quote
The Jupiter 8 was a two-seat sports car marketed to the inhabitants of the planet 892-IV. It was first viewed by the crew of the USS Enterprise in the television news footage upon entering orbit of the planet.
...
The Jupiter 8 was "played" by the Reactor, a custom aluminum show car designed by Gene Winfield and completed in 1965. The Reactor was based on a 1956 Citroën DS chassis and powered by a Chevrolet Corvair engine. The hand-built car featured electronically-operated doors, hood and roof. It was painted metallic green.
...
Its fleeting appearance as the Jupiter 8, warranted the shooting of a number of publicity shots with William Shatner in the guise of Captain James T. Kirk, posing with and in the car.

The Reactor Mach II was built by automotive artist Gene Winfield in 1965. According to Memory Alpha, "The Reactor was based on a 1956 Citroen DS chassis and powered by a Chevrolet Corvair engine. The hand-built car featured electronically-operating doors, hood and roof." It also had an aluminum body, which would have crumpled upon impact.
...
It made a third and final appearance in the Star Trek episode "Bread and Circuses," where the car was given the name "Jupiter 8" and appeared in a television commercial. (We surmise that the above photo was taken during the filming of the episode.)
...
Winfield also designed the Galileo 7 shuttle used in the Star Trek episode of the same name.

The Reactor has retired from TV life and now lives at Darryl Starbird National Rod & Custom Hall of Fame.

You're thinking of a different episode. The "Jupiter 8" was in "Bread and Circuses."
You may be thinking of "Assignment: Earth."

Per Harpie's Bizarre. the hot rod first appeared in the Bewitched episode "Super Car" as Darrin's dream car, given to him as a gift by his witchy mother-in-law, Endora. (Of course, Endora had stolen it.)


For many fans of Bewitched, "Super Car" is a classic script. In this episode, Endora attempts to make friends with Darrin and zaps up a fantastically modern sports car for him called the Reactor Mach II.

Darrin Reads about the Super Car in Car News Magazine

Darrin acts like a 10-year old boy on Christmas day when he sees his dream car become a reality. He prances around it and rattles off the statistics about its performance to a thoroughly unimpressed Endora and Samantha. They can't understand the attraction to a car, but to Darrin it is much, much more. After years of driving around in the Bewitched sponsor's Chevrolets, he is ready to zoom around in this sporty roadster



http://www.blastr.com/sites...mb-330x247-80134.jpg

Next, the car was dolled up, or rather kitted up, for its appearance in Batman as Catwoman Eartha Kitt's best accessory. The Kitty Car, complete with eyes, ears and a tail, appeared in the episode "The Joke's on Catwoman








It made a third and final appearance in the Star Trek episode "Bread and Circuses," where the car was given the name "Jupiter 8" and appeared in a television commercial. (We surmise that the above photo was taken during the filming of the episode.)

Met him once at a car show in Phoenix. He was there along with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and the Phoenix Giants (triple A team).
Quite a line-up.

You are not wrong, I don't recall what movie it was but in the credits she was dancing without her makeup an wig.
Very sexy, she had a great pair of legs and ass that no one seem to notice. But as a leg and butt guy I noticed.
