Corvette Summer
Anybody here remember the 1978 movie "Corvette Summer "starring Mark Hamil and Annie Potts.
Its about a teenager who dreams of driving a Corvette. He ends up being a mechanic and for a school project he builts his dream car, A StingRay.
It is so awesome it gets stolen. Hamil spends the summer looking for his car and meets up with Annie Potts before he finally recovers his ride.
Goofy movie but I understand his passion. :auto:

That Vette looked best after it was stolen and the crooks painted it black. The flick is kinda cheesy, but entertaining when I saw it as a kid. :eek: Oops...I guess my age is showin'.. :jester

I remember when I was a kid and that was on TV. Me and a friend would stay at one another's house and watch it.
A really bad movie, but fun to watch.

I also saw the car at a shop called the Phoenix corvette center under a tarp back in 1998. The owners name was dave, and he showed me pictures while building it.
