I wish I could help you. The car is in fact the most intriguing thing about this film.
I saw it for sale in an Auto Buyer magazine in the late 80's for about 10 grand. I had never heard of the film at that time, but it made me want to know more. I haven't heard anything about it since then. -

About 12 years ago, i saw the car up for sale in an Auto Trader publication. Asking price then was 13,000 dollars. It is a fiberglass body mounted on some cars frame but im not sure which. I am as of now looking for the car to try and buy it. If I locate it I will let you know. If you or anyone you know has the location, please let me know as well.

It's a cool car. Sort of reminds me of a Bertone Stratos.
You might be able to find something from Road & Track. They featured the car sometime in 1977.
I found that and a few pics at: http://www.javelinamx.com/carstars/tvcar2.htm -

Somewhere, packed away in my many boxes, I have a coffee table book that has a car that looks a lot like this one. If I remember right, it was a concept car built by Mercedes. In the book the car is white and the rear-view mirror is mounted on the outside of the car in front of the sun roof. I think it was called a "Bulldog" or something to that effect.
Unfortunately, I can't back any of it up because I don't have the book, the title, or the author. -

When I first saw it I thought it was a solar car that was just modded for the movie. It looks very much like some student solar car projects I've seen. I also love the "futuristic" effects like a rear camera. Now every car offers so many gadgets. All I ever think about in modern cars is what will break first?
The other "car things" that I loved about this film were the added car sound effects. The Daytona sure sounded like a V8 and was a LOT louder than I ever remember those cars. As my second car ever my folks almost bought me one of those. Good thing I got them over to the Ford lot instead or maybe not since I got into trouble with my 5L Mustang. I am glad modern movies are a little more subtle with the engine and tire squealing noises added to every scene. They still do it, but in the 70s/80s it was SOOO obvious that it detracts from the movies. -

I am fairly sure the Black Moon is the same car Auto Man drove in that 1983 series. But i could be wrong after all the last time i saw Auto Man was.well 1983.
But if i am right, that may help you find more info on the car. -

Automan didn't drive this car, He drove a modified Lamborghni Countach. A few magazines mistook it for the Aston Martin Bulldog though.
