Barry Grant's 49 For Sale

Anyone got a 100g's + layin' around for this thing? I wish I did. What a gorgeous chassis.

AWD anyone?

First of all, that rear driveshaft is nuts, and hes going to need a huge output shaft... or am i missing something? And wtf is the blower doing in that last picture? Just chillin haha????

I'm not 100% on what you mean with the first question, lol. But that's an old "potvin" (also wicked awesome goalie) style blower.

Edit; It is setup for AWD, I'm assuming you're confused about the transfer case type thing? (distribution thingymajigger on an AWD?)

Hmmm. Mud bogger...

Is it finished? Unless it is a whole lot more done than that...it isn't worth that much. Just think how much more it will take to finish it on top of the current price.....

The chassis and part of the body work is all that is done in those pics. Not even the whole driveline. Not even a whole body yet. No glass. No interior. No final body work. No paint. No floorboards (maybe no body mounts). No chrome. No lighting. No wiring. No gauges. and the list goes on.

If I had money to burn (yeah....right!) I would pay chip foose a couple hundred grand and have a completed car that started as whatever I chose.

I meant to post the link, lol. And I'm pretty sure some people would pay for a one-off chromoly chassis, custom AWD/Independent suspension street-rod.

Troy Trepanier.....That name makes a lot of difference as well. If Troy designed and built it...its as good as anything Chip Foose can do. I assumed Barry Grant was doing it in house.

The link helps. LOL

I agree. Kept looking at the picture thinking that was Troy leaning on the tire but yet the shop looks like Barry's. Now it makes sense. Brian is correct - if Troy built it then it's about as good as you can get.

I would not recognize either Troy or Barry if they walked up to me and said hi. I just know Troy's work from seeing it in pictures and on TV.

Rad rides by Troy. Seen several cars on TV. Wild stuff.

It is still a "project" for whoever buys it. It will cost the asking price (or more) to get Troy to finish it.

We all know it will not be your average car guy that buys it and finishes it in his 2 car garage out behind his house.
