Look at the Blitz3D docs for 'pivots'.

You need to create a pivot and parent it to 'CMesh' (the car body), then offset the pivot on the y-axis.

; # Needs to be placed after the 'Create car body' code
Global YourPivot=CreatePivot(CMesh)
PositionEntity YourPivot,0,5,0

Next, point the camera at the pivot instead of the car body in the UpdateCam() function of the demo...

Change...

PointEntity Camera,CMesh

to...

PointEntity Camera,YourPivot
