Would the green car be the "Green Hornet"? The antenna is messing me up unless the car has a power operated unit. I think I saw it there the last time I was there.

Most likely they are the made uo continuation versions.

The real Green Hornet is with Craig Jackson.

I've seen the Green Hornet in Las Vegas. But hey I'm wrong a lot. I took these photos in '23.

The black GT350 I believe is a Revology continuation build. Green & Red recreation prototypes are Barry Smith.

Agreed the Green Hornet does not have tricolored rocker stripes anymore

The Green Hornet has the blue Conelec badge high up on the DS fender, no trim at the base of the vinyl top and a completely black rear taillight panel and is a bright green..etc I have a bunch of pics from SAAC50 that I could post ...once I figure out how.  8)

Reviewing pictures from the Hagerty website that is a copy of the Green Hornet. They make copies of everything. Thank you for the correction.

The SAI tour guides do not always make it clear that some vehicles in SAI's Heritage center are newer built Licensee products from companies like Superformance, Revology, OVC, Legendary GT, Tuscany, etc. so its easy for visitors to mistakenly believe they are looking at an original.

In the defense of the tour guide that was my third visit to the SAI Heritage center but chose not to go with a guide. I just assumed Little Red and the Green Hornet was on loan. Maybe a placard giving details of the car would have helped unless my old eyes missed that.
