Always wished you could have your own wild, tricked-out Corvette like the one from "Corvette Summer?" Well, here’s your chance.
Billed as a promotional vehicle used to promote the 1978 film, the Corvette features a rebuilt engine, four-speed gearbox and 44,000 original miles, per the seller.
Although Mark Hamill is not included in the sale, the car is accompanied by a framed Corvette Summer movie poster, certificate of authenticity, the car’s original license plate–signed by co-star Annie Potts–and more.
Located in Monument, Colorado, this 1977 Chevrolet Corvette is listed at $75,000.

No... no I don't.
Its hard to make that era of 'vette worse than stock but they really went over the top with that.
$75k for a car that Hagerty says is worth between $8k and $25k. This is an awful lot for provenance from a movie most people have never heard.
Couldn't even clock the horn button properly in the steering wheel...
It might be worth that with the steering wheel on the right like in the movie.
As a dumb, young kid I desperately wanted this car. But the sane older person that I've become wonders what the heck I was thinking back then.

why was the steering wheel on the right? Was it because it was a UK car or was it a weird mirrored camera effect?

I am that someone. :)
If I recall correctly, this was the movie Hamill starred in right after the smash hit of Star Wars. That's all I have to offer.
75 large for a promo car for largely forgotten movie? Meh.

Filmed before Star Wars released and came out the year after. Then he had the accident that changed his face. So it's like the only other movie you see baby faced Luke Skywalker.
As a B-movie, it's not terrible. The bad guy's Firebird Formula was pretty cool.
