Other parts like the back hood, the front bumper and the back lamps can be changed, but here are all from a 1200. The back bumper is pre-67 -- Last edit: 2007-10-24 19:59:04

G-MANN ◊ 2007-10-24 20:47	Was this car used by Tara Fitzgerald's character?
Weasel1984 ◊ 2007-10-24 20:58	Yes that's her (Gloria) car, but it isn't visible in any scene that she use it, the car is just parked (visible 3/4 times during the movie). -- Last edit: 2007-10-24 20:59:19
