AMT1068 GEORGE BARRIS' CHRYSLER POWERED "PLYMOUTH FIREBALL 500"
COMMEMORATIVE PACKAGE 1/25 SCALE
SPECIAL THANKS GO TO: MR. GEORGE BARRIS
.....for creating something unique and wonderful!
DESCRIPTION:
George Barris is known around the world as the King of the Kustoms. He
turned everyday cars into outright celebrities, featured in TV shows and
on movie screens too! So naturally, George and his Barris Kustom crew
were the ones who designed and built a high-powered, sleek-styled
roadster, named after and featured in American International’s 1966
motion picture called :Fireball 500. It starred three of the decade’s
favorite young actors: Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and Fabian!
Starting as a stock 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, one of the Fireball 500’s
outstanding features was its dual-cowl cockpits, streamlined into twin
curved windshields.
Another very exciting feature of the
Fireball 500 was the paintwork. A super high-luster paint finish that
took seven men, six days and forty coats of hand-rubbed lacquer to get
the wild multicolored blends from pearl white to deep burgundy. The kats
at AMT are proud to bring you this very special edition of George
Barris’ vintage Fireball 500 kit!
