Here's another photo (scan) of Wild Colors. Amcar Magazine 1985 (from Norway).

They call it Mako Shark III, because it is the 3rd version of the car.

This MAY or MAY NOT be the same car... if it is, it is probably an earlier version before they came up with the side pipes...

My .02 is that it is a different car, unless someone did major mods to it. Looks like the blue car has the standard type of rear flair, but the wild colors car has the flair into the door. There are tons of similarities (sp?) like the scoop appears to large.
This is the first shot of the car I have seen with the pop up lights, thats what Johnny wants to do to his car. That blue car does have the trick front grille and the side marker lights, but maybe a different tail clip. Guess we will never know for sure, its the first shot of the blue one. Again good job on locating that one!

Yeah, but Frank Johnsen told me that the wild colors rendition is the 3rd makeover the car has had. The level the builder that car appears to be at, I wouldn't put it past him that it is the same car... Maybe Frank will read this & respond.

That maco looks more like the actual concept car(except for the wild colors of course) than any I've seen. I was wondering where those head lights were; too bad its in Norway.

Hello David,
the blue/white car on Bilsport 13 is a Swedish car. The first Mako built in Sweden. Don't have anything to do with wild colours. Bilsport is a Swedish magazine.

Bilsport 22 shows the 2nd version of wild colours.
Bilsport 23 shows the 3rd version.

The car burnt down in 82, I think, and the owner only kept the frame when he built the 3rd version. The 2nd and 3rd version may look similar but the 3rd version have more gadgets. The roof goes up when the door is opened. A rear fender comes out when the car are put in reverse. The jalousie can be closed down. Cornering turning signal. He spent 6700 hours building the 3rd version.

Have you had any luck looking for the film "Project Mako Shark"?

Frank


David

Frank


He probably means the rear bumper comes out, dont you think?
Anyway you look at them, the wild colors car is the most advanced shark kit there is, its just all those colors that I cant understand. You lose so much body detail in the graphics, but yet again, wicked cool.

He is from Norway... English is not the first language Yes, that is what I assumed as well.

I wonder about the paint scheme as well... that really detracts from the whole thing... maybe it is so that GM leaves him alone about the car?
