The Car in The Car

[kopper]

A friend of mine and I were trying to figure this one out: What kind of car (year/make/model) was used as the basis for the custom, demon-possessed muscle car in the movie, "The Car"?

From the IMDB's trivia section for The Car.

"There were six Cars built for filming by Barris Kustoms in Lynnwood, California: one main car of steel and five fiberglass replicas. Three replicas were destroyed in the climactic explosion scene and the other two replicas were wrecked in rollovers. The gloss-black main Car is a custom Lincoln Mark III with a locked 4.11 differential (to allow easier spinning), heavy-duty suspension, roll bar, safety harness, and amber-tinted glass. The top is lowered and the beltline raised. Twelve craftsmen built the main Car in six weeks."

Here it is straight from IMDB:

I didn't know what it was myself, because they had modified the body so much.
