Seen it, touched it, got a fragment of it somewhere !
Met Travis then, he organised a big thing in Covington where they filmed it. This was like 2003...
Took this pic of the interior - These days they'd call it 'survivor'... hahaha

Yeah - I noticed that. In my defense it was a fragment of rust from the floor but I did feel bad.
To try and ease my guilt here is another one for you. This is the boot and the sophisticated method they used for level flight on that first jump. Trunk full of concrete...

They should have left that as the 71 car rather than 'restore' it.

Interesting watch. I agree with most, should have stayed as found, in a museum next to an accurate replica and with the Police cars. That would be a great static historical display for us oldies who remember the Earth standing still at 530pm on a Saturday afternoon 40 years ago. Ah, the days before you could tape the telly
