of spraying to blend these
multi colours from white fireball heat into soothing burgundy.”
This could be “Barris-speak” for “painted overnight by two very talented
guys and shipped in the morning due to time pressure from the studio.”
But hey...they also claim “Yeah it’s got a HEMI.” Pure movie magic!!
After the filming wrapped, the Fireball 500 spent a long time on a
tour promoting the movie. The cars were often repainted or additions
added that were not allowed during the rush to build the cars initially.
The Fireball got separated seats, hood pins, yellow tinted windshield,
bigger more complicated logos, but a simpler paint scheme.
Once Vince Minnis had the car, he carefully preserved it in the state
he got it in...although being the consummate body man, he always
considered repainting it to recreate the movie car. I got to photograph
the Fireball 500 for Minnis to create some artwork for Barris to autograph at the B.C. Classic & Custom Car Show.
10 Performance Plus Magazine DEC 15 / JAN 16
still has the photos I took of the
Fireball 500 on their website
and the Fireball 500 is soon to
be displayed at a Florida car
museum.
George Barris has created some
astounding cars over the years,
and we in the Lower Mainland
have been lucky to have had
Barris as the Grand Marshall of
the B.C. Classic & Custom Car
Show for a decade. Along with
the Fireball 500 and the Astra
Coupe being displayed at the
show, we were lucky to have the
actual Batmobile at the show as
well as the Stutz Bearcat from
the TV show “Bearcats,” and one
of the 1967 Oldsmobile Barris
70-X Toronados built for promotion at EXPO 67. We certainly
have been luckier than most, and
will miss the King Of Kustoms for
a very long time!
George Barris was coming to town and not only was the Fireball
500 on hand, but also the Astra Coupe that was built in the early
‘50s by Jay Everett and then modified by Barris in the early ‘60s.
JF Kustoms out of Osoyoos, B.C. had completely restored the
car for Barry Blomme, and Barris was happy to see both cars.
I had created montage portraits of both cars and Barris invited
me down to his North Hollywood shop to photograph the Batmobile and the Monkeemobile to create portraits for him. The
trip to Barris’s shop is memorable and somewhat surreal and I
highly recommend going to see it...while you still can.
The final part of the story is a bit sad in that Minnis loved the
Fireball 500 and all the memorabilia he had collected...about
300 pieces...but he always thought more people should be able
to see the car. He had taken it to a show in Ontario in 2009 and
Frankie Avalon got to be reunited with the car again.
Finally, after more than a decade of owning the Fireball 500, Minnis took it to Barrett Jackson in 2015 and got to watch George
Barris whip up the excited crowd. The Barrett Jackson website

National
Corvette
Museum
Story and photos by Benjamin Yong
E
ven if you’ve never been to Bowling Green, Kentucky, you’ve probably heard of the National Corvette Museum (NCM) that
received international fame in early 2014 when a nine-metre-deep sinkhole developed inside, swallowing up several historic
vehicles. Turns out it wasn’t all bad.
“After the sinkhole happened, we decided to make the best of the situation — or rather, make lemonade,” says Katie Frassinelli,
NCM marketing and communications manager. “The sinkhole itself, as well as the eight damaged Corvettes, became a major draw
for visitors, resulting in a 67 percent increase in tourism for 2014.”
The museum made headlines again in the fall when the most valuable of the unlucky vehicles, the 1,000,000th production Corvette,
was restored, down to the banner adorning the windshield. It resides near the same place it fell, alongside two others that were fixed
as well as the ones deemed too far gone to salvage.
NCM is located right off I-65, and the first thing people
usually notice about the museum is Skydome, a bright
yellow cone-shaped building with a pointy red top, now
also known as ground zero.
“One of the first questions we get is ‘what’s the story behind the big yellow dome?’” says Frassinelli..“Our iconic
Skydome’s design is two-fold. On the one hand, if you turn
it on its side, it looks like the taillights of a 1960s Corvette.
The other idea was to create something eye-catching that
you can see from the interstate.”
Built in 1994, NCM opened as a tribute to the iconic American sports car, which happens to be built less than half
a kilometre away at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.
And what a tribute it is: the facility measures 115,000
square-feet in size, and like the Corvette, features unique
design cues such as curved walls mixed with traditional
structural shapes.

starting out as the brainchild of an organized
group of enthusiasts dedicated to the restoration, preservation and enjoyment of the classic
vehicles.
“When the National Corvette Restorers Society
was looking to build a library and archives for
Corvette, General Motors did not financially
support it. Their reasoning was that if they
funded a museum for Corvette, then they’d
have to fund museums for other models, too,”
says Frassinelli.

ing the event, and a monitor playing back security footage of the
ground collapsing somewhere around 5:00 am.
Venture on to the Performance Area, a circular 24-metre-diameter room, showcasing famous race cars through different eras.
Technology buffs will appreciate the powertrains that have been
cutaway to give a glimpse of what’s inside the high-horsepower
engines. You can’t drive an actual Corvette here, but you can
get pretty close with the two driving simulators boasting accurate
cockpits.
The biggest single display at NCM is the aforementioned Skydome
with its 30-metre-high glass ceiling. The floor has been rebuilt and
reinforced, and this is where you will find rare production vehicles
on-loan from private collectors, and the eight victimized Corvettes.
The repaired 1,000,000th Corvette stands in stark contrast to the
crushed blob of glass and metal that was once the 1,500,000th
built in 2009.
Following the movie, travel back to the 1950s Main Street in Nostalgia Alley, complete with mid-century barbershop, soda fountain
and service station. Learn about the “father” of the Corvette,
Zora Arkus-Duntov, a Belgian engineer and race car driver who
joined General Motors and helped turn the original roadster into
a proper sports car.
Patrons visiting before January 8 will get a chance to see the Car
Part Art installation in the Exhibit Hall portion of NCM. A group of
artists working in the medium of rubber, steel and cast iron have
taken what some might consider scrap and have turned it into
creations like an Eiffel Tower made from tire tread, and a painted
tree with various pieces of automotive lighting hanging from its
branches.
The permanent exhibit should be completed by the New Year, but
in the meantime, a temporary section has been set up to illustrate The museum is located at 350 Corvette Drive in Bowling Green,
everything related to the infamous sinkhole. There are statistics open daily from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. For more information, visit

Record-Setting 1964 Shelby Cobra
Daytona Coupe Revealed
The Shell booth was the setting for the unveiling of the original (chassis #CSX2287)
1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona prototype built
entirely at the Shelby American race shop in
Venice, California. It is just one of six such
cars built between 1964 and 1965 and has
an extensive and impressive racing history
such as competing at Daytona, Reims, Le
Mans and Tour de France, just to name a
few. In March 1964, Dave MacDonald and
Bob Holbert piloted the car to a win in the
GT class at the 12 hours of Sebring. The car
is also perhaps best known for setting 25
USAC/FIA world speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah ending in November
1965. All traces of the car were lost by the
mid-’70s and it didn’t reappear until 2001 in
a rental storage unit in California. Due to a
then-estimated worth of over $4,000,000,
an extensive legal battle began after the
owner of the storage unit died, and today it
sits as part of the permanent collection at the
Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum
in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
New 1969 CR1 Camaro
Unveiled at Centerforce Booth
A new 1969 CR1 Camaro was revealed for the first time at the show
in the Centerforce Clutches booth. This example began as a stock
’69 Camaro and then was fitted with a custom CR Supercars-designed rear spoiler and front fascia as well as PIAA driving lights.
Under the hood of the CR1 is a Chevrolet Performance LS7 crate
engine complete with a Concept One pulley system, custom longtube headers, and a MagnaFlow 3-inch exhaust. The power is sent
to the rear wheels through a Centerforce clutch, Tremec six-speed
manual transmission and a 9-inch Strange Engineering rear end
with 3.89 gears and Posi-Traction. The car handles like a modern
race car thanks to Chris Alston’s Chassisworks and their tubular
A-arm front suspension and four link rear suspension complete
with adjustable coil overs all around. Finally, the stunning exterior is
finished in a beautiful custom shade of matte blue metallic paint.

Ford Makes a Few Announcements
Ford began the 2015 SEMA show by collecting three awards. Hottest Car: Ford Mustang. Hottest Truck: Ford F-Series. Hottest
Sub-Compact: Ford Focus. After that they continued to the momentum with Dave Pericak taking the stage to make some huge announcements at their Tuesday morning press conference. Announcements included an all new Ford GT and a return to Le Mans in
June 2016 with four cars and partnering with Michelin and Chip Gnassi which will debut at 24 hours at Daytona in January. Michelin
is also partnering with Ford for all of their performance tires including fitment on the Mustang. Ken Block also took the stage to
introduce the all new Focus RS with its torque vectoring setup and also to announce a specially tuned Escort RS on stage being
raffled off in support of Juvenile diabetes Research Foundation. Vaughn Gittin Jr followed Mr.Block with the unveiling of the Mustang competition spec RTR which is a 900 horsepower drift car based on the all new suspension, stiffer chassis and weighing in at
only 2,800 lbs. Ford finished it up by announcing the Ford Mustang CobraJet which is an out of the box 8 second quarter mile car.
Reserve yours because they are only making 50 cars in 2016.

Iconic GTO
28 Performance Plus Magazine DEC 15 / JAN 16
This is the story of Gary Holling’s
1966 Pontiac GTO
Story and photos by Russell Purcell
G
eneral Motors’ Pontiac division may now be extinct, but for a time, the brand was responsible for bridging the gap between the value-conscious Chevrolet division and the
company’s more premium divisions. Pontiac models were sporty, luxurious, and typically,
engineered to deliver a performance driving experience.
The iconic Pontiac GTO initially arrived in showrooms in 1964 as a performance option package on the company’s new Tempest model. This marketing move proved a success, so the
product planners recognized that they had an opportunity to create a stand-alone model using
the GTO designation. The new car arrived for 1965 and featured more aerodynamic styling
than the Tempest, and was offered in coupe, hardtop and convertible form.
The 1966 GTO was slightly longer and wider than the Tempest and featured a wider rear
track, but it retained that model’s wheelbase. As a result of these modifications, the GTO was
imposing, and had the performance car stance favoured by enthusiast drivers.
Aggressive styling cues also set the car apart from other Pontiac models, as the car has
pronounced “Coke-bottle” side contours, a recessed rear window, louvred taillights, stacked
headlights, and a wide grille.
This particular example belongs to long-time Kelowna resident Gary Holling. Holling has always been a General Motors man, but his real passion has always been for the GTO models,
of which he has owned four.
His interest in the famed Pontiac line of muscle machines began in 1976, when he purchased
his first GTO, a 1971 model, which he enjoyed thoroughly for the next 12 years. “It was that
car that hooked me on GTOs,” recalled Holling, as we reminisced about his interest in muscle
cars. “This particular car is my fourth Goat, but I have also owned another 1966 and a 1969
model that was in really sad shape, but the plan was to use the latter car for parts for the
1971.”
Holling regrets selling his first 1966 model, as it was a numbers matching 389 TriPower car
with a four-speed gearbox and posi-traction. “I owned that car for 13 years and really wish I
still had it, as it was a great car with all the options. In fact, it even had the TriPower air pan
so the hood scoop was functional, which is rather rare for these cars.”
The dedicated Pontiac fan is quick to confess that he has never been interested in later GTO
models, as Pontiac had lost its way somewhat when it came to the evolution of the nameplate.
“The 1972 GTO had less horsepower, and the 1973 and 1974 cars weren’t even really GTOs!
As far as I am concerned, they were Grand-Ams! Even worse, the 1974 model is simply a
Ventura with lipstick on it to make it look special.”
Mr. Holling acquired this almost-stock 1966 GTO five years ago. While not a numbers matching car like his former ‘66 model, it still has the heart of a Goat. The previous owner had
hired a Vancouver shop that specializes in Pontiac engines to replace the original 389 with
a 400 from a 1969 model.
Gary has been working around cars since he was sixteen years old, so he tries to do most of
the maintenance and restoration work on his project cars himself. He enjoys working on older
cars because if you suffer a breakdown, you can usually find a way to remedy the situation
if you possess basic mechanical knowledge.
A little research helped Holling determine that this car had been assembled in Baltimore, and
based on the its serial number, it is an early production model. He also discovered that the
car was originally black in colour with a black top and interior.
“If I was to decide to restore the car, I would contact the Pontiac Historical Society to ensure
all the details were correct, but I bought this car as a fun driver. The quality of the paint is
obviously not show quality, and she has a couple of quirks, but all fifty-year-olds do. And
unfortunately, the car has a few dings and scrapes from parking lot battles with car doors.”
The affable businessman has only put
about 4,000 miles on the car over the
five years that he has owned it, but
admits that he has enjoyed every single
one as the car has had a few modifications over the years to help improve on
its performance.
“The previous owner installed a fourcore aluminum radiator and an electric
fan, as he was concerned about the car
overheating, which can be a real concern
in an arid region like the Okanagan Valley. If you are stuck in traffic, you can
simply switch the fan on to help keep the
engine cool.”
A quick road test through the winding
back roads of Kelowna revealed that
for the period, the GTO was a capable
handler, and despite the absence of
power brakes, the car stopped with authority. Holling added a rear sway bar to
the car, a feature that would arrive on
later models, which greatly reduced the
amount of lean and body roll and helped
get power to the ground. The car accelerates strong as you guide the long arm
of the floor-mounted, four-speed manual
transmission up and down the gearbox,
and it turns really nicely as GM always
equipped the model with a fast steering
box.
While not a daily driver, Gary likes to
use the classic Pontiac muscle car to
30 Performance Plus Magazine DEC 15 / JAN 16
cruise to local car shows and meet
other car people. He also likes to
get behind the wheel and explore
Kelowna and its environs when the
weather cooperates. “This car has
the 3.55 gears which are great for
driving around town, but not great
for long trips as they tend to make
the engine rev a little high at upper
highway speeds.”
The interior of the 1966 GTO is
roomy enough for five adults and
the car came equipped with Strato
bucket seats which featured high
backs and thinner contoured cushions. Adjustable head restraints were
available as an option. A redesigned
instrument panel comprised four circular gauges and an attractive walnut
trim panel.
Hollings has other four-wheeled projects on the go, but he always makes
sure that the GTO gets special attention. It is parked in the garage,
serviced regularly, and properly winterized in the fall. “I fire the car up occasionally to make sure everything is
operating as it should, and of course
to hear that glorious rumble from the
big V8. Nothing sounds like an old
V8-powered muscle car!”

New Quick Cool Carburetor Insulator
Kit from Quick Fuel Technology
Quick Fuel Technology’s new Quick Cool carb insulator kit reduces heat transfer to
the carburetor by both deflecting heat away from the
carb main body and fuel bowl
area, and also reducing heat
transfer from the manifold
flange to the carb base. This
eliminates elevated fuel temperatures which is the cause
of many problems related
to the carburetor such as
vapour lock, erratic idle and
unresponsiveness to adjustments. The kit is a thin aluminum poly-core sandwich that
fits between the carburetor
and manifold. It is designed
for 4150-style carb flanges and fits Holley, QFT, and Street Demon carbs.

AMSOIL Expands Signature
Series Line with 0W-40
Synthetic Motor Oil
AMSOIL has expanded its premium Signature Series
synthetic motor oil line by adding a 0W-40 viscosity
that is ideal for use with high horsepower Chrysler and
Nissan applications. The oil is formulated to withstand
the stress and high heat associated with these engines
by providing outstanding wear protection and promoting
engine longevity. The Signature Series engine lubricant
reduces oil consumption and emissions while resisting
thermal breakdown and viscosity loss due to mechanical shear. It is available for a number of applications
including Dodge Charger and Challenger 6.1L and
6.4L, Dodge Viper 8.3L and 8.4L and Nissan GT-R just
to name a few.
