According to the article it is "considered one of George Barris’ most iconic customs."
If you don't mind my saying I am not at all familiar with this car. With all the Barris creations that appeared as toys and model kits I'm curious to learn more about the Golden Sahara.

Barris takes credit for others work again. He claims to have invented Pearl paint, even though a Ford show car had it 2 years before he "invented" it along with Candy and Metal flake paint. Also took credit for designing and building all the systems including the self driving radar system.

This has always looked pregnant to me. And not in a wonderfully good way.

Thanks Dave, I saved the link. My ADD will not let me read the whole article in one sitting. I have to read in small bits.
