In the movie "THX 1138", Robert Duval's character steals a car at one point.
The
ensuing chase scene was filmed in the Caldecott Tunnel in the SF Bay Area.
Does
anybody know exactly what kind of car it was? Obviously, the car had been
dolled
up to look like a jet powered car from the outside, and the cockpit effects
were
all movie magic, but the car did move, and quite rapidly. It looked like an
IMSA
GT or Le Mans type car, possibly a Matra, or McLaren. Does anybody know for
sure?
