Favorite car in a non car movie/tv show

[OHC 6 Sprint]

Sometimes its fun to watch old movies just to see the cars parked or driving around in the background.

My wife HATES when I do that ... but I'm right there with ya. I'll even pause a DVD and back it up a few seconds to point them out.

1970 GTO in "Slap Shot" (Paul Newman's ride.)



1966 GTO in "Knight and Day"



1971 Trans Am from "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot"

You already got some of my favorites.

I was unaware there was another hockey flick with a 70 GTO in it, and its even the color mine is. w00t! The other hockey movie was Youngblood and it had this 70 driven by his older brother. They had a Stang in there too...



Is "Dazed and Confused" considered a car movie?



One of the James Bond movies had a 69 Cougar ragtop that got trashed.

Before.


After.


Any time I see a car like one of mine in a flick I notice. Sometimes its fun to watch old movies just to see the cars parked or driving around in the background.

Somebody already nailed mine which was good because I could not remember the name of the movie but it was McQ with John Wayne in his brewster green Trans Am. My other fav was the cuda from Miami Vice which someone also mentioned. So, oh what the heck, Smokey and the Bandit and his Black Trans Am.

Does Blues Brothers count as a Non Car movie?

I think mine is still the Impala from Supernatural

Life on Mars had some cool ones
Sam Tyler's Chevelle was nice

One of the other's had a GTO Convert

Gene Hunt had a nice Coronet

And of course lots of police cars

There was a short lived series on Fox recently called Alcatraz. Set in San Franciso-the main character girl drove a "Bullitt" '67 Mustang fastback that was pretty sweet.

Banana buggy - how stoned were these guys?



Hardcastle and McCormick -



the rocket assisted T/A in Hooper - I couldn't find the 4dr Torino he rolled with Tony in it, that was really my favorite.



/edit - found it. I didn't remember the stripe. I remember it being total sleeper and the guys talking "I drove that thing the other day and it hauls ass - what's it got in it?" and the old movie prop guy - "it's got a 428 Police Interceptor, balanced and blueprinted, it's plenty hot"



and asking Dad - What does "Balanced and blueprinted mean? Doesn't the wagon have a 429? Why does it say "Premium Fuel Only" on the gas gauge and the gas door? "

I had a lot of questions...

Do I have to have a "Favorite" ?

Darren always had a 'vert for ol Samantha, I think she noze jobbed those things up







for such a dorky geek, he musta had something going on - hot blonde wife, and this unexplainable good taste in cars.
