Author Topic: CORVETTE SUMMER movie car location? (Read 10993 times)

csummer · « **on:** June 29, 2007, 02:18:32 AM »

I am hoping to find contact information for the current owner of the car from the 1978 movie Corvette Summer, which is located somewhere in Australia. This car was last featured on the cover of the 1987 Street & Strip magazine, Issue #7.

I am not interested in trying to acquire the car, just document it's current condition with description and photos.

Any help that will link me to the current owner would be greatly appreciate. Please send me a message directly at jdebruin@new.rr.com

This one? ;41

There would have to be at least a few cars made. I recall seeing one car at the Sydney Motor Show as a kid (may still have the guide somewhere) and saw the car above in Chicago less than one month ago.

All that being said, MADLT1 is right, L71 on this forum apparently knows the owner. ;42

I saw that one but didn't link it because the pics weren't there. ;53

Yep as far as i know , that ugly looking car is still in his shed, as previously mentioned i drove it a bunch of times , pretty ordinary , i blew it off few times in an old 68 435hp car that we flogged pretty hard , as far as i know the car has been mechanically rebuilt and runs a treat now , i had some pics but i,m not real good with this computer stuff , and the pics are on the normal photo,s etc , if someone needs they can contact me on 0407012359 or email john.yelash@mipower.com.au
it pretty well looks the same as the one in the above pics , i,ll see if i can use the digital camera and take a pic
