What was the name of the movie from the mid-1970's that
featured a guy & girl team ( crime spree ) and in the end
they were killed in a Charger ( I believe ) trying to beat
out a train at a R-R corssing. Something like crazy Larry
& dirty Jane....... Anyone remember?

Way to go Chuck!

WOW - look at that. I got three out of the four
words in the title correct. Can't believe it.

I guess I'm not that old - YET

A newer movie with enough car culture to keep me interested is "Dazed and Confused". Set in '76, but enough late '60's and early 70's muscle to make anyone grin.

-------I dont know about you guys but all of us that used to work at Classic Motors used to get together and build partys around seeing "Used Cars". Talking to any of them today you will find out we all still think its hilarious. There arent any chase scenes, but the movie just has so many points of reference for us old car nuts. It was just on a couple of days ago. Catch it if you can and tell me you didnt laugh.........Bill S

Another movie that made me was McQ with John Wayne.
He should have stuck to horses ( the real onese ! ). They
destroyed his beautiful 2nd generation Trans Am in that one!
Almost made me cry.

What about Thunderbolt and Lightfoot? Didn't they ruin a Trans Am in that one, too?

"The California Kid" with Martin Sheen driving the flamed black coupe was a good one also.

French Connection still has the best car chase scene I've ever seen.

I also like the Burt Reynolds movie, White Lightning. He had a brown [Chrysler] see-dan with a 426 hemi provided by the FBI.

that was actually a 72 galaxie 500 Burt Reynolds drove in that movie.if you remember,they did a in car shot of him sitting in it,but he was actually sitting in a Mach 1 with 4 speed,and later in the show you can see Burt shoving the galaxie into park.
