I was the runner up in the bidding when the studio sold it off.
I've studied this car on DVD, and to be truthful I can't tell exactly what the car is. I DO know it was at least two cars that were shot...the "nice" shots may have been an SC that was rebadged a Carrera (interior looked more like an SC, but the back end said Carrera. Of coursee '84 Carreras DID look a lot like SCs on the inside.)

The one that goes off the bridge is clearly a narrow bodied impact bumper car (no SC/Carrera flares in the rear and smaller Fuchs).

Did the studio sell off the wrecked car or the "show" car? When did they do that?
