Yeah.. I just got done watching this stupid movie.. In my opinion the car is NOT a Motion built car. The only mod on the car that resembles anything Motion did is the Shelby scoops on the side pillars. And I think I remember someone saying somewhere that Motion only ever did that to One (1) Corvette at the owners request.. The Gold/Black 69 Phase III GT.. But I could be wrong. Anyway the movie is horrible. I started out trying to watch it and ended up watching it in fast forward only pausing to look at the car scenes in frame by frame mode... It's not a Motion car.. Most likely just a movie car built in CA like the rest of them. My guess it's an older Vette with a '73 nose added along with all the other body mods.. It does have flared out wheel wells (not like Motion Vettes), The tail panel job looks nothing like Motion work (look at the pics)... It does have a fastback window job, but it's nothing like the Motion GT rear window. My memory was wrong about the interior, It just has the standard black cloth stock interior (other than the fold down door panel full of guns and crap).. This car has a couple other movie props on it too like the hydraulic ram operated T-top that raised when the driver door opens and flame throwing tail pipes (under the license plate). Another glaring fact that shows this not to be a Motion car.. I don't think Joel was in the business of building Movie Prop cars.. Motion was in Long Island, NY.. This hidious movie was filmed in CA.. and it had to have been filmed in 1972. This movie was released in July 1973. Thats why I think it's an older Vette with a '73 nose added.. This just seems like an aweful lot of work to do to a brand new 1973 Vette, have time to film the movie and have it all done in time for a July release.. Anyway, here are two shots from the tv screen.. Judge for yourself.. and remember, not every car that has a stripe up the middle of the roof is a Baldwin/Motion car.......
Also, I did a quick search and came up with this link on Corvettes in movies..
