Here's a re-post of this video clip (on SAAC forum 2.0) of Carroll shifting through the gears around the back lot of LAX.

This photo was posted on the old forum thread too. (Maybe not with the above video clip). I think it was Kieth "SFM66H" who took this photo when he saw the film clip on TV. We can see it's a GT350 by the side stripe and also a company car by the square sticker in the lower windshield corners.
Maybe #1075

Great video!  Interesting to see the background selection of cars in various states of completion.  Thank you.

Hey Rich - notice how that portion of the video clip was actually aired in mirror-image, and after I captured it I had to reverse the screen shot (note the "Discovery" logo and the words above it) so we could see whether that Brittany Blue, outboard, 10-spoke beauty was a big block or a small block? I really thought it would turn out to be a (late) GT500 because of those features, but it wasn't!

Ahh, fun times on the old Forum 1.0!

I remember flopping the image and doing a color correction in Photoshop when I zoomed-in and saw the GT350 was backwards.

Must be a ton of archive film footage, artwork and photographs in Ford's files.

I know they have made some of the photos available over at Fordimages, but it sure would be nice if Ford would compile nice prints of the films and make them available on DVD.
