Default Dirty Harry and the vette

I was watching an old Dirty Harry movie last weekend. The bad guy was running a 63-67 Stingray coupe radio controlled car packed with explosives under Harry C's car.

Does anyone know who made the RC Stingray?

it was specially built by the special affects department with the help of Associated and driven by the then world champion RC racer. I forget if it was Joel Johnson or someone else - been a few years.

Hi RT,
Boy, I hadn't thought of that scene in years, but remember it well now. I didn't remember that it was a Corvette. Thanks!
Regards,
Alan

Saw it last week. Thought the RC Vette was cool.
