Dan Lavely is trying to uncover the history of his radically modified 1971 Pontiac Firebird. According to the story passed along with the car, it was allegedly used as a prop or backup vehicle in a production of The Green Hornet. The car features a custom body with extensive modifications to the front end, and it was equipped with a 1967 Chevrolet 327 engine and a Turbo 350 transmission. It also had a custom headliner.

Before Dan acquired the car, it was owned by Kenneth Breaux, who had purchased it from a Robert Single in Tyler, Texas. Beyond that, little is known about the car’s origins or its possible movie connection.
