SpiritOf76

I don't know if there is already a thread for this... I looked but didn't find one.
Post photo stills of C3's spotted in movies... How many can we find? I know there's some obvious ones, (Corvette Summer, Apollo 13, Rush Hour) but also, how about finding the ones just tucked away that most people would miss?
I'll start with a few...

There was that '68 that split in half after landing a jump in Gumball Rally:

one of my favorite movies is Boogie Nights. Dirk Diggler has a red C3 in it, though it's been discussed on here before the inconsistency/different models and changes in the scenes...

I've got the soundtrack and often blast "You've got the touch, you've got the pow-er!" (secret track) when I drive my red vette just for fun!

The junkman (1982) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084184/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Several C3s including a chase which does not end well for the poor C3.

Technically this is not a movie but still a cool display of a C3.

Walking Tall the Final Chapter (1977), the true story of Sheriff Burford Pusser and his death in his newly purchased red 1974 corvette. The crash scene is at the end of the film.


Here is the actual car in the museum in his hometown.

C3 4ME

In the bar scene in Top Gun there's a C3 parked out front when they go inside.

Think of all the poor corvettes destroyed by Hollywood. Rather don't think about it as it is too many.

Crimson Thunder

A silver 74 (i think) wins the race in the movie Cannonball.

Not a movie, but in the Six Million Dollar Man he drove a vette once or twice.

Not a movie, but MGM did rent my '75 convertible to shoot the TV show "In the Heat of the Night" with Carroll O'Connor.

They had done a prior shoot using a '75 roadster in the South and needed to match it with a car in So. Calif. They actually put on a new top and painted the bumperettes from red to black while paying me rent on the car ($150/day).

When they were returning the car, they "dropped" it off the trailer and had to repair the front underside. They paid me $50/day rent while the car was being repaired. I actually caught the episode on VHS at random and still have it somewhere.

Thanks for the first one, just C3's please.

I was reading in Wikipedia(so it MUST be true!) Buford Pusser died while driving a "specially modified" Corvette. Anyone know any details?
