The Corvette from the movie “Corvette Summer” was restored after being modified for the film. It still exists and has been sold at auction multiple times.
In the 1978 movie “Corvette Summer,” starring Mark Hamill and Annie Potts, the iconic car—a 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray—underwent significant modifications to fit its role in the film. The car was customized with a right-hand drive, a flamboyant red metal-flake paint job, and an exaggerated hood scoop, among other unique features.
After the movie’s production, the car was restored to a more conventional appearance, though it retained some of its movie flair. Over the years, the Corvette has become a collector’s item and has changed hands through various auctions. It has been well-maintained and occasionally appears at car shows and film-related events, where it continues to attract attention and evoke nostalgia for fans of the film. The car’s whereabouts are generally known among classic car enthusiasts and movie memorabilia collectors, and it remains a piece of Hollywood automotive history.
