Mod Squad Woodie (1968)


FYI - pretty sure the Mod Squad Woodie is alive and well in Arizona.
from what I learned thru the years, they drove a junker off the cliff in the show and kept the original. a friend of mine's uncle was a mechanic with Paramount Studios or the production company and ended up with the car after the show was finished. When the uncle got too old to keep it, he sold it to his nephew, my friend. After a bunch of years and lots of work, my friend sold it to my brother-in-law who lived in Hawaii and the car was kept on our farm in Arizona for many years. It was sold to a guy in Phoenix and it was on the cover of "Phoenix Magazine" in Feb '09. the link below is to a page in that magazine, since I can't find a link to the cover.

unfortunately, we do not have any documents linking the car to the show. the only thing in our possession is a key chain with a plastic tab with Paramount Studios on it.

I vaguely recall the scene where they said goodbye to the Woodie, as it burned in the desert iirc. Anyone got a picture of that scene?
