I think that was a modified Mark VII, aka LUX 6000 in the first one.

Actually that's true....

F you Shawn.

Here's another, from "The Maze", about 2 minutes in:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the Movie Terminator 2, during the Dirtbike/Semi Chase scene, the Semi driven by the T-1000 smashes a stripped down hulk of a 83-86 T-bird out of its way. At least it looked like the stripped down rusted hulk of one.....the tail lights looked about right.

anyone remember The Wraith?

It sure looked like it. 

And the 6000 SUX was based on a GM midsize car from the mid 1970s...Buick Regal, Chevy Malibu, Olds Cutlass Supreme...IIRC the doors told me it was the Chevy.

Two complete SUX cars that were fully operational was built with parts for a third one that the pro*duction people blew up in Dallas. From the beginning they wanted a big car in the four-door configuration, one that could be modernized to make It look more futuristic, so for the basic body they chose a '77 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, mainly because it had an Interesting window line.

They designed in a large air inlet In the front, a couple more air inlets on the sides and toward the rear and then a very large rectangular exhaust system In the center rear. The actual auto bodies themselves were made from fiberglass components. They mocked up the SUX in metal, foam and plastic, and then took fiberglass molds of it and made fiberglass parts. The complete front end was all removable as one piece back to the windshield, and the back end lifted up like a trunk. As for the engine and interior work, that was all stock -whatever came with the Oldsmobile in the first place.
