    Found it on Vortex, they dont really explain anything about it, was hoping someone had an interesting story behind this scene...Anti-theft deterrent?

    That might be better than a trunk monkey.

    It appears to be a Manta kit car from the early 1970s.

    Do you really need a reason to drive a cool-ass '70s kit car with a fake rotten corpse riding shot gun?

    Hey! That is one of the 2 base cars for the infamous Coyote X of Harcastle and McCormick fame.

    Do not mock that car!!!! Stephen J Cannel worked to hard to give us another 80's show with a Mike Post soundtrack and a car as a central character!

    A guy that lived down the street from me as a kid had a yellow one, just like in the original post. My mom watched Hardcastle & McCormick regularly, so I was quite familiar with the Coyote, and thought the dude down the street had to be one cool mamma jamma.
