Well, for what it is worth, you've certainly got the prettier of the two Vettes IMHO considering how altered the Aussie car is (it doesn't even say "Stingray" on the back anymore).
As 1970s over the top as the nose section is with the custom fiberglass, the rear end alterations I always liked the best with the chevy bowtie shape and Stingray script built into the rear lights. That touch just seemed more timeless to me.
As for the movie itself, I still enjoy it. It has a quest, it has coming of age, while the premise seems far fetched it at least looks somewhat believeable and the action didn't seem over the top either. Plus I think it kind of tapped in a bit into that American Graffiti vibe as well (so it influenced Mark Hamill's career a little in that respect). Whenever the film comes on, I still typically like to watch it regardless of what else might be on.
