There were two Ford Mustangs used in the movie, one which was used in the majority of the heroic jump shots and ultimately ended up crashing into a ravine, and another which wasn't wrecked during filming. The crashed car turned up in a junk yard in Mexico but is literally a pile of rust. The other one was repaired after filming and sold, passing through two owners before it was purchased by a Robert Kiernan in 1974 for $6000. Mustangs were cheap and plentiful back then so it was used as a daily driver until it was parked up with mechanical issues in 1980. Robert and son Sean began putting it back together in early 2000s, before life took over and the restoration stalled. Robert passed away in 2014 and left the car to Sean. He contacted Ford around that time and the mystery of the original movie car was solved.
