Hollywood Trashing Cars
 
We've all seen this stuff but this is a somewhat entertaining compilation of Hollywood destroying some perfectly good cars.

So was the McQ car really a SD? It doesn't have any decals on it. They really trashed that poor thing.

Not an SD455. I believe they used 3 cars in the movie. All were Y code automatics.

My wife hates watching shows where they beat on a car for no reason except to see if they'll blow (tires/engine).

A PY member owns one of the McQ cars. Unrestored and un-fluffed.
It was probably the only that was still worth anything after the filming.
And it has a fair share of bumps and bruises , iirc.

The one that got smashed sat in a Seattle wrecking yard show room for years, rumor has it? Also hear that it is still around and this is from none cars guys?

McQ is still in storage waiting It’s turn.

That car might pull as much - or probably even more - unrestored with the bumps & bruises from the film - than it would restored.
(just my guess, fwiw)

iirc it is still wearing the same license plate as it was in the movie ?
Very Cool Car to have :usa2:

Bumps and bruises from the film are the least of it’s problems. One plate is in the trunk and the other is in the shop.
