Vanishing Point – ’70 Dodge Challenger

Bullitt – Charger vs Mustang

So before we continue we need to get an L, N, and R. thumbsup.gif jumpy.gif

Actually, I believe we’re missing N thru R (N, O, P, Q, R). Good luck with ‘Q’! icon_cheesygrin.gif

Le Mans (don’t remember who starred in it… James Garner, maybe?)

Have you watched it again? Good movie? How would you comare it to Bullitt?

[GTO Man]

[Garibaldi]

Oh yeah, that’s right. So what was the racing-themed movie James Garner was in?
Next “fill-in” letter is ‘N’…

I believe that was a Yenko Camaro. I love both of those movies. Not a fan of imports. All american muscle is the way to go. I must say, as big a car fanatic I like to think I am, I haven’t seen bullit

“The Car”

I don’t know what kind of car it was, or is, or might have been!

edit… Just found it. The car was a Lincoln.

There were six Cars built for filming by Barris Kustoms in Lynnwood, California: one main car of steel and five fiberglass replicas. Three replicas were destroyed in the climactic explosion scene and the other two replicas were wrecked in rollovers. The gloss-black main Car is a custom Lincoln Mark III with a locked 4.11 differential (to allow easier spinning), heavy-duty suspension, roll bar, safety harness, and amber-tinted glass. The top is lowered and the beltline raised. Twelve craftsmen built the main Car in six weeks.
