Remember Mark Hamill and Annie Potts cruising in this car?
How talented and brave would you have to be to model this car? Lots of both –

“This master (shown above) is my (Phantomphan’s) work. The car is in about the same shape. My 9-5 has taken a lot out of my hobby time. I will be back in high gear in September. I still plan to do this car.”

Update May 27, 2006:
As far as I know, there is still no resin of this car.

In Response To: Phantomphan – any chance for this one? *PIC* (David Palmeter)
Well, I have wanted to do a Corvette Summer. I have several to do on my want list. I’m going to have to be careful on which ones to pick. Some of the ones I have cast, didn’t sell but one or two copies.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Love this car! When I was a teenager in the 80s I remember that there was a silent auction for this car. Forgot where I heard about it, probably from a car magazine. I mailed for an info packet. Wish I still had that info. I’ll have to rewatch this movie again.
The movie car was right here in Connecticut but was resold to the guy that restores cars in YouTube
Are any available?
