That looked like Bill Hickman (drove the Charger in “Bullitt”, and similar driving in “French Connection” and “The Seven-Ups”) driving the E-Type in that sequence of Vanishing Point... And looking at IMDB, sure enough—he’s un-credited as a stuntman there.

Now we can’t have Corvettes at the next Ships and Vodka.

Three-door NG 900s/9-3s are getting to be really hard to find any more, in any shape. I nearly pulled the trigger on a new 5-door Talledega, back in the day, but instead ended up with a 9000 Aero.
