    Once upon a time in Hollywood

    Just saw this movie. Alot of cool car cameos.A couple of our favorite pcar in their too as well as Steve Mc "Cool"
    Sharon Tate was driving around in a black longhood with sport seats. So the events were taking place in early 1969. The car appeared to be a 72,73. I think Terrentino missed this detail.
    Can anyone else confirm this deet.

    I did notice an S spoiler on the black 911. Maybe Q found a 69 prototype car.

    The Black Porsches were 73 model cars wrapped black. The tangerine Targa was a 1970 model.

    Sharon Tate's car def presented as a 73 911S sunroof coupe
    "S" spoiler, black grill, "2.4" badge, etc
    Pretty big miss for a film set in '69
    Good movie, and a lot of vintage VW's as well (Brad Pitt's Ghia convertible, tons of Beetles & Bus', etc)

    The movie was not about Porsche’s. It was about a era
    In Hollywood. As far as year of which Porsche
    Is irrelevant .

    Actually it is relevant, as Tarantino did a LOT to make the era "Right"
    Many who live/lived there have noted how many things he got correct, and how it truly captured that time
    To miss details on a car, prominently featured, by 4 years is a biggie
    Also interesting to note that "Porsche" was consulted on for the film, thought they would have got that part right....
    And since this is an early 911 board, well, it is pertinent

    As far as the movie, I enjoyed (as I do all Tarantino films). A tad slow in spots but nonetheless enjoyable. Nice to see an actual "new" movie vs. another re-do of a comic book action sequel....

    “The lady doth protest too much methinks.”

    Curt, given the endless resources in So Cal to get that detail right, just curious why you would defend them on this?

    Sounds like a technical “expert” cut corners to line their own pockets.

    Perhaps finding a 69 that an owner wanted to place at risk was not possible. I have heard of several reports of classic cars being treated simply as props by the crew. I certainly wouldn't put one of my classic cars at risk for the paltry sum they offer.
    1969 911S
    1969 Datsun 2000...worth less, but more valuable
