It's on Turner Classic Movies channel, 256 if you have Direct Tv…….

either shake your head in disgust or re live the memories, or just shake your head at it...

I saw it at a drive in theater in the back seat of my parents' Buick station wagon soon after it came out.

Haha when I was a kid I thought that was the coolest Corvette ever. Brings back memories for sure.

The Phantom

Ok geeking out here but when Kenny finds the emblem that fell to the ground from the 73 .... I'm sure it should have said Stingray not Corvette LOL, ok your right shaking my head! Its another Forest Gump movie, you just can't help but watch it when its on!! and yes, yes I did.

I bought that movie when I was a teenager... But that was because I was into firebirds not corvettes and loved the chase scene...

THESE PIPES ARE CLEEEEEEAN ! Lol

And just to mention: The emblem was from a C2

I've seen the car. If you get the chance to peek inside, take a look at how they wigged up the RH drive. I won't spoil it for you.

Last I remember, the car is up in the collection at MidAmerica Motorworks in Effingham, Illinois. Mike Yager's collection. Is that where you saw it?

Easy Mike

I saw it at Bloomington a few years back. I believe that was before Yeager bought it.

AirborneSilva

Missed it, still haven't seen that movie...

BLUDICE

My wife had never seen the movie - and really digs our Vette - but just kept saying "wow that is one ugly vette" over and over again!
BTW that firebird is a very rare one!! Too bad they killed it!

My son loves the movie (he has the dvd). Back in the early 90's, I remember seeing the car at a small corvette museum located near the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown, NY. I would love to take my son to see the car now ... is it still @ Mike Yaeger's place ?

Easy Mike

Supposed to be. Email them and ask whether it is on display.

FireballXL5

When he flip/rolled the firebird... The car leading up to the jump had sidepipes... The car that flipped had dual exhaust under the car... Lol

I had a 1980 firebird, and a 71 formula donor car that I got the motor/trans from... Sadly, got rid of both cars a few years ago... But hey... Wound up with my vette! Can't complain!

My copy of corvette summer is on VHS.. Lol

Jbster

I remember seeing that movie as a kid and I loved it.
