They destroyed at least one Jensen Interceptor - when I was last at the studio where they were shooting they had one of those cut-in-half car rigs on a dolly with a smashed up Jensen (also the Rock held a door open for me) *e although it may have been a salvaged one, hard to say really. Was dented all down the sides.

I thought maybe they figured a 30 year old Chrysler was better.

Part of me wishes that foreign automakers actually have focus groups for designing cars like that;  "Look! Just like it's cousin the cruise ship sails through the seas this baby sails right through the mid-day traffic!" "yay" "Positive reaction! Send it to production!"Really though if they cleaned up the back end it'd be a neat looking car.

I GIS'ed like a madman and the only thing with similar headlight/housing I found was a 77 Cutlass, which then led me to believe that the car in question was an earlier Cutlass. With those headlights it's definitely not a 70 Chevelle, either!

My first thought was a Ford LTD because it has that horrible 80s light setup but still has the straight lines from the late 70s, but it isn't that either.

I think it is, or an El Camino, anyway, The bumper, grille, and hood edge profile all match. I'd say someone's "custom" fitted square headlights (sadly.)

I think you're right, '70 El Camino. Note the circular hazards recessed into the bumper. Also note the '82 El Camino rectangular headlights.  The Mustang looks incredible though, the frame rebuild looks pretty drat sharp.

The grille and fenders give it away as a 70 Chevelle/El Camino, or at least something with the fenders/header panel from one. Someone converted it to rectangular lights, looking at those lights I'd suspect they're from a ~76 Caprice.

I'll be sure to get some more pictures of that and of the Mustang when I go back next weekend. West SAAB Story posted:The only good G Body is a stock G Body.

My guess is it's an automatic transmission left in drive that didn't move without any throttle but it took off when they high idled it for the crane?

/\/\/\ I think when they lowered the stabilising rams they lifted the wheels enough to cause the tyres and therefore the handbrake to stop gripping the road. Also the massive weight of the crane over the front moved the weight. Either way he a real good job avoiding that.

So I was at a local Merc specialist hunting parts the other day and they had this sitting in the bay. The best part? It was plated street legal and driven there. Seats two uncomfortably.
