Default "Corvette Summer" movie car

Who remembers this B rated movie starring Mark Hamal?

Dan,,,It is apparent to me that there must have been 2 Corvette Summer cars. The original movie car was converted to right hand drive, and resides today in Mid-America Corvettes museum. I just looked at pictures of it on thier website and they still own it. This car is a left-hand drive so I dont know where it fits into the equation.
-----Just looked at the pics again and I think Mike Y at Mid America has the important one of the bunch. Its right-hand drive and has the tunnel-ram big-block in it. This one must have been used for promotional stuff or long distance shots.......Bill S

Mark Hamill should have stuck with being a Jedi Knight.
Me thinks Master Yoda had just a little more work to do in developing Mark's acting skills.

I believe there was 2 red and 1 gold one made. The one in the auction has a rear clip nothing like the original 3. The original 3 had a chevy bowtie worked into the tail light treatment. The car in the Ebay auction is probably a knock-off.
