<< To all:
 
 Some years ago we were asked to supply one of our car or cars (of
 course, the nicest ones) for use in movie scenes. When we found out what
 they intended to do to the cars (pretty much trash 'em)  by "altering"
 them, mounting cameras, racing around, or bashing 'em, etc. it didn't
 sound so appealing, so we didn't. So much for fame! If anybody asks to
 make your car famous in the movies, I suggest find out their plans for
 it first!

Yea,
They did that to Les Lindleys 427 Cobra in Gumball Ralley.
Bent the nose, bondo'ed it & sprayed it so it looked good at speed.
