Mark Hamill should have stuck with being a Jedi Knight.
Me thinks Master Yoda had just a little more work to do in developing Mark's acting skills.

I believe there was 2 red and 1 gold one made. The one in the auction has a rear clip nothing like the original 3. The original 3 had a chevy bowtie worked into the tail light treatment. The car in the Ebay auction is probably a knock-off.

It's not just you Steve. I didn't like it then and my feelings haven't changed over the years. Also thought the movie was kinda lame.

(But I'm just old and cranky!)

I just barfed in my mouth... The movie is best described as rediculously-bad, and the car is somewhere far below that.

Seriously, the car has late-70's Oldsmo-buick headlights. Not much custom about that. And that chain thing-- Yeah.... There's an engineering marvel.

The entire mess should be categorized under "Why Bother".
