1975 George Barris SnakePit with 6 Ford V-8s surfaces for sale
-George Barris, perhaps best known for creating the 1966 Batmobile, built many wild vehicles in his career, some crazier than others. The 1975 George Barris SnakePit is essentially a kid's Hot Wheel dream come true with not one, not two, but six Ford V-8 engines powering it.
-Unfortunately, it doesn't run in its current state, but the car has surfaced for sale in a classified ad through Hemming's after residing in a private collection for the past 10 years.
-The SnakePit was built to destroy and set speed records "at speeds that stagger the imagination," and was valued at around $100,000 in the 1970s. That's almost half a million dollars adjusting for inflation.
-Owning this piece of history will cost you even more than that. The sale price is listed at $750,000, though the final price is negotiable.
