Carey Loftin, the Stunt Coordinator for VANISHING POINT originally thought that when the engine and transmission were removed from the Camaro and towed into the bulldozers the car would flip up and over them. Instead it stuck to the blades creating a better shot - by accident. The only time the automatic equipped 383 Magnum R/T Challenger was used in the production was for the purpose of towing the Camaro into the bulldozers. Loftin explained "If you miss a shift with a manual trans towing a car with the rig I was using, the tow car lost all momentum which wasn't an acceptable risk as we only had one Camaro."
