88 Trans Am in Coming To America

I just watched "Coming To America" with Eddie Murphy the other night on Comedy Central and for the first time (I haven't seen it in about 10-15 years) I noticed that the antagonist in the story, Darryl Jenks the "Soul Glo" guy, drives a SWEET 88 Trans Am. It looks just like this one.

Re: 88 Trans Am in Coming To America

Funny movie - Eddie is really a good actor in it.

But, I wonder where that actual car is now?

Was it destroyed in another 'Action Film'?

Is some Hollywood Exect's daughter driving it?
