Tombstone is awesome. Does anyone remember Independence Day from the early 80's? It had David Keith racing a 69 Z28???

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

Bud,
It is one of my favorite "B" Car Movies. The Mopar at the Begining of the Movie is a 1965 Plymouth Satellite with a 426 Race Hemi (Not a Dart).

Since I am on the Subject of Mopars and Movies, "Vanishing Point" is a clasic with a Challenger as the star car and the movie "Phantasm" features a Hemi Cuda.

You can order those online as well.

For the Chevy Diehards there is ??????? I can't remember the name With Christopher Walken and Sean Penn. A few scenes with a 1970 Chevelle Super Sport and a 1969 Z28.

One that was pretty cool for me was the modern day remake of Shaft. Samuel L Jackson drives a 1987 Monte Carlo SS! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

Oh yeah. Lets not forget for the Pontiac fans Smokey & the Bandit with the 78 Black&Gold T/A.

And for the Ford fans theres Bullitt. Probably one of the coolest car chases in Hollywood history between Bullitts Mustang fast back and the bad guys 68 Charger. One of the coolest Mustangs ever IMO.

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

Stefano, the movie with Penn and Walken was "At Close Range" which was a great movie with some nice Chevy history.

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

I have been trying to find a movie called "The Racing Scene" with James Garner 1969. It is a documentary type movie where a film crew followed the Garner racing team around to races in 1969. There are clips of Don Yenko and his crew racing a Camaro at Daytona. I saw the movie on Speed Channel and wanted to tape it but they never ran it again. I emailed a bunch of people but all say it is not available and only way to get it is a boot leg copy that some taped from Speed Channel.
Any one know a Speed Channel junkie who tapes the old movies?

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

Stefano,
As soon as the movie started I recognized the car as not a Dart,It gave me sick feeling in my gut though, I had a Real Bad experience a few years ago with a í65 Cornett, with a psycho Mopar guy from H###, but that is a whole diff story.

Lets not forget Good Old Burt Reynolds in was it Gator? He had the Big car with a Big-Block and 4spd.

And ya gotta love James Bond for doing the corkscrew jump in his AMC, Suppose one of those is worth a few bucks about now?.LOL.

How about Thunderbolt amd Lightfoot.A nice Pontaic TA and a Monster Ply Fury(?) with a trunk full of bunny rabbits.That was the funniest wreck I have ever seen on TV.Had the exhaust run into the car for a real High....barrel rolled it and out came the rabbits.From then on out it was open season,the driver had a shotgun.Funny as hell......

That Bunny killer also played the Ned Beatty lover in Deliverance.

Stefano & Budnate
You guys are both right,with different Movies.

1973 White Lightning-Burt Reynolds released from jail to seek revenge for his Dead brother & get bad Moon Shining Sherrif Ned Beatty.(Ned deserved an Academy role I thought).I think Burt drove a Mopar.

1976 Gator-Burt Reynolds chases Bad guy Jerry Reed as Bama,and his Gigantic right hand man Bones.
Bones was so tall,his Head stuckout of the sunroof of the LTD he drove.

JoeC, I have a original movie poster for "The Racing Scene" with James Garner. Seems when I did a Google search to find out the value if the poster I found a couple websites that sell hot rod and racing movies and posters. Try that search.

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

In the movie with Burt Reynolds as Gator Mc Klusky,if you watch it real close he bangs that 4 speed really hard ,but after the chase through town and when he pulls up to his parents home watch real close and you can see him put the auto on the column in PARK! Anybody remember the old thunder road movie with Robert Mitchum,Was not any Supercars in it but he had some pretty fast old fords one in particular was a 57 ford.

Re: Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.
 

Another good car movie was Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry. Started out with a mean sounding 4dr big chevy. I think it was a '66, but it's fuzzy now. They end up in a cool '69 Charger, yellow with black strips down the sides similar looking to the Motion stripes. There is another movie that is vaguely in my mind I saw yeeeears ago in my childhood. Can't remember much about it. There is a part in the movie where there's one guy chasing another guy and he ends up without a car somehow at somebodys house and the guy at the house says you can borrow my car and he opens this old shed door and pulls out a green (I think) '69 or so Mustang with sidepipes and (I think) alum. slot wheels. All I really remember is the green and the sidepipes. Does anyone know what in the hell I'm talking about?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I'd really like to know what movie this is so I can put this faded memory to rest. I think it was on televison back in the 70s.

I remember the movie with the Mustang. Wasn't the first car they had a '67-'68 blue Camaro that was wrecked? Then they grabbed the Mustang?

Here is a good one to watch, it is called,

Drag Racing History- '67&'68 U.S.Nationals,

picked it from HotRod memories this week, really cool!! has allott of top fuel action,and all the factory door slamers, but I think they have the years wrong it may be '68/'69, there are abunch of 69 camaros in the first half and Mickey Thompsons Mach-1 Funny car as well,we dont get to see allot of Camaros run, the Mopars are beating up on people but still some nice Chey stuff running,anyway I really liked it, did abunch of frame by frame viewing of cars in the pits, I give it two thumbs up.
