HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a CLASSIC flick yer talkin about!!
If you had seen the movie when it first came out, you would have a different opinion. I've seen it several times, but now, it just makes me shiver!(as in, puke ) The actual car is alive and well, in Mike Yager's "Garage".

What's not to love about a face like this!............

Now to finish your Masters, you will need to watch Death Race 2000. It has Sly Stallone in another modified vette. 

I bought my copy off of Ebay.

I do need to get my masters so I'll be on the look out for Death Race 2000.Sounds like I need to see it!! Adam,It is good that the car is alive and well because it does need to be preserved no matter what it looks like.However the plot could have been better.It didn't feature the car as much as I thought it would.zgator38641.7986805556

Mike also owns the "Death Race 2000" car!!
David Carradine & Sly Stallone in this one.

First time I have seen the Death Race 2000 car not in the movie. Pretty funny stuff there. I am guessing the picture is from Mikes collection at MidAmerica?

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

The one from death race is not quite as ugly as the one in Corvette Summer, or do I have that backwards?

Corvette Summer was a dreadfull movie, and I saw it when it came out. The plot line was unreal and stupid.  The car was ugly.  Other than that, I thought the movie was fine.   I never saw Death Race 2000.

Well.....I NEVER!
As a 17 year old "hippy-dog", with a '72 'Vette convertible, I was in love with it!! (Yes, the medication has helped, thank you! )
Plot line? It had a PLOT?!
The best line......."I built my first transmission when I was 10(or whatever age it was), my first carb at 11,........... and I wait 'till NOW to get laid?!"

(something I could relate to! )
