The movie "Drive" will be out Sept 16th. I spotted the car in the driveway of the buyer/builder/lead actor's driveway yesterday. Ryan Gosling gave me permission to post this, so here goes.
Drive is not your usual big budget Hollywood splash flick. It's budget was under $10 million. It's about a mechanic who moonlights as a get away driver in order to make ends meet. He meets a girl and wants out, but has to complete one last job to keep his girl from harm from bad guys.
Ryan really wanted to pull off being a car guy, but really didn't know squat about cars. So, he went out and bought a '73 Malibu 454 coupe that was a total shit box and preceded to rebuild it from front to back. He also learned how drive it, getting stunt training from the pros.
I don't much about the car, but it is a factory 454 car, and still sports the big block. The paint was chosen to look like gray primer on screen. Inside, are buckets seats, nice stereo, Auto Meter gauges and tach, B&M Z Gate shifter. The wheels are Ridler's with Firestone Firehawk tires in 235/60's and 275/60's.
Here are a couple scenes from the movie. The official trailer will be released next month.
BTW, Ryan is a totally cool guy.
