In a philosophical sense, one could say just like we will always be here because we are made of stardust, Jim's car is too.

Not to further derail the original post, but you guys probably remember that Project X was the actual project car from Popular Hot Rodding Magazine. The movie was filmed a year or two before I worked there. I did drive the car later on.  It was a handful with 90/10 drag shocks, blower and spool rear-end.  Fun on the strip, but not so much on the street.   

The car still exists. Went through a major resto/re-imagine in 2007 by Chevrolet for display at SEMA.  Too bad they removed the circa-1967 Tony Nancy tuck 'n' roll interior.

Unfortunately for Popular Hot Rodding Magazine itself, it got absorbed twice into other publishing companies and is no longer in existence. 
Hot Rod has claim to the car now. Ironic.

Which car was Morrisons car is is known. The car has not shown up anywhere to be verified as far as I know. Just rumors and urban legend.
