Kadett Rallye spotted in Vanishing Point

I think there's a red (with black strip) Opel Kadett Rallye in the old car classic film "Vanishing Point" about 1/2 through the film. It's in the background of a news interview scene. Some guy's blocking the front end, so it's hard to be sure.

Anyone else seen this and can verify?

For you young guys who have never seen this CCF (classic car flick);
Vanishing Point is about an ex-Viet Nam marine, ex-cop, ex-racer that has been delivering cars between Colorado and San Francisco for several years. This time they give him a 1970 Dodge Challenger (can you spell hemi). He pops some uppers and away he goes. Along the way he re-evaluates his relationships, gets in touch with himself, works on self-improvement issues, and calls his closest buddies to tell them he loves them. Oh wait, I've confused that with the mamby-pamby film I didn't watch. In this film he just gets in the car and hauls butt from Denver to San Francisco.
(and yes, there is a UK version available)
