Today I watched a movie with my son.
This movie was called "The bad guys"
Can anyone name the car that "the bad guys" were driving?
What a piece of machinery!
look at the tail lights.
that is the clue!

[PerkyHydrAan]

fact: muscle car.
don't know if that helps...
also, maybe... dodge? maybe ford?

[trevor369]

so close...
but yet so far

give a chance for others to respond

and yes!
This particular car?
Definitely! Definitely had a lot of muscle!

it is all about the tail lights.
They were one of a kind.
Completely, "unique"!

The car in your picture is an Opel Manta A, 1970-1975.



But the basis for the car in the Bad Guys movie, while resembling a Chevvy Camaro in many aspects, is the subject of ongoing debate online. For example this:

"... much of this car is based on a Nissan Silvia S14 rocket bunny / boss kit, combined with the earlier chrome work (front and rear) of the Nissan Silvia S10.. that’s the case here all day long, every day of the week. The artist clearly prefers the early Nissan GT-R tail lights from the 1973 KPGC110 (as do many). The alloys, for example, are taken straight from a Nissan S20, the grandpappy of todays GTR. There are without doubt a lot of Camaro/AMC influences in the lines (‘73 AMC javelin door handles and side exhaust, Camero B pillar etc…) but Ive also spotted that some of the other cars (in the movie) are also Nissan derivatives (Vans, limos etc). Would be amazing to blend US and JDM muscle cars to make this beauty, we can only dream…"

Now THAT is informative!
@chrisjo!
I also see the Javelin and Camaro influences.

Very awesome! indeed!
The crazy thing is?
All of this information? And/or speculation?
Comes down to one man: Adam Opel!
