OK this is a trip. I don't play video games but this is apparently from the Grand Theft Auto IV (2013?) game. It's about 2 minutes long:

A show car in a game is a cool idea! Too bad that a model kit was never produced of this vehicle.
I have seen the real Wrecker in person a few years ago. It has an inscription painted on the side that says Barris designed and built it, which is total BS! It was originally built around 1970 and called the Turnpike Hauler, with a blue paint job. Apparently built by Dick Dean and Dan Woods from an Ed Newton design. Barris bought the car, and gave it a makeover for the Redd Fox TV show, although the show was cancelled before it ever was filmed for the show.

Chuck, your scratch build of the Wrecker is incredible! Thanks … it was a very very short run on a 3D print .. it had numerous fitment issues as with MOST 3D stuff .. it was very trying and yes it does have several scratchbuilt Plastruct Pieces .. trying to secure the decals as we speak ! Thanks for chiming in ! |
