Where is that Corvette now???


Does anyone know where this car is now?? I loved this movie as a kid, would love to see a remake with the original car...

reply

It is owned by Mike Yager of Effingham, Illinois and on display at his Mid-America Motorworks garage/museum:

Thanks man, that was great to read. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

It's good to see the car is being cared for in the appropriate fashion.

I heard a rumor the Corvette at Mid-America is an exact replica of the one used in the movie and that a private collector in Van Nuys owns the original movie Corvette. Not 100% sure but I'd do my research before I would trek out to that museum.

no thats the original it was in a museum in cali for a while and went up for sale at an auction and mamw bought it for a huge figure.

It's in a custom car shop show room in North Hollywood. Intersection of Magnolia and Lankershim. I saw it there two weeks ago. They have some other movie cars there as well.

That is so cool the car is still intact and being showed. I wish the web site would have made those pictures NOT so big. HHHah!

reply

I was hoping to read it had been destroyed in the name of good taste.

It was featured on a recent episode of "Fast N Loud".

End of line

The one on Fast N Loud wasn't the movie car. They claim it was a promo car, but several people on here suspect it's a fake. For starters, it was left hand drive and didn't have the weird Chevy bowtie taillights. It looked more like a tribute car built by a fan of the movie.
