The Black Moon can be yours!

Over the summer, I shared a video featuring Linda Hamilton piloting the "Black Moon" sports car in the forgotten film "Black Moon Rising".  This fictitious vehicle was actually a real car known as the Wingho Concordia II.  The car has surfaced on ebay, where it is available in very complete looking condition for a BIN of only $15,000 USD.

As a movie car, it isn't very famous, but I love the fact that it is essentially a drivable "copy" of the Ferrari 512 Modulo by Pininfarina.  For a one of a kind, hand-built dream car with Hollywood provenance, I would say $15,000 represents a fair price, or even a bargain.  It appears the car is based on a VW platform.  If you buy this car, expect a visit from me for a ride in it.

Black Moon Pursuit!

Here's a fun video featuring music by Electric Youth, over scenes from the 1986 film "Black Moon Rising."  The sports car piloted by Linda Hamilton in the video is a supercar protoype called the Black Moon--which was actually a one-off Canadian-built car called the Wingho Concordia II. The space-like design appears to be based heavily on the Pininfarina Modulo concept car from 1970. I think the Concordia II was probably built on a Firebird chassis or some other domestic platform.
