I can't imagine they would have wanted to destroy more than one, if the main characters car was in fact a real GTX. Although this is hollywood were talking about here and you know those dumbasses don't care about beautiful classic cars. so it either doesn't dawn on them that they're destroying history. . . .or they're too stupid so care. but that's still no excuse to wreck a beautiful Newport either.
