David Loring made a clay plug in Sausolito with mud from Richardson's Bay. He made a splash mold that he took up to Oregon where I made the first part that brought back to Menlo Park, CA where I made the pre-prototype for the Prius with it. The car was exhibited at over 100 shows. I produced 1100+ electric kits suitable for VW's. Dave took the splash mold to Oakland for Bruce Weeks to make 4 bodies for him, but Bruce madee 8. Bruce made the GT-2,3,3,5 bodies. (Bruce made 1850+ GT-5's) I bought Auto-Kit from him. Toyoto bought a prototype 110+ MPG @60MPH bio-diesel "synergy drive" hybrid electric car built on a GT-5 platform from us, Shut down by FBI Counintelpro immediately afterwards (2 hour story) in 1982. 831-234=9703 Too bad that the Prius didn't happen sooner.

It doesn't have an engine or transmission and I'm planning to restore it soon. I'm wondering where I may be able to get some replacement doors for it. Theres a chunk missing from the lexan door which I need repaired or replaced. Dan Yarger 818-967-6548 Btw owners of these extremely rare cars should unite in national registry in an effort to estimate how many of these cars still exist. I just got a Invader GT5 for free.
