Default "I am Legend" clip

I worked at the dealership that provided this Shelby- it's the only company owned dealership in NYC.. and we also provided the passenger front fender when it got smashed doing a scene that didn't make it into the final movie. If you look closely, you will see the "Manhattan Auto" plastic plate on the rear of the Shelby.

Gotta love that Eaton Supercharger whine..

They shot a scene where he drives it out of the dealership window and hangs a quick left.. first scene was a "little" too fast and wrinkled the passenger front fender.

This is def one of the best scenes in the movie,even though the Cobra and the CG of the zombies was ugly as sin! The supercharger whine and the exhaust note and the angles that car was shot in were perfect! Great movie overall!

Though I had heard of the movie I never knew what it was about until I read up on it today after watching some of those vids.
It is based on an old novel that one of my favorite older movies ('Omega Man' with Charleton Heston) is also based on, in that movie the lead character (named Robert Neville, same as Will Smith in this movie) is the supposed sole survivor after a deadly outbreak of some sort and I distinctly remember him driving a red Mustang in the beginning of the movie.

Saw the movie the other night and I loved it. Will Smith is a great actor. Thats pretty cool about your dealership providing the car for the movie. What are they selling the car for now?

I don't know what happened with that car.. I think the company that did the car stunts kept it- the owner is a Mustang & Camaro lover!
