BURBANK, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- A VIP event marks the historical delivery of the first Barris Kustom 2010 Chevrolet Camaro "Spirit" to a Chevrolet dealership in the USA. This long awaited event is Saturday, April 10th from 1 to 3PM at Community Chevrolet, one of the oldest Chevrolet dealerships in California. George Barris, "King of the Auto Kustomizers" and American icon, will drive the 1st car into the dealership himself. Hot rods and the famed Barris 1966 Batmobile will be displayed.

This highly anticipated kustom Chevrolet Camaro represents a quantum shift in the availability of kustom vehicles from the famous Barris Kustom vehicle design house.  "Barris Kustom has entered a new chapter by delivering affordable kustom vehicles direct to the dealer showroom," said George Barris.  Operating for over 60 years, Barris has been developing unique one-of-a-kind vehicles for film & TV and celebrities.  He has been thrilling movie and pop-culture fans with his famous TV Batmobile, Munster Koach, Beverly Hillbilly truck, Knightrider KITT and others.

Using the 2010 Camaro 2SS RS as a base, he added these kustom features and others:

• Kustom painted hood with deep pearl and metallic accents emphasizing wide, aggressive stance of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.

• Kustom 3 bar chrome legend grill.
• "Spirit" name is added to both fenders along with Barris Kustom Crest insignia.
• Barris Kustom dash plaque hand signed by George Barris.

The Barris "Spirit" Camaro comes with a Certificate of Authenticity certifying the vehicle was kustomized by Barris Kustom.
