celebrity role in the 2009 "Star Trek" film Chevrolet 350 CID V-8
Four-speed manual transmission Four-wheel disc brakes Maroon
exterior with a white vinyl top and black interior� If you're
seeking a celebrity car with some Hollywood history, consider this
car from MotoeXotica Classic Cars, a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible that was featured in the 2009 Star Trek Movie! This
Corvette had a role in J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek feature
films in 2009, the series starring Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. In
a scene near the start of the film, a 10-year-old Kirk careens
through his hometown, Riverside, Iowa, behind the wheel of a
mid-1960s Corvette Convertible. His actions attract the attention
of a policeman who tries to stop him. Before he can apprehend the
boy, Kirk bails out of the car as it drops 600 feet into a quarry.
In a deleted scene, it is shown that the car belonged to Kirk's
father, George, who dies on a mission during the film's opening
scenes. After his death, George's brother in-law treats the car as
his own. Young James discovered the keys while washing it and
decided to carjack it in an act of defiance toward his uncle. The
car's maroon paint is in fair condition with several blemishes - a
chip on the right door, crazing at the nose, blemished paint on the
right rear fender, chipping at front edge of hood and at the rear
edge of the hidden headlights, etc. The car rolls on 205/70R15
tires and there are factory wheel covers with spinner caps. The car
has tow bars in front to make it a snap to put it behind a camera
truck during the action scenes. The body panels are straight, the
battery is in good order and the engine bay is fairly tidy. The
white convertible top sports a few minor blemishes. Inside, the
car's black bucket seats are in very good condition, the matching
carpet is in good order. The dash is in fair shape, with some
cracking evident both on top and on some of the trim pieces. The
three-spoke steering wheel is in fair condition while the door
skins are missing some trim pieces. The mirrors are in good
condition, the center console needs some attention and the shift
lever is in good condition. The car has no radio. Like all
Corvettes assembled between 1954 and 1981, this car was made at
GM's St. Louis factory. Under the hood is a 350 CID Chevrolet V-8
buttoned to a four-speed manual transmission. For its third season,
the 1965 Corvette Sting Ray further cleaned up style-wise. Styling
alterations that year were subtle, confined to a smoothed-out hood
now devoid of scoop indentations, a trio of working vertical
exhaust vents in the front fenders that replaced the previous
nonfunctional horizontal "speedlines," restyled wheel covers and
rocker-panel moldings, and minor interior trim revisions. One of
the Corvette's biggest features in 1965 came as four-wheel�disc
brakes�were introduced. The brakes had a four-piston design with
two-piece calipers and cooling fins for the rotors. Per pending
federal regulations, there was also a dual master cylinder with
separate fluid reservoirs (only on models with power brakes for
1965) for the front and rear lines. Road testers rightly applauded
the all-disc brakes. Testers found that repeated stops from 100�mph
produced no deterioration in braking efficiency and even the most
sudden stops were rock-stable. So if you hanker to own a piece of
recent Hollywood history, this is the car for you! Not many people
can claim they own a classic Corvette that James T. Kirk once
drove. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis,
Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 176 miles. It is
sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear not actual mileage
Arizona title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Competition to this car in 1965
included Apollo 5000 GT convertible, Aston Martin's DB5 Volant�,
Ferrari's 275 GTS and Jaguar's 4.2 XKE Roadster. VIN: 194675S109955
