for several years now Ive been saying that's my Powerball car. Even when it wasn't listed as for sale. I planned on calling the owner and dropping a big dollar on him.

build a clone

Since one was built on a Ranchero, are there molds available?

Molds were created in the 80's to build a replacement front end for the RK Motors car.     They were recently acquired by a fellow in Ohio who is planning on a small run of parts based on demand.

There was a clone KC up for grabs last year that appears to have a factory front clip, less the front bumper.   It has been speculated that it could possibly be the original for the RK car.    The originals show evidence of the factory seams on the back side and are very well finished.   The reproduction panels are much rougher on the back side.

It would be neat to see some "clones" running around as it is an interesting looking vehicle.

Just don't go to fast. They were wicked loose at the race speed required to get near the wing car speeds.    A large spoiler, bigger than than the 3" max height at the time, was needed.   Then, you'd incur more drag, slowing them down.   A wing was the answer, but there was no way FoMoCo would do that. 

Bottom line: it was not an aero balanced package as you see it.
