You'll probably be disappointed. Corvette Summer was not an academy award winner.

You will see a very young Mark Hamill and Annie Potts.

While you're searching the net, see if you can find a copy of Billy Jack. The bad guy drives a gold '69.

Okay, it wasn't Oscar-material, but it wasn't that bad.

However, that Vette was perfect for its era -the Disco era. Dear God, that horrible hood scoop. The Candy-Apple Metal Flake color is what I'll paint my '63 when I get it to that stage.

Yes it was. We were all much more impressionable in those days.

Mike Yeager (Mid-America) owns it. I've seen it on display. The righthand drive uses bicycle chains and sprockets.

First time I saw it was on TV in the 80s, and I was fascinated simply because they were in a junkyard and I had never seen a junkyard up to that point, only heard of them. I was probably around 13 at the time.
Watched it again recently and its okay, I tend to like cheesy 70s car movies and take them for what they are.
