I'd heard there was one a while back, but don't recall who did it.

 

What year was the Corvette they used ?

This article from Corvette Magazine says it was a '73.

I was reading a review of that movie in another Corvette magazine ... it just came out on DVD ... and their description of the car was very unflattering, especially the hood scoop.  But it is one of a kind, that's for sure!

Everyone always tells me how crappy that movie is, lol. But I saw it on TV one night, and I liked it. I guess car lovers like us are a different breed. lol.

LOL... I have to agree 

I remember years ago watching some other car movies that everyone told me stunk (can't remember the names now Blush [:I] ) but I liked.

Ron Howard in an orange Camaro racing on a dirt track I think.
A 60's Vette (in rough looking shape) racing on a mountain road in California, something about "King of the Mountain" or something, a garage called RPM.

I better stop... sorry for the memory lane ramblings... Sad [:(]

You're probably not going to find the Corvette Summer Vette model.
Me is thinking... custom work, just like the real thing.   Tongue [:P]

I just picked up a 'Vette from our LHS. 

Pics of progress coming soon.

 

Hmm... A resin conversion in the works?
