Default VIDEO: Identify the C3....

So I was watching a recent Miami Vice rerun that I recorded on my computer and lo-and-behold there was a C3 in it! So I edited out everything but the C3 scene and posted it here:
http://www.bokonon.net/corvette/MV_c3.zip (13 megs)

Please let me know if you can figure out what kind of C3 it is. The scene is kind of dark and they spend entirely too much time focusing on the Ferrari. :( In some parts it looks like an 80-82, but then at the end it looks like a 68-73. . . .

BTW, its encoded with DivX, so you'll need to download the codec at http://www.divx.com/ if you want to see it. Its a free download of the codec, just make sure you select the far-left choice (not the default selected center choice) or else you'll get a bunch of ad banner crap that isn't easy to disable.

And to make things further complicated, the server wouldn't accept .avi files successfully, so I zipped it. :)

enjoy (if you make it this far!)

I'm gonna go with 73. Definitely has a chrome tail and looks like it has a urethane nose... thus leaving only one year...
Plus, it looked like it had the big round emblem on the nose. 68-72s had crossed flags on their own.

PS Cool vid. Too bad we had to lose that one. :(
