Basic size, styling cues & a leaf sprung rear suspension would indicate a later 60's or very early 70's US Ford or Chrysler product to me.

Looks to be either a Ford Pinto or Maverick.

Not a Pinto.It looks like it has a trunk and the back is too long.Also,the rear pillar looks too thin.The back resembles that of a 1966 Falcon, but again,the size of the rear pillar throws me off.

hiergehts points out the suspension. I wouldnt know.But his point about the styling cues resembling a Ford seem valid.It looks like it has a trunk that slopes downwards very slightly. Falcons had that, as did the Galaxie/Custom 500 line.Fairlanes,too.But again, the rear pillar is too thin and the shape of the side-rear window doesnt match.Granted, the roof is partially damaged, but still,it doesnt seem to match.

I'd say GM-product, too.

Shape of front hood and -fender makes me think that, too. Has something from the Opel Manta A.

seeing as the film is from 1977 and the car is completely used up,It would have to be REALLY early 70s.The US-Manta started as the 1971 opel 1900 series, but I still think the back on this looks a bit longer.Of course, this damaged and from this kind of angle,dimensions can be deceiving.

Looks like a Nova to me (1968-72 years)

Looks like enough there to identify it as a '71-'72 Ford Maverick.

I'm going to put my vote in for 1970+ Ford Maverick. It looks like it has the crease around the wheelwells and just below the front fender badge: Link to "3.bp.blogspot.com"

Definetely not, the Rekord C had no leaf springs at the back axle, as this car here.
