What makes some car people truly stand out from the crowd is that will to never give up on the craziest dreams. Heck, if we had the facilities, the money and, most importantly, the mechanical skills we’d open our own experimental auto shop. We’d create incredible vehicles that sometimes defy the rules of driving and that look like nothing else on this planet. Oh, wait, the Parkers Brothers are doing that already.
We’ve had the pleasure to stumble upon their creations four years ago when we met a real-life, rideable version of the light cycle from Tron: Legacy. The little beast was powered by a 96-volt electric motor and had all the details the movie featured. Naturally, the two brainiacs have been quite busy ever since, and further one-of-a-kind creations have followed with some breeds even winning international esteem.
Today, their Hollywood projects are so many the Parker brothers even built a museum out of the vehicles that starred in movies. Among others, Marc and Shannon have a street-legal Batman Tumbler, Optimus Prime and the renown Ghost Busters vehicle, the Ecto-1.
They keep all these cars parked in their shop in Port Canaveral, Florida, but judging by the shop’s website, daily tours of each car are available for those interested.
We stuck our noses in their video collection and also found the 2013 Gumball 3000 car called Incenarator. The concept-looking vehicle was specially built for wrestler John Cena, who hit the grid with it two years ago. Sure, this one is just one of the many cars the brainiacs have both designed and built. But we have no intention to spoilt it, so we’ll leave you with Barcroft Cars’ video below.
