Does anybody remember these movies??

I recently bought Two Lane Blacktop and what do you want to bet that it's the same GTO in Dazed? Just kidding, but it is another best with the mute on.

What about a movie where a kid comes to town to race the local "legend" called the "Iceman" and the local cop keeps trying to run him out of town claiming the Iceman is dead. Well, the kid starts dating the cop's daughter and in the end he kidnaps her and the ransom is a grudge match with Iceman. Turns out that the cop is the Iceman, who quit street racing after his wife was killed in a race he was driving. So the cop goes down to the local junkyard and gets his old ride out of storage, "Kept 'er tuned the way you like it, knew you'd be back, Iceman" says the toothless mechanic at the yard, and I swear it's the '55 from Graffiti and Two Lane. Anyways they race and the kid ends up running his Chevelle(?) into a bulldozer ala Vanishing Point.

Anyone?

you can find info on most of these good old movies on the Internet

best part of "two lane black top" is listening to the M22 wine in the 55 Chevy

The Barracuda from Corky was also used in the Sears Diehard commercial in the early to mid '70's. The dads car would not start so he borrowed his son's and the end of the commercial the car was stalling & lurching down the street obviusly driven by the dad with no "street machine" experience. It's funny how these cars get recycled. The 55 Chevy in Two Lane Blacktop is the same car in American Graffitti. There were 3 Cuda's made. One was destroyed making the movie. One was in Mopar Collectors Guide 5-6 years ago still with George Barris paint for $6500. The other car is reportably still in Texas.

Here is another movie from the '70's. Any ideas??It dealt with some kids on the run from the law in either '67 or '68 Camaro-the car was dark blue SS. After the car is totally trashed they "borrow" a really nice '69-'70 Mach 1 Mustang(green?) from a friend and trash it too. This was a really low budget/no name flick. It was not "Eat My Dust"

Kiva75: That was an episode from Tales from the crypts. It was with Bradd Pitt as the racer in the yellow 68-9 velle and he terrorizes the cop who has a 55-6-7 (can never tell em apart) and the cop refuses..blah blah blah.

Every now and then they re-air it on the show. I caught it once and taped it.
