In the opening scene of Two Lane Blacktop you can see Big Willie running his '69 Daytona in a street race right before the star '55 runs against a '70 AAR Cuda (later said to have a Hemi w/a Torqueflite)

A lotta people have always wondered what happened to that hemi Daytona. The rumor I heard was that the body shell was acid dipped a little too long and caved in on itself in the acid dip tank and was scrapped. Anyone else have any info?

Guess I'm watching Two Lane again tonight.

I'm just saying that guy looks scary; even if I had a car that would beat him, would I do it?

While we're on the topic of legendary street racers and their rides, how about "Brookyln Heavy" and his Motion Camaro? Anyone got some vintage pics?
