Default The "Better Off Dead" Camaro.

For those of you that don't know of the movie "Better Off Dead", here's an IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088794/

I think it's one of the best movies to come out of the 80's, and is also one of my favorite movies in general. Anyways, there's a site called "betteroffdeadcamaro.com", http://betteroffdeadcamaro.com/ created by a man who likes the movie a whole hell of a lot more than I did, which chronicles the account of his tracking down the actual Camaro used for filming, and the restoration of it.

It's actually pretty interesting. Now, I'm gonna waste some more company time, and see if I can find something similar for a Mustang.

No, the one that was used in the movie was found in a barn rusted out.

I heard that there were two mustangs used in Bullitt and both disappeared after filming.
