Is it real or Memorex or just a Tylenol headache looking for a head?

[LUKE'57]

There was a VERY poorly photoshopped picture of a Bobby Allison car for sale with all kinds of glitches (they even found the postcard of a completely different car that was used to illustrate the racing "pedigree" of what was obviously a bogus deal by putting a picture of their car over the original) that was being discussed.

Someone said that even my model pics were more realistic than the pics of the real stuff used in the ad so I responded to an inquiry, tongue in cheek on both our parts, about the pic of my Wood Bros. Mercury and the accuracy of some auctions with this, thought ya'll might get a laugh............
-------------------------------------------------

Early Model, I'll have to get back to you on that request for a "buy it now" price. There are many factors that have to be considered like rarity, races won, laps led, how many are remaining and just what it really cost me to work up the intricate story it takes to run a scam like thi.......er.........uh.....auction....yeah....auc tion.....that's the ticket... of this magnitude.

I will reply to this inquiry after having consulted several experts on my staff, including, but not limited to, P.T. Barnum, Col. Tom Parker, Miss Cleo and that stellar individual who books the guests for The Jerry Springer Show. I hope you understand the time and effort it takes to fabricate..........I mean...compile such documentation and will be patient. The results will be Pulitzer Prize winning fiction.....I mean.........far reaching and misleadin..........I mean.........illuminating.

In the meantime, please feel free to buy...I mean, bid on....this newly discovered gem found just outside of Ashevllle NC under a tarp in the back of an old deserted whiskey warehouse. It was in such marvelous shape that all we did was run a Swiffer over it to remove the small coating of surface dust. Bid high and bid often, ya'll.

Good story, Luke! Your photography always looks as real as can be.
Love these old racers!

[rsxse240]

hahaha, that's hillarious!

[kaho]

Wow so is this real? Or did you make those fences and the gravel ground in 1/24 scale?

[LUKE'57]

Yep, it's real.........real small, like 1/25 scale. The fence is made from steel rod and the metal mesh from a real car's aircleaner. The privacy fence is made from the sticks from popsicles and corn dogs for the angle braces. The gravel is HO model railroad ballast, three or four colors mixed together.

Love your work, Luke, love your stories especially. You could fool anyone with your pics. What car is that behind you in the full diorama picture? Say '64 Galaxie and be my hero (have we been over this already?).

ive always wanted to build a diorama but i dont have anywhere to put it

[LUKE'57]

Hey willimo, meet Roxanna, one of my best girls. Late model 302, .040 over with headers and floor mounted three speed. She's the perfect band bus too. Hauls all the instruments, including my doghouse bass and is much easier to park than a Silver Eagle.

[willimo]

Beautiful machine, Luke. Thanks for showing her off.

[Dave5.0]

That is great. You are a fantastic builder and have great skills in building and story telling!

[klutz_100]

As always, you astound and amuse all in the same breath.
I love the build, the story AND the thread titile

What, you couldn't weather the fence in the background?!?!? Sheeeesh.

J/K, that is an awesome diorama!!! I love reading your tales galore. They are always interesting to say the least.
