Love Machine

[barrisfan- Mark-78Pinto]

I just got finished with another glue bomb that i bought a few years ago. It was a Supervan but after somebody posted a picture of the original Love Machine, I turned this one into that. Nothing special with paint. Just plain old Krylon yellow. The front windshield and side windows were so covered in glue that I had no chioce but to sand them down and coat them with Future Floor Polish to make them even look 1/2 way decent. I took the disco ball from a junk Vandal I have and put that inside. I painted the interior with plain old Testors flat red and put baking soda down before it dried to give it that flocked look. It turned out ok I think
This is not a contest vehicle by no means but it will look cool next to the other Supervan and pink Love Machine (along with all of the other Barris cars and such I have)

I Think You Mean The Love Machine,............ Not The Dream Machine?

You are right, I dont know why I had Dream Machine LOL!!!! ???Must have been something else i was thinking of. Either way, I am going to try and find another one and turn it into the transporter from Back To The Future ( I think it was in #2). They are a fun, easy build and was way ahead of their/it's time.
THANKS

Thats the first one of those I've ever seen actually built! Looks great! Always reminds me of the cabs on those early Hot Wheels Heavyweights series. Very slick.

Dan Barten has one unbuilt in the box ..... ;D hhmmm.. I wonder where he got it (?) . . . . .

The first Love Machine/Supervan was painted pink and on the show circuit for a year. Or at least that is what I have been able to find out. I took a parts Supervan and truned it into that one. My wife calls it the Barbie mobile ;D
Like I had mentioned before, this one was a bomb and needed a bunch of work. It's far from perfect now but will look ok with the rest. I am sure Mr Barris will get a kick out of it.
I am always looking so if anybody has one (built, parts or otherwise), let me know

THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. This is a great site and I am hooked bad

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I will be getting pictures up of the entire Barris collection in the near future. This will include different versions of the same vehicle.
