If you have ever dreamed of owing a weird, 1970s show rod now’s your chance! Yes, the George Barris Lil’ Stinker Manure Spreader could be yours! The asking price for the non-running and driving machine is $15,500 and while it seems to be in fine condition, it is basically yard art. It isn’t that the engine is broken or the transmission or something, it was never actually designed to be driven, apparently. Yes, you could certainly invest into the prospect of designing a driveline for the rig but then there’s the awesome chance that you’ll die in the process of motoring down the road.

We do not know the story behind the commission of this one. The seller does not have a huge handle on it either as there seem to be some questions as to who has owned it over the course of its life, etc. The spreader was apparently part of the traveling display that was bookended by the Boothill Express. Remember that one? It was the hot rodded funeral carriage.

Anyway thing thing has an element of cool to it and the thing has been cared for like a proper show car, apparently. Would you make it run? Would you stick it in a display? Would you just mock the person that bought it? Barris really was like the king of these odd rods and as much as we bag on them, they had their day in the sun and people loved ’em. At least some people did…
