Too far away to see if Commodore or Super per taillamps or hood ornament but again, the 2nd thumbnail shows the woodtone door panels which the Commodore had. -- Last edit: 2012-09-07 13:30:35

For the purposes of the movie they installed a 350 Chev/THM 350 trans & also installed a Vintage Air A/C system tucked up under the dash. The car is in generally good condition, dent-free but with a few rough edges & some corrosion in the rockers. It has an amateur-quality wiring job that needs total sorting out. I'd categorize it exactly as depicted in the movie, a solid driver-quality car. My intentions are to smooth out the rough edges, keep corrosion at bay & enjoy it as much as possible. The A/C already goes a LONG way towards making the car usable in Florida!
