There's a story that goes with that Gold 70 GTO in Slap Shot , at last recall it was still unrestored and in about exact same condition as from the movie .
Newman hit something and damaged a fender on the car.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
It wasn't a studio car , was a private owned loaner/rental , so that wasn't good.
But , it has helped make the car authentic.
The damaged fender was left that way for authenticity and the same damage can be seen in the movie to verify the car.
Sorta neat
That's the story as told, I didn't review the movie to cross examine.
No one objected , all seemed to agree with it.
