ZXR_KiD Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 probably not really the right thread for this but I figured someone might like to know about it... around 4:30 this afternoon a rather fancy truck with enclosed trailer pulled into the tirestore I work at here in Louisville on the trailer was "Alex's Movie Cars" they where having new tires installed on a celeb car that had been sold.. watching them unload the car from the trailer I see a bright red with oddly patterned orange flames and turbine wheels with sidepipes on a 73 240Z... immediatly I recognized the car but couldnt think of where from, while mounting the tires my co- worker walks up and jokingly asks "why are you working on it... ITS A DATSUN!"... that line made it click... CORVETTE SUMMER! ( the "Hot Rod" in the casino) after we finished the job I talked to the truck driver and the car has been sold to some rock star for the staggering price of $46,000 wasn't able to find anything elese special other than the y-pipe into the sidepipes and the fact that the car has 8500mi on the odo... yea I know long post but I felt I needed to inform the world the car is still out there... if I had my phone on me I'da nabbed some pics... the truck driver said he'd e-mail me some but I'm not holding my breath.

240Zed Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The Corvette Summer 240Z. I heard that the corvette from the movie ended up in Australia. I saw a corvette on ebay AU a while ago that looked exactly like the one from the movie (minus the flames). Aparently some molds were made off the original car.

ZXR_KiD Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 yea I knew they made molds for the body panels as I've seen a black vette and a yellow vette with the same kit at carshows. also if you google image for Corvette Summer you'll find the panels in plain white glass. as for the vette its possible it did make it to AU.. wouldn't surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
