Anyone know if they will show up at Saac 45?

Good question.  The Green Hornet was not at SAAC 44.  My guess would be not, unfortunately.
Nothing beats a classic!

Are there any photos of the back end of the car?

I can only assume they painted the taillight panel silver and it is a raised panel version. However, with the added "EXP 500' lettering in the side stripes, I wonder if it has the valance cut-out with trim or a stamped GT rear valance panel used later in the 67 model year? (and in '68)

Did anyone notice the SAI LAX lot stickers '061' on both sides of the lower windshield? Brian Styles is most likely the person to thank for that detail.

Rich,   I found these on Facebook.

Thanks Brian!

As Eric mentioned, it looks like they followed the Riverside LLTC photos, well almost.
Where are those new vintage photos? I guess we have to wait for the documentary, huh.

I seem to recall one of the original engineers was the source.

I am going to say there is probably not a lot of "artistic license" being used

Love the font on those decklid letters

I think they are unique (1 off) to Little Red.
It appears both of the '68 style prototypes have a slightly thinner font on those decklid letters.

Looks like a Times New Roman style of font on the decklid.

  That car is stellar!   Love it.  There will be more tributes to this.  I'm in the middle of making the November-December 1966 version: Magstars, angled grill one.

Cant wait to see the 1968 version 🤭

For years the only photo I recall ever seeing of the car was a side view, and just assumed it was essentially the clean form of 67 production models, which captured my imagination as a lad.  I realize I am in a minority,  but greatful the lipstick was dropped elsewise... that said, to read the R&T tail of driving it, and seeing still extant warms the core of the soul.

hope it remains as a quasi '67, the Green Hornet is a'68 version of a coupe

Only if he's going to offer the pair at Scottsdale. A little pre auction showing to possible phone bidders
