It looked better when it was painted all gold if you remember that.

Perhaps the ugliest Corvette that exist today!

That car was a death trap. In order to convert it to right hand drive, they used a motorcycle chain and sprocket to connect the steering wheel shaft to the gearbox. I recall seeing pictures of the build and there was lots of slack in the chain.

That movie was very inspirational to me in my love of Corvettes and customizing. I admit that car looks very gaudy and over the top in this day and age, but as far as the story in the movie goes, it was awesome!
Just think about it, a high school student resurrects this totaled, falling apart car from the scrap heap to build HIS dream car. Yes, it was with his autoshop classmates, but he was the driving force in it's creation. Then he goes on an all out adventure meeting all kinds of characters for the love of his car. I think I was only 7 or 8 when I first saw it, but I remember thinking, "When I'm old enough, I want to build a car and love it as much as this kid did."
Admittedly, I have the DVD and still watch the movie every few years. LOL!
