No reason to think this is a 1973 from the picture. Custom mods but front end appears 1980 or later?

I agree. It's got to be an '80 or '81 before the body change. Needs to be bumped up to at least 4 if not 5 stars cause it's used by the villian throughout the whole movie.

The car is 78 and up. 1973 had the small back glass, not the big one shown here.

I agree that the year of this one should be labeled as 1980, based on the two-piece turn indicators.

Ever notice that the spedometer is never shown much higher than 55? :D

I watched this movie recently. When they showed an interior shot, it had the 'tunneled' instrument pannel that was used on '77 and earlier models.

From looking at the car, I'm not even certain it has the '78-up large rear glass. It looks like it might be a small glass car that's been simulated into a fastback to make it appear newer.

The interior shots always show a 77 and earlier style interior, and a vertical "tunnel" style rear window strangely covered in 78-82 style slats. Sometimes it has a 69-75 style steering wheel, sometimes it has a 76.

It has a custom front clip that was popular in the 80s, but this one looks wider than it's supposed to be and doesn't fit with the doors. It has an 84-89 style rear end and a broken spoiler. The look would have been pretty cool if they had pulled it off right.

It's commonly mentioned in trivia that the speedometer never goes above 55, but look again, that's the tachometer redlining at 5,300 RPM.

Shows they are louvers and not the glass of the 78-82 models.

Somebody noticed that there's repair in the back although it was shot in the front?
