huh, it turns out, Galpin and the Autopian.com share a media center production thing, and Galpin has just gotten started on making documentary videos about Porsche, starting with Magnus, then Matt Farah, then Bruce Meyer (when are they going to get Seinfeld?)

Galpin has a Porsche store called Porsche Santa Clarita, and it has one of the biggest Cars & Coffees in all of LA the first Sunday of every month, and the dealership has a Porsche museum called the “Wunderground” in its basement

The Austin Hatcher Foundation for treatment of pediatric cancer has an industrial arts treatment program I just learned of, where children with cancer and their families, as part of the Austin Hatcher Foundation STEAM therapy program, teamed up with Factory Five Racing, to build and sell this to raise funds for the charity

That's Austin's mom. I hadn't met her until now, but I've posted a couple articles about the foundation, as in 2015 https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=austin+hatcher Dan Gurney, Galpin, and Goodguys worked with it to help out

The Austin Hatcher Foundation provides families free mental and behavioral health services. If you know a family impacted by childhood cancer, please direct them to https://www.hatcherfoundation.org, or have them call  (434)243-3471. 

This car will be auctioned by Bring A Trailer, online, between Nov 26th and Dec 03rd

The vehicle will be available for auction in winter 2023, with all proceeds benefiting AHF's mission of providing comprehensive coordinated care and mental health services at no cost to pediatric cancer patients and their families.

Galpin Ford's Boss Day in 1969

Jeff Dunham bought the Hard Hat Hauler and had Dave Shuten at Galpin Auto Sports restore it

Evidently this Barris creation came to life in 1971 from a 1/25th scale model, and features a triple blown "500hp" Chrysler Hemi engine, hand made headers, Cragar wheels, and 15" rear Goodyear slicks. The front has a working fork lift mounted ahead of the front axle.

it was up on Ebay in 2014 for about 10 thou http://oppositelock.kinja.com/found-on-ebay-george-barris-hard-hat-hauler-1503880108

somewhat changed and not kept up to it's original show car looks

This unique hot rod concept was brought to life size by Bob Larivee of Promotions Incorporated and  Barris Kustom Industries.

Designed by Harry Bradly, this originated as a 1⁄25th scale model kit and then duplicated in replica to a full size operable car. The concept of the American Hard Hat worker was incorporated into a combo T bucket - forklift.

Race Car Specialties of Tarzana, were commissioned to perform the machine work and construction of the chassis and torsion bar suspension. Carrera coiled 50/50 shocks were used on the rear frame center mount, and dual air shocks were installed on the front end.

A 23-T Roadster fiberglass lightweight body and turtle deck were channeled over the frame 4 inches in front and three inches in the rear. Vertical steering was installed with a Corvair box and Ansen red metal flake steering wheel.

Three 671 blowers with Cragar drives are stacked on the engine with an Enderly Fuel injection air scoop. All engine accessories and decorative chrome ornaments are provided by Cal Custom Accessories. Stewart Warner dials and gauges were used in the embossed aluminum firewall.

A lunch box case houses a Moon gas tank and battery. Extra wide reversed front and rear wheels were engineered by Cragar, then face plates have character artist renditions of Kennedy, Muskey, Agnew and Reagan mounted as hubcaps.

Galpin is a very cool car dealership, and they come to several car shows, the Grand National, SEMA, etc... and they make these cool cardboard toy cars you can assemble

This example of how cool Galpin is, is one reason why they are the only car dealership I have a tag for.

the Pink Panthermobile has been restored and is in the museum at Galpin!

Ed Newton (worked on orbitron, did shirt design for Roth, and was a grad of Art Center College of Design, Roach Studios) designed it, collaborating with Dan Woods (of Milk Truck fame), Joe Bailon (inventor of Candy Apple paint) and Bill Hines (“The Leadslinger”).

Behind the driver, and the engine, is the Pleasure Capsule, what designer Ed “Newt” Newton intended as the ultimate limousine: a lie-down compartment of shag carpeting, satin and Naugahyde with square-tufted upholstery, mirrors, about half a dozen faux-fur pillows, a rotary phone, a bar, a black-and-white TV and a vase with flowers. All in pink.

Did they find Roth's truck, or just the grill?

Galpin Motors announced that it has found the famed and long lost Ed Roth 56 Ford F-100 Pickup, and though there isn't much to lend credibility to the green truck being the real deal in the photo except a bolt on grill bar, if anyone knows the difference between real Roth stuff and some wanna be, it's the people at Galpin.

Galpin Auto Sports brought a funny car Maverick

Galpin has a really cool wrap on their toy hauler trailer

Galpin's cool collection of 60's show cars, the Milk Truck, Ice, Engine Co. No13, and the Pizza Wagon

Take a look at the difference in steering. The fire truck has a tiller, the Pizza Wagon has a butterfly, and the Ice has a small deep dish wheel. The Milk truck was covered extensively at SEMA last year  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2014/01/galpin-auto-sports-brought-some-cool.html
