1975+ Chevrolet Camaro Z28, I think.

It is a Camaro. Firebirds had different tailights

Even if early Firebird tailights had a close design, the ones of the movie are from a Camaro, not from a Firebird:

"1974: The 1974 Camaro grew seven inches (178 mm) longer, thanks to new aluminum bumpers required to meet federal standards and a forward-sloping grille. Round taillights were replaced with a rectangular wraparound design. It was the last year to have a flat rear window, with thick roof pillars. All later years had slimmer roof pillars and a wraparound rear window for better visibility.
1975: Chevrolet dropped the Z28 due to ever-tightening emission standards that spelled the end of the higher-output versions of the 350 cubic-inch V8.
1977: The Z28 was re-introduced to the buying public in the spring of 1977 as a 1977½."

The vehicle shown in the picture in the comment of no-a has rectangular wraparound taillight, a bumper in front of the grille and a "slim" roof pillar, so it's a '75+ model. And if it's a genuine Z28, it must be a '77+ model.


After some more research: the taillights changed again in 1978 -they became a large bar-, together with the bumpers -in tightly-fitting plastic, from then:

So the Camaro shown in the movie is a 1975-1977 model
