What was the helicopter used in the tv show Airwolf?

Is a car worth more because it was used on TV?

• I'm thinking of buying my friend's car. Its a 1986 Ford Tempo GLS with 250,000 miles. He says he recently changed the air filter and had the muffler serviced. Blue book says the car is worth $300 to a private seller but my friend claims that the car is a collector's item because it appeared on several episodes of the 1980's show Airwolf. He even is throwing in a framed picture of the car racing at 100+ mph while Airwolf was flying overhead (If I do buy the car I want to find Jan Michael Vincet to autograph). He says that $15,000 is a fair price given the cars history and the fact that Ford Tempo's have a cult following and are really hard to find. This will be my first car and I'm not very experienced with mechanics. I want to buy something original but don't want a lemon. Is this a good deal? Assuming I do buy the car what are some common maintenance areas I should be aware of. I wouldn't want to change anything original but want to keep it running for another 250,000 miles. Thanks!

• Answer:

  Tell him you better get the helicopter for that price. One key note: Used cars aren't lemons. By definition, lemon car only applies to new vehicles. Otherwise, at that price, he's no friend of yours. Simply ridiculous. Cult following? In what world? It's a Tempo. No one cares. Try Googling "tempo airwolf". I've been searching for a while now, don't even see mention of the car.
