Built for the 1977 motion picture "Damnation Alley",
starring George Peppard (Banacek, and The A-Team), and Jan-Michael Vincent.
I had thought this functional vehicle long since
destroyed, until a recent reappearance in a 1998 made-for-TV movie called
"APEX".
After expressing my excitement of seeing
it to a friend, he later returned from an L.A. vacation with this passing
shot of it. (Apparently with a For Sale sign in the front window...)
Note the triangular axle, sporting three
truck tires each.
Missing is the accordian-pleated center section,
(like a city bus uses) and original roof mounted rocket launcher.
The fact that this vehicle was built functional,
rather than a "mock up model" for filming, makes it rare indeed.
