AG car Harrison Ford drove had a single 4 bl. </div></div>

Well they (Henry Travers - car caretaker for AG) swapped out the tunnel ram, cuz Fitch's car was a straight axle M22 car.

Someone post the picture of the TLB '55 camera car with the two inoperative Holleys jerry-rigged so that they were visible from inside the car on camera. (I don't know: Third base.)

Re: Two Lane Blacktop 55 Auction.
 

In the drag scene at the end of AG 3 cars were used. The #1 car with the single carb started the race. The roll over scene was the #2 car. Once the car was upside down car on fire it became a 4 dr from a local salvage yard with plywood on the sides trying to hide the fact that it was a 4 dr. It was taken back to the salvage yard after filming. This is according to the story on the yuku website.

The inside shots of Harrison Ford driving on the street with Cindy Williams were done with the automatic trans #2 camera car. All 3 cars used in TLB were 4 speeds. One was destoryed during filming according to the yuku site. The story is a good read check it out.

That pic of the car with the hokey 4 bbl. also has an A/C compressor on it!

Re: Two Lane Blacktop 55 Auction.
 

I got a good look at the #1 AG car back in '75. At the time it was owned by Sam Crawford of Dixon,CA. The car was entered in the Vacaville Fiesta Days Parade (Vacaville is 12 miles from Dixon). About half way thru the parade route the car stated over heating. Myself along with some other friends pushed the car off of the parade route. The car had a single Holley on it at that time and still had the straight axle and coilover shocks. The car was pretty rough at that time.

The Two Lane Blacktop car was also used on an episode of Adam-12; I am sure that must have been prior to the filming of American Graffiti.
