real cool memories for sure. and thank you for the info.


Tedder had two different cars, the white car with the rainbow stripe is the second car and not the first black/yellow Motech car

the trunk latch broke loose from the tail panel, allowing the trunk lid to flop onto the sail panels, somewhat protecting the rear window.
the car was put on the frame machine and pulled by an old German guy who worked there.
he knew what he was doing, as the car still wears the original trunk floor pan and the original rear rails.
the trunk lid and back glass, plus the dutchman panel are original as well.
