Doesn't look like an official video. Anyway, and just for the fun of finding details for the identification:
• The 928 was unveiled for the 1978 model year, and apparently saw no body change until 1980 in Europe, when spoilers appeared (but only for some models);
• The car has French plates from the Hauts-de-Seine department (number 92), for which 1979 plate numbers are 2196 HC 92 to 253 HX 92. 39 HL 92 place this registration number more or less in the middle of the year, giving the car a late 1979 MY... if it is its very first registration. But it also means that this car can't be newer.
⇒ 1978-79 model?
For the record, Walk All Over You is the 3rd track of the album Highway to Hell, released in July 1979. If I'm not mistaken, the guy dancing on the frozen lake is Bon Scott, who died in February 1980. So this video was obviously shot just a few weeks/months before his death. Certainly in December 1979, when the band filmed Let There Be Rock in Paris, near... the Hauts-de-Seine department.
So is this video the official release shown in Let There Be Rock, or is it just a video montage made from rushes?

If official, and if the IMPDb also works on video clips: some biplanes are used in this video.

The comment of the video says "From DVD Let There Be Rock, Live In Paris 1979"
That DVD is on IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080321/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
So the car could be added to a page for that music documentary, and then an empty page for the music video could link to it.
This was for example done for Rammstein,
- the music doc : http://www.imcdb.org/movie_420737-Rammstein--Lichtspielhaus.html
- a music video linked to it : http://www.imcdb.org/movie_1004513251-Rammstein--Du-Hast.html

The comment of the video says "From DVD Let There Be Rock, Live In Paris 1979" [...]
The video and the title effects are really of poor quality for an official release, even for 1979. And the video just shows a plane and a car "racing", then a guy (Bon Scott?) clowning around on a frozen lake, without a scenario. That's why I hardly trust the comment
I'll try to see if I can find the Dvd in the public library: it could also be a bonus in it. Is there a special habit about bonuses, or does the procedure explained in your previous comment also fits in this case?

I guess it would work too if it is a bonus (is that called that way in English? Isn't it just "extra content"?)

I acknowledge that I didn't check this time (I'm used to make word-by-word translation on first drafts...), but it seems to be used that way too. What's our anglophone friends' verdict?
About the video clip:
A friend of mine has the Blu-ray version of the documentary (it's always useful to have some musicians as friends ) and he lent it to me: I was partially right. Or wrong, for the half-empty glass supporter
The sequence is part of the documentary, used indeed as "action" during the song Walk All Over You. But unless a huge remastering was done for the Blu-ray (which is quite possible, due to the quality of the video in it), what is shown in this YouTube link looks like a montage made from a VHS-Rip, with addition of (pseudo-?) AC/DC lettering logo and title.
I think we can use Takaia's link if there is no other version in Youtube. I would have liked to add the whole documentary, as there is also the bus and the trucks used for the tour shown in the whole documentary, so at least 3 other [*][*] vehicles, and one or two background vehicles to be added in comments.
But it's not related to cars, so let's (rock 'n') roll for a simple video clip addition
