Heck, even with radial tires on a 64 GTO, and all the other flaws, the movie is probably 99% more accurate than any Oliver Stone movie.
Hollywood types almost always get stuff like this wrong. While they mean well, their attention to detail sometimes has to take a back seat to what is available on the day of the shoot, so movies that are period pieces are always loaded with little errors like these.
There was a scene in the period movie "Dazed And Confused", which was supposed to take place in 1976, where in the background there's a red 73 Trans Am wearing 1982-up Z/28 rims.
