If you happen to be in the greater Burbank area this weekend, you might want to swing by Community Chevrolet on Saturday. Legendary car customizer George Barris is scheduled to unveil his latest project - a kustomized 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS RS - by driving the car straight to the dealer himself. Called the "Spirit" Camaro, the car is designed to be affordable for the working class Joe, meaning there aren't any wild power adders under the hood.

Instead, Barris focused on creating a unique exterior for the General Motors muscle car. The hood and front fenders all get a striking paint job in the buyer's choice of either red or yellow, complete with pearl accents. The grille has been swapped for a new three-bar unit designed to give the car a classic feel. The look won't be for everyone, but it could be your only chance to own an original Barris creation. You can order your very own through your local Chevrolet dealer, who will contact Community Chevrolet in turn.

Barris made a name for himself by creating some of Hollywood's most iconic cars and trucks. His work took center stage on shows like The Beverly Hillbillies, The Munsters and the original Batman. He even turned out the very first KITT for Knight Rider back before NBC had its way with the concept. So far, there's no word on how many Spirit Camaros will be produced, or how much Barris will want for each one. Stay tuned.

Uh...

Hmmm...

Well...



Not a fan of this one, I am sorry to say.

 

I have never cared for George's work... this does nothing to change my opinion.

 

George needs to retire... again.

 

sometimes things are just "right" when they leave the factory....plain black with no stripes and a light tint is just "right" for me....all those Barris stripes just take away from the stunning product and lines of the car...too much big striping....looks like High School to me...The grille is not bad,....but that is all....

 

It looks. . .taller. Not a good thing.

 

Looks better than his red/yellow challenger w lambo doors.

Er, yuck.

That guy's not a 'customizer', he's a 'vandalizer'. If someone did that to my car I'd be damned upset.

Must be a California thing?

 

Please make it stop...

 

I don't think I like it either

 

We discussed this in CamaroZ28.Com Podcast #240. Have a listen!

It was hard not to be brutal....but it does make the car look...(cough) emBARRISing.
