Dazed and Confused was filmed entirely here in Austin. In the credits, they thank "Pat Sullivan" for the use of his cars, most of the cars in that movie were his. He's the fellow that owns Bill's old silver LS6 Corvette and a blue '65 fuelie Corvette that Charley used to own.
The stars in the movie just loved the old cars they had around for the shooting. The movie company really hurt his GTO and didn't want to provide any funds for the damages. The GTO that got it's door flung out in the parking lot scene was a stand-in, but the one in the shots with everyone sitting and leaning on it was his. They damaged the hood pretty bad. In the end, he got a mention in the credits for providing six cars for filming and some monetary reimbursement for damages.
About the only car that he still has that was in the movie is the big blue Grand Prix that was in the drive-in restaurant sene.
