Little Timmy Posted February 27 Posted February 27 It's a cosmeticly camoflagued Lola T 70 . There were two cars in that scene, but the first one is wrecked 5 seconds after the other escapee trys to drive it. ( I think he made it about 30 feet before slamming into a concrete pillar. ) 1
Earl Marischal Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Thanks for the clarification @Rob Hall & @Little Timmy In the darkness of the film, I did wonder if it was a Howmet TX gas turbine car. steve Edited February 27 by Earl Marischal

Falcon Ranchero Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Also the '66 Chevy from Men With Brooms was pretty cool for a four-door
Radretireddad Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Aloha Bobby and Rose Camaro. I flipped over the molded fender flares and rear spoiler when I first saw it. 3
Falcon Ranchero Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Almost forgot about it till I watched it Wednesday night, the '60 Plymouth Fury from In the Heat of the Night. Very awesome movie. I know the people driving the car are the bad guys but boy they got a nice car.
FoMoCo66 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Mine is pretty stereotypical of us car guys, Milner's 32. I even built a replica out of one of the mpc switchers kits. Just something about this car is so cool. Oh and almost forgot, my second is Falfas 55. Elliot 6
Old Buckaroo Posted April 14 Posted April 14 (edited) My son and I always watch the 1980 movie "Used Cars" when he comes home, we pretty much love every car / truck driven in the high school driving class convoy. Edited April 14 by Old Buckaroo 2
Bugatti Fan Posted April 15 Posted April 15 JollySipper's Feb 21 st post. Was it the car from the movie 'Wraith' ? Looks like some prototype of concept car. Has it been made as a kit sometime in the past?

It had a twin-turbo four cylinder that was mounted midship (sidewinder-style, if I remember right) that would alllllllllmost reach 200mph.....
NYLIBUD Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Idk if these cars were already listed."Fast times at Ridgemont”high’s Camaro,the one Spicoli wrecked.😀.And the Firebird and pick up truck from “The Driver” The red Mercedes was also from the Driver.Ryan O,Neal destroyed it.,if you recall the movie. 2

What a shame they wrecked that Camaro but it was hilarious. Though I am a big fan of The Cruising Vessel, which I do belive has made it into this thread.

So-So movie but some great car chase bits. Still hated it when they painted it flat black after they were caught stealing in the drug store. 1

The '32 looked great for its part in the movie, the only thing was the chopped radiator shell looked a little off on a highboy style coupe.

NYLIBUD Posted April 19 Posted April 19 The last scene of American Graffiti 2 was how we see how John Milner is killed by a drunken driver.john just won the drag racing Championship.He jumps in his 32,drives away.Hes checking out the trophy,listening to the radio.Then you see the headlights coming straight to Milner.There was a drunk driver who was driving on the wrong side of the road,and that’s how he dies.☹️

Falcon Ranchero Posted Monday at 03:21 PM Posted Monday at 03:21 PM Never saw the whole movie, but I like the '59 Caddy in The Deer Hunter 1978. This was the scene I remember when I kinda saw this movie as a younger kid; my parents were watching it I guess I just happened into the room when it was on. Also this put me onto '59 Cadillacs. 1
