How many of these things were built? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif This one has stripes, so it's not the same car.

An interesting paragraph on a dealers website that may or may not explain what happened here:

"Be forewarned that if you are gullible enough to purchase an <u>illegally molded copy</u> of Mark Towle's Mach 5, you are certain to experience legal entanglement with the Mach 5 franchise and experience the total loss of your investment! Our Speed Racer Mach 5 turnkey is fully drivable and one of our licensed replicas recently made a U.S. trek 3000 miles from coast to coast."
