Guest bj1785 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Anyone know if the 250 gto that was featured in the begining of this movie was a kit or the real thing. The car was black and there is only one authentic black one in existance that I am aware of, wich leads me to believe that it was a kit. I am curious if anyone knows anything about this car. What manufacturer etc. Regards, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I thought that one was silver in color? Then again, it's been awhile since I've seen that movie. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Kit!. The few shots of Tom while he was driving as viewed from the passenger seat showed the Z door panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRJoe Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Last year I saw that car in person at an Altantic City, NJ show & auction. It was build on a Z and still had the original dash. It looked pretty good and had documentaion from the movie. I might have pictures around here someplace. Never did find out what it sold for. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 250gto Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I spoke to Tom Mcburnie at http://www.thunderranch.com and he said that it was his car that he sold a while back. I have a deep blue one that will knock your socks off! I have a 300 hp, sbc now. I am adding aluminum heads and tripower in about a month. I will email pics to anyone who wants to see it!

CruxGNZ Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Go to your album and upload them there so everyone can see your Z! -click on "Album" up top -click on "Your Personal Gallery" -click on "upload pic" You will upload them from your computer. Simple as that. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katman Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 The Vanilla Sky car is now owned by a guy in the Atlanta area. It is deep blue and it is a Z, with a small block chevy for an engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
