There are really only 2 REAL car movies...

1) LE MANS

2) GRAND PRIX

The CANNONBALL would be third . I clearly remember " THE SEA -TO- SHINING SEA CANNONBALL MEMORIAL TROPHY DASH ". I even had a chance to discuss it with Brock Yates at the 50th Annual Sports Car Club of America Convention held in Boston in Feb.1994 . The guy IS A REAL PIECE OF WORK !

Quoted:
In the first movie Eleanore was a 73 mustang while in the second it was supposed to be a 67 Shelby. No real Shelbys were thrashed in the movie.

Zoinks!  It _has_ been a long time since I've seen the original!  Not being a big Fordfanatic Rustangs tend to look alike to me.  Even if it was a plain jane L6 '67 it still saddens me to see old American cars trashed to make Hollyweird movies.  Please, feel free to destroy all the late model Japcrap, Euro-sedans & minivans you like but leave classic Detroit iron alone.

Absolutely Vanishing Point.  The original with Barry Newman, not the ^%@! remake.

How about Dukes of Hazzard. I almost cried when I read how many 68 / 69 Chargers got thrashed during filming.  There is still a shortage of them in Cali.
BTW Did you know that Cooter is running for Congress!

Oh my god!

I think I remember what you guys are referring too as the "Cannonball" movie.

Its the one with David Caradien(aka Grasshopper)drivin a trans am around with his screwball mechanic?

Another godawfull ,tripped out '70's flick.[:)]

Can anyone here tell me why Caradien got so much face time in the '70's ?

He's an awfull actor,and an even worse sex symbol-toughguy-super hero type.

Although he was clearly a better choice to play the lead in Kung Fu than Bruce Lee.[rolleyes]
