Because of its historical status as a starring picture vehicle, I decided not to restore it. Hence, the condition
that it’s in is almost exactly as it was in the movie. Obviously I had to have some mechanical work done, but
just enough to keep it running smoothly and safe (list of repairs and modifications below).
While no expert in vintage cars, I’ve heard you could call this vehicle a “driver” or a “fifteen to
twenty-footer”. Mechanically it runs very well, just needing the occasional tune-up. Electrically, all the
important lights work (headlights, turn signals, brakes, etc). From a pretty close distance (as you can see by the
un-retouched photos and soon to be posted video) the car is a head-turner, stopping people in their tracks. Upon a
close critical inspection, you can see where there are some small dings, some paint chipped off here and there, and
some work that was done by the studio (a little modification above the trunk lock, some kind of welding done on the
front bumper).
Upon close inspection, you can also see that the carpets are soiled in places and that the vinyl upholstery
doesn’t match. Things like that (again, I wanted to preserve the “stock” nature of this star car).
