But when the school moved to bring Radiator Building to market, it triggered what became a lawsuit by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, N.M., which moved to block the sale on the grounds that it violated the terms of the painter's bequest.

Here's the set-up: On a film shoot in Tennessee, a stuntwoman (played by Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's double on Kill Bill) hears that 1970 Dodge Challenger, just like the one in Vanishing Point, is for sale. She and her girlfriends visit the peckerwood who has the car, and three of them take it for a test drive while one of them stays behind to keep the guy company.
