Love these T/A s . I thought this gold paint was only an option in 1978 , think they had problems with the paint , that was why it was dropped . I lived next door to a gold 78 some years ago so :) Sure loved that car.

Sweet! Makes me want to watch Smokey and the Bandit again. (I've got all three of the movies, not that 90's TV movie junk, either)

So. I'm NOT the only one who knows about the 90s "Bandit" knock-offs. And, yes, it's true. Thay ARE junk compared to the real deal "Smokay and the Bandit" films. Don't get me started on that P.O.S. (Piece Of Shit) 1991 Dodge Stealth that they replaced the Trans Am with. Junk, because of the look. I can tell which car would win (the Trans Am and the Dodge Stealth) just by LOOKING at them.

While this page is on the topic of movie cars, how about any of the following for this game?

imcdb.org/vehicle_11069-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-II-1959.html - Grand Theft Auto (movie, 1977)

imcdb.org/vehicle_174447-Audi-A8-Typ-4E-2008.html - The Transporter 3 (2008)

Even though it's San Fransisco and not LA...

imcdb.org/vehicle_6501-GM-TDH-5303-1966.html - Speed (1994)

And, the long shot award goes to...

imcdb.org/vehicle_4113-Dodge-M4S-Turbo-Interceptor.html - The Wraith (1986)

Then, i´ll give you one of the best chases ever:



There are 5 parts in total. For the record, all the stunts are real, and the crash with the pole on the highway was a real accident.

Also, they only used one Mach 1, and even with all that, Eleanor is still alive and can be driven!

If you're a fan of movie car chases then it's a must see! Absolutely affiliates the remake.

Unfortunately I haven't seen the original either, but I can easily believe that. In fact, I hate most remakes... :whistle:

BTW, wasn't it a Pontiac Le Mans that Gene Hackman drove in French Connection? Love that movie! :D

There's one thing, though...the car in Gone In 60 Seconds was a GT500, not a Mach 1...

But, there's already a GT500 in the game, so it doesn't matter.

Quote Basically, any cars you can think of from one of these movies is in there – the Ford Torino (from Starsky & Hutch), the Dodge Monaco cop cars (from The Blues Brothers and Dukes of Hazard), the Ford Mustang (most famously in Bullitt), Pontiac GTO (The French Connection), Mustang Mach 1 (Gone in 60 Seconds), Pontiac TransAM (Smokey and the Bandit). I could go on and on…

Nah. it needs a certain yella 32 Ford *cough* Milner coupe from american graffiti *cough*


Not sure if it's the same thing, but throw in the car from the cover of ZZ Top's "Eliminator" album, and I'll be satisfied (and a Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon).

Racing freak, where did you get that picture from, i spent hours looking on sites and i can not find this and some other pictures anywhere.

It says 1969 Ford with a 351W engine (a Windsor engine), probably it's a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351 Windsor.
Yeah, the car on the left reminds me the 3rd generation of Cadillac Eldorado.

Also, above in the right side you can see written "a little truck", maybe it's a pick up truck.

If you download the photo from Facebook using the download button, you get a better resolution. It says 1969 Ford. Also I think the car to the left of the Challenger is actually an old Cadillac, since it's a side profile shot with a large fin, silver rims and whitewall tires, and the side trim.

2011-04-24 00:29
possibly the back end of a Countach to the left of the Challenger? Please please please please!!!

Anyway, looks like it could say 1969 also

Has anyone tried that email yet?

Any way you could possibly zoom in on it? (It's next to the Challenger description)

Wow you guys are quick!

Yes to the Ghostbusters ambulance!

It still needs a Corvette (or 5)! And Pontiac GTO, and Japanese cars...


And (as much as I hate them...) some kind of Hummer.

I could go on all day/night about the cars I'd like to see, but...
