stirlingmac, thanks for the tip. I got Gumball Rally from the library, and thought it was a good "car movie" in general. It had lots of great racing sounds that didn't sound fake (e.g. Ferrari Daytona california convertible V12, Cobra with Ford power, GM Camaro with presumably a nascar engine). It was especially interesting to hear the V8s vs. the V12, often at the same time.
Anyways, about the 1200s ... at 1:28, they come into Los Angeles and get stuck in rush hour traffic. Just after Raul Julia says of the Ferrari "the engine is getting too hot", it looks like a white 1200 coupe goes by. It's not clear. However, at 1:29 there is clearly seen a bright green 1200 coupe, you can make out the side emblems and GL style hubcaps.
Bonus: several good shots of B210s.
But another nice circa 1969 Corona gets destroyed ...
