This listing is "buy it now" for one issue from a group of ten various car magazines, 1961-1986, from the George Barris personal car magazine collection.

I recently purchased the collection from George's son. 
The collection consists of 1000s of car magazines from the 1950-1970s; individual issues, hardbound sets by year and magazine title, magazines in collectible original binders, and car show programs.
His son stated that these are the issues that George Barris kept for his own private collection.
I will be listing many of them. 
I have one "Barris Kustom Industries Certificate of Authenticity", signed and dated by George's son, stating I purchased "the original George Barris vintage magazine collection from his son". A copy will be provided with every item sold from the collection.

To see the collection:
  1. Go to "visit my store" or click on the store symbol next to my feedback. 
  2. Enter Barris collection in my store's search box, then enter, and you will see all of the magazines and programs from the collection.
This listing is for individual issues, sold separately.
