Does anybody remember these movies??
Everybody has heard of Bullitt, American Graffiti, Vanishing Point etc. But what about these??
Back in '76-'77 there was a t.v. movie of the week where two guys went across country hauling a '70-'72 red Chevelle SS on a custom car hauler. The truck and "ramp" truck were also painted red. The main guy picked up the other guy-they were past friends and his motorcyle. The car was drag raced and also circle tracked I believe-hey it's Hollywood. There is a slight possibilty the car may have been a 442 but I'm not sure. Has anybody seen this movie besides me??
Anybody see the the movie Corky?? Besides Robert Blake, the real star of the movie is the George Barris customized '67 Barracuda complete with Superbird style wing, side pipes, wide slotted rims and lace /panel paint. In the beginning the car street races a green '69 SS Camaro-great side by side footage. There is also a '70 Chevelle SS in the shop where Corky works. The movie was made in '70 or '71.
How about the movie "Outrage" circa '73 starring Robert Stack and his family who are terrorized by the local neighborhood kids. One kid has a '56 straight axled Chevy Nomad and another with a '70-'73 Camaro Street machine. Stack finally has enough at the end(after they run over the family dog) and goes to the kids house who has the Nomad and while the family is watching from the window(they know he is really ticked off and refuse to come outside) burns up the car with gasoline. This movie was based upon an actual event.
Anybody have copies of these movies??
