This 20,000 original mile car was sold to Premier Studios by the same
person who sold Movie Mike the #1 HERO car. This was was built as an exact
100% replica of the Hero 1 and Hero 2 cars. This would be Hero 3, or more
accurately Replica 1. This is the only car in the world that is exactly
identical to the Movie cars 1 and 2, and was created by the same builder.
He has even signed the deck lid.
It was purchased to be used as an additional backup hero car since they
kept having 'accidents' on the set, but in the end wasn't needed and was
not used on film.
This car was purchased by a customer of mine who loves to collect tv
& movie cars, and was eventually used as a trade-in to us on a high
dollar 'flying rodent' TV car replica to crown his collection.
The engine is a 351M with about 5,000 miles on it. It is a very detailed
restoration, including full undercarriage as well.
As you may know, 'Movie Mike' turned down offers up to $100,000 for the
Hero 1 car, and the Hero 2 car sold for over $50,000. Mike did a wonderful
job on this car, and its a great testament to his abilities.
The images to the right were taken at Premier Studios of all three vehicles.
