Hard to tell if that is it again at the 35sec mark next to the police car. Just a jumbled up mash of red car.

"But those tough days paid off as he crushed a 1968 Ford Mustang, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle and 1979 Porsche 928. According to the producers the Mustang was a rotted-out coupe, the Chevelle was a used-up four-door and, well, there isn't enough money in the world to keep a 928 on the road."

At the 51 and 53 sec. mark, you can see the rear seats tops and the dash pod, the interrior is not backwards, not the Mythbuster car. The backwards car was red.

Hahahaha Quick Google search shows that it was recently shown in Dundas, Minnisota at CarTime Auto Center....


Apparently it is headed to Chicago this month to begin a traveling exhibit of Mythbusters artifacts. The Clutchmen Car Club fixed up the poor 928 to look more presentable (if that's even possible)...
