They don't look like Mr. Mikes. He usually puts a seam right down the middle, unless I'm mistaken.
John Willhoff even messaged me about these. He wondered if they were movie cars, since they both appear to be identical. But not that I'm aware of.

Those are the missing cars from the movie "The Change-Up". Here's a pic from the movie. Notice the wheels.

I heard that they had trashed them, and it looks like they sure did.

Interesting. They look like they might clean up decently. Sort of.

Well, at least Fieros got some exposure.  The wheels are still nice.

I wonder if they painted those case with something cheap and quick for the movie, with no concern for how long it would last?

If anyone here goes to look at these, please get the VINs and the options for John Willhoff.

Hard to tell. The paint looks like kwrap in the pics, but I'm thinking it's just pollen.

If I get a chance this weekend I will check them out, the ad says they are around here. I must finish the paint project at the house this weekend, thats the first thing. Ive seen the movie, not exactly Academy Award material. ......

I understand. Completely. Life is what happens when you're making plans for what you want to do.

A local friend of mine saw the repost. I think he's going to look at them.
I was going to try to save him a trip, if they were trashed.
