There are 3 sites I know that have the real trailer for Aloha, Bobby and Rose on. They are Shout Factory, Youtube, and Facebook. The Youtube one has a ad for the channel at the end. The one on Shout Factory is the original trailer with no ads on it. The one on Facebook is also the original trailer, and can be downloaded onto your computer. I just wanted to share these incase anyone has never seen the trailer for this movie. www.facebook.com/ABNR1975/videos/306849373133310/

here is something I found
In about 1980 the car was at Ed's Airport Service on Ocean Park in Santa Monica. The shop owners son had purchased the car from that lot, drove it a little and then began a show quality restoration. My friend bought a green 69 Z/28 from him and took me to see the car.
It had BBS wheels, the original 302 with 4 down draft Webers built again by Traco, Doug Nash 5 speed and some aircraft wiring that was covered in what looked like braided line. I remember him reinforcing the cowl hood because the flow from the Webers caused a dent in the hood.
He showed the car with the original slot mags from the movie, but left the Webers on. He showed the car locally and I saw it at the Convention Center, his display had the movie running during the show.
Saw him drive it on the street a few times, I think he lived in nearby Mar Vista. Eds shop is still there.

Dumb question that rolled into my mind.... Can you take a 68 camaro model cut off the front, do the same with a 67 camaro. Then fuse the 68's front onto the 67's body? Would the fused car fit onto the frame? Is the 67 and 68 fenders the same in model form? I have never cut up a model and just wondered in theory. I mean it would be frankensteining two cars together. I was told on a forum that the 67, 68, and 69 camaros were pretty much the same body, with a few details added to them. Ok, brain fart done for the time being.

It's OK, Ghost. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask or the question you are afraid to ask. Yes, you can do what you asked. The 67 is unique unto the first generation Camaros. It is the only year with the opening wing window in front of the door window glass. I'm not sure why that vent window was no longer used in most cars after about 67 or 68. Might have been some weird government thing. If you are upside down, your nose will run and your feet will smell.

The answer is yes it can be done the only problem is if one is just a hair off on scale { and that happens a lot with models } then you will have a looks issue other than that it would be very easy to do. you can measure a lot and it still may look out of scale. you just don't know tell you do it the best way is start cutting and go for it.

If I try this I need 2 junkyard cars for the experiment. I don't want to buy 2 new kits to destroy. So looking into junkyard camaro kits for this fun one.

Love the sound of this car. Even better when it drowns out the mic in the movie.

I did upload a old 1975 interview clipping with Paul Le Mat on there. I had to do something with the old clipping, since it's been gathering dust in the book. Hollywood Exposed 1975 interview with Paul Le Mat Part 1Part 2 |
