Description:

1990 Total Recall Movie Car
Movie Car From Total Recall
Design & Built by Mike Fennel for Arnold Schwarzenegger Film
With a budget between 50 and 65 million in 1990,
Total Recall
was one of the most expensive films made at the time of its release - not surprisingly it debuted at number one at the box office. No expense was spared and this included bringing to screen some innovative and futuristic car designs to the film. Acclaimed custom car designer and restorer
Mike Fennel
was brought in to meet their needs, and his name appears as a Production Credit for picture vehicles for the film
Total Recall
.
For Auction Today
Mike Fennel Enterprises was retained to develop several cars for the film with each one bearing the identification tag for his company and the number built. This particular car has this badge affixed to the driver's side area of the cockpit opening showing it to be serial number 001.
This custom built car is based on a modified design of the 3-wheel Trimuter by Robert Riley. Fennel Enterprises purchased Robert Riley's original show car and modified it to become the movie car for
Total Recall
. The front and rear rims, interior and other items exactly match the car for auction. After the film was completed, the show car was kept by Mike Fennel until his passing in 2012 at which time it was sold at public auction. From there it made its way from California to the team at
Undiscovered Classics
and
Forgotten Fiberglass
in Tampa, Florida.
Once restored, this would make a great piece for a museum. It would also be a fun addition for the automobile collector who wants something a bit different to enjoy and share with others. You'll have the only one at every show you attend. This car is being sold as-is in unrestored and non-running condition.
