          Not all 60s show cars were immobile chromed conversation pieces; my pal Dave also restored the Ice Truck (1967), designed by Ed Newton and built by Dan Woods, featuring an all aluminum blown Buick 215 out of Mickey Thompson dragster and IRS/IFS. Scary fast and corners too.pic.twitter.com/eja4R3G4XQ

          Forget the Munster Koach, Dragula, and the Monkeemobile, the finest weirdo 60s Barris car was the Raiders Coach, built in '66 for Paul Revere & the Raiders. 2 injected 389 Pontiac motors on a drive unit pulling a stage coach via 5th wheel gooseneck.pic.twitter.com/FZKU5yaAJF

          Paul Revere & the Raiders, "SS 396," made as a promotional 45 single in 1965 for Chevy dealers. Flip side was "Corvair Baby." Better than anything ever made by the Grateful Deadhttps://youtu.be/sg0tP54XjTU

          By 1969 Pontiac signed the Raiders away from Chevrolet to extol the virtues of the GTO Judge over the Chevelle 396. I can imagine this triggered some fierce battles among GM's various marketing departmentshttps://youtu.be/Ea4OgV7wGHs
