I'm figuring you're talking about that car in the background? That's another Olds Toronado like the car in the foreground. A Corvette would be completely melted and only identifiable by the frame and suspension... maybe that car near the beginning of the video...

Took another look at the "car" in the beginning of the video: that's not a Corvette and I'm thinking it may not be a car at all. Maybe a golf cart?

Looking at the roof line, looks like another Toronado.

C3s melt, not char.

If that's not a C3, then the real loss is the Subaru SVX at 1:25

That's an Olds Toronado, same as the car in front of it. Hard to see with this level of resolution, but there is a fender projection on the far side of the headlight. The headlight slope angle is wrong for a C3 too.
