This is the closest shot that I have showing a portion of the rear of the car. It's the stretched car but should be the same as the earlier version. My best guess would be that the blue stripe wraps completely up and over the trunk area.

Hi John,  the only thing I can add is this photo of the car that I have.........note it's a "short" car unlike Waynes.  What's really odd, or interesting to note is that my pic and yours are similar in that they're the shorter car but the stars are different if you look closely.  On my pic below you'll note the blue wraps around like Waynes but his stars are completely white like yours.  In my pic it shows what looks like gold medallions commemorating specific polices departments or agencies inside them. My best guess and choice would be to wrap the blue around like Waynes pic and add white stars over the hood, trunk and down the sides as they show.  Hope I didn't confuse the matter and it's of some help.  I tried to pick out the class and number on the windshields to see if I could get a match but I can't make out the ones on the window on other than it looks  like 440 (can't make out the class however) whereas your pic is 335 a/fx class & Waynes is number 2041.  If I come across any others I'll be happy to share.  Cheers, Tim

Hi wayne do you know if he had stars on the roof also I notice that are a couple versions of this car in question

To the best of my knowledge the stars along the roof and hood are only present on the restored/replica car from a few years back. I don't believe that there were any starts on the original paint schemes.

I looked at the Rod Shop Facebook site. Maybe this will help. Also, Car Craft did a feature on it after it was modified into an A F/X. I can't locate my copy. Maybe it would help.

John, when I saw your thread I remembered I had bookmarked a site that mentions the Sox&Marten Colt (first one).

The car was purchased and transformed into a match racer. Story and Chassis pics here...
