I was reading about this movie the other day (which I saw once a long time ago) and this made me laugh -
The Corvette car was a 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray converted to right hand drive so that Mark Hamill could hang out of the curbside window looking at the ladies .
Also -
There were two Corvettes made for the film (both 1973 model years): a “main” car and a “backup” model, both built for MGM by Korky’s Kustom Studios. The main car was often displayed during the film’s publicity tour, and both cars were later sold by MGM to private parties. The main car was sold to an Australian collector and altered to look different from how it appears in the film.
Since they drive on the other side of the road there, the right hand drive fits right in…
