i know... hence the only words i posted along with the pics.. "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."
The car is so amazing, only difference i spotted was the movie car has mirrors, while this car does not. Also this car won 1st place at Pebble Beach.

If I am not mistaken, the car used in the movie was not authentic. It was a kit car that was pretty common in the 80s. They dubbed the director's 308 exhaust over the top to make it sound like a Ferrari.

I believe that was given away by the fact they trashed it......as great as that movie is, the first time I saw it I almost cried at that part

your right... "A little-known fact is that the stunt stand-in was a replica called the Modena. The company that manufactured this vehicle changed hands a few times, only to suffer an untimely demise due to poor management " Ferrari Spyder Replica Kit - Featured Vehicles - Kit Car Magazine
