Until yesterday I didn't know they existed. There are a few photos on Google images, but I am sure you already looked there. I am glad they went with grey (my favorite color) instead of a flag theme paint job. I like it alot. I bet an original will be hard to find. It does look like it would be fairly easy to replicated.

If the article is right, there are only 23 known at this point. Never heard of them until you posted!

I heard that back in the late 80's the MOCO went and bought as many of these as they could find and destroyed them for fear of repercussions from certain groups. I would love to own one.

Destroyed??? Repercussions?? You can't be serious.

Worst case scenario is they re-paint them.
