[QUOTE=Hmel '74] i dont know.  it looks like it's the real deal. http://missloumotormafia.wordpress.com/2008/08/26/farrah-fawcetts-foxy-vette/
compare the pics. especially the odometer.
dont think he'll get 1.2 mil, but i think some collector will buy it...
[/QUOTE]

This current ebay listing and the pictures from the 2001 ebay listing do appear to be the same car. The picture of the car that Farrah is posing with has different wheels. Also the head lights appear to have covers on them? Any documentation that a car with that vin# was customized by Barris and titled to Farrah Fawcett? Regardless of the period style if he thinks it's worth a fraction of 1.2 mil it should have been at Barrett Jackson or something washed and maybe detailed a little bit with a crap load of paperwork.
Had my checkbook out but I think I'll hold off for a bit.LOL
She was one sweet lady. What was that show? Bay Watch?? I always though it was called something else.

Gotta remember...this was done in the LATE '70's/early '80s...cars like this were all the rage then. Performance was basically dead....the only way to really stand out was to go full custom. Even at that, you could see cars like this just aboot everywhere you looked.
If it just wasn't for the pimpy arsed interior....yeeeesh!
Does anyone REALLY think Farrah(or any other woman) would actually DRIVE this car...in daylight?

Prolly not.
 
Nearly picked a fight wit a kid in a Nappa store once. Thought his '70's vintage Chevelle wit a wheezing, 350, two barrel was a fast car. S'pose it was by "70's standards.



There is no substitute for low end torque!
