"That's a bitchin car"....."yours aint bad either". Love that triple black elky!
Always wondered the back story on that one. Always wanted to, and will, hit the "tail of the dragon" too.

Thanks...Graeme

There are rooms available at the Leows and the aLoft, which are both just a few blocks away and also at the Sonesta, which is a few miles away with free shuttle service.

There MAY be one or two at the Hyatt.

The guy was apparently a local in the area where they filmed the scene (Athens, TN) , do some Google searching and you will find the story. A friend of the owner's or a person from the town posted on H.A.M.B. (?) maybe about it.

From a member on H.A.M.B. : "In that last scene ,,at that old airport ,,,where he's racing that Black n White SS eL Camino ,,,the Owner / Driver of that eL Camino's name is "Spoolie" ,,,he's alive n well still living in Tennesee ,,he's a friend of a member on the Two Lane Blacktop Group Forum ,,

That was posted 14 years ago...Spoolie may not still be with us.

Below is Monte Hellman, the Director of TLB holding a photo that was taken with Spoolie's camera of the ElCo and the 55- story is here https://www.facebook.com/TLB55/posts...8449908325294/
