Thank you for posting this. I have been looking for it for years! I knew that promos had aired, but I couldn't remember them. I was only 14 years old at the time the movie aired on ABC's Movie of the Week. I have been obsessed with this movie and the car ever since. Hope to travel out to Piru, California soon to visit the areas where the movie was filmed. Most gear heads affectionately refer to the car simply as The Kid. Yes, the car was and always will be The California Kid! - @Sunday, September 2, 2012 2:59 PM

The one detail that is even spelled out but still not clear to most people is the fact that Martin Sheen is NOT The California Kid. That's the name of the car! - @Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:38 PM
