Wanted old car movie, need help with I.D. of it.

That's right budnate. I do remember reading that now. I have that magazine as well. I didn't put much thought into the 3rd car when I made that post last night. I've been searching and collecting things on the blacktop 55's for several years now and I don't think I've ever seen any photos or much mention of the rollover car in TLB form. I think the only evidence of it is in the movie Graffitti when it rolled.

Marlin Dazed and Confused is one of my favorites! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That movie helped launch Matthew McConaughey (Wooderson in the movie who had a Black/white stripe 70 Chevelle SS LS5 that he named "Melba Toast") and Ben Affleck (O'Bannion the bully, he had a primer grey 70-71 Duster) into stardom! The movie is a lot of laughs and it was my influence to play "mail box baseball" with my Chevelle! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The dialouge in the movie is a bit weak but the movie was still good none the less. A couple of other good cars in the movie are the 70 GTO Judge in Orbit Orange and the SD 455 Trans Am. I rate it 3 stars!

On another note I think that someone mentioned the Mustang or whatever that car was in "Corkey". That thing has been for sale in Auto Trader for years! No one seems to be interested.

Speaking of old movies, what was the movie where they were trying to control all the gas stuff. I think it was something like Road Warrior? with Mel Gibson? Was that it? I just remember a supercharger on the engine. I don't remember what kind of car it was though. Anybody remember?

Ron that movie is one of three in the Mad Max trilogy staring Mel Gibson. Mad Max (1979) was the first, then Road Warrior (1982) and finally Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). The car which they called the "interceptor" was one of those Aussie GM Holden Mustang/Torino's I think. One of our Members GMH 454 could probably elaborate more.

Now I know what happened to my mailbox. The bill is in the mail. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As someone who lives on a rural road and has replaced 3 mailboxes in 9 years I'm sorry to hear you did that kind of stuff. A farmer down the road made a remedy to having his mailbox vandalized. Installed a homemade one about 10 years ago and no problem since. It has a solid metal 8" I-beam post, a 14-15" metal pipe about 3/4 thick for the box itself and welded on top of that front to rear is a cutter bar with spikes from an old mowing machine. You hit this baby with a bat and it may end up killing you. At least it would break an arm...hopefully.

Mel Gibson is surrently making a 4th Road Warrior movie. Title is Road Warrior: Road to Salvation. Will end filming in Nambia this summer.

Dave I was only kidding about the mail box baseball thing. Sorry to upset you.

Pop in 'Dazed and Confused', it has some pretty good car scenes - press your 'mute' button though, it's a forgettable storyline!

Your KILLING me, Marlin! I have D&C on dvd, and it's one of my favorites (hard to beat Tombstone). I can understand the weak storyline, but if you press "mute" you miss the great tunes!
