THX-1138 is Goerge Lucas's first feature film...

I just found out what the white and black cars are...
I think they are this

Lola-Chevrolet T70 MkIIIB GT

I think the red one may be this



but i can't be 100% sure.

There is a claim made by one of the actors in the film that they are all Chaparel racers but i have my doubts about that validity of that. I think he might be mistaken.

The red looks like a Ferrari P4.

EDIT:

I was searching as I was posting. I think we were thinking the same car!

The 330s are beautiful cars. Did you guys see the Victory by Design - Ferrari? I fell in love with the 330 on there. I think it was a P3 if I'm not mistaken.

THX is a good movie if you're really into Brave New World, 1984, etc,...

I'm pretty sure that one of the cars used was a Ferrari...at least thats what I heard, but who knows? In the new release, they'll be replaced by cgi Enzo's
