Orignal gone in 60 seconds (not the digital remastered one either the orignal vhs version) alot of cars on the street and a high performance cars do pop up in the background.

A old school disney movie "the north avenue irregulars" there is a awesome unmolested 69 Gtx wearing magnums in a good portion of the movie.

The start of two lane blacktop with the red AAR Cuda. Its been the only cuda I've seen so far with working reverse light  :smilielol:

I have been going through some older movies looking.

Gone in 60 Seconds is the only movie i have seen my old Custom 880 in, right before the last jump scene, he races through the traffic and you can see a 64 880 in the background, a white one i think.

in Saturday Night Fever, when they are looking for the other gang to beat up, i think the 64 Impala gets past by a L88 Vette, mid 70's Duster sitting inthe parking lot in the scene where Stefani and Tony sit looking at the bridge.  And a 64 Tempest sitting at the curb when they are walking to the coffee shop.

White Lightning has a few early A Bodys

No one ever mentions Vaughn Currie's 68 Hemi Super Bee in Two Lane Blacktop, Poplar Dodge is still in business.  70 Super Bee in Bad Boys 2

52 Pick Up has a 75 Charger and a 69 GTX

I have the James Bond Extreme DVD set and there are a amazing amount of older cars in those movies,  When they made Live and Let Die they must have bought every 73 Chevy they could find.  there is a really rare Mini Moke, 67 Galaxie, 65 Marlin in the scene where the chase in the airport starts.  In the extra feature dvd for Diamonds, they say they took the 351 out of the Mustang and put a 429 in it.

Diamonds also has a 56 Buick in the background in the gas station scene, a 60 Dart Seneca as well as a ton of other neat cars in the Las Vegas parking lot, in the casino back lot scene freeze the movie, there is a 60 Ranchero, a 60 Fairlane, what i think  is a 60 Pontiac, a early Falcon and others.  A 64 Mercury wagon in the Las Vegas street scene

The Man with the Golden Gun has tons of older Toyota's and Australian Holdens and Fords

You Only Live Twice has the really rare Toyota 2000 GT, lots of "classic" Toyota's and Subaru's in that movie too, a 65 Mustang sitting on the side of the road, a really rare 61 Plymouth Coronado Limo, a 59 Impala Convert.

A View to a Kill has a 71 Mustang in the scene where the top gets ripped off the camper in San Fran, a 84 Starion is in the chase scene too, more movies to watch

Brock Samson

I've never seen mention that in the TV show weeds, the brother in law drives a General Lee in the Season that takes place in Mexico,.. That's not why i watch the show though,..  :shruggy:

who says that? actually it should be opposite, the hero-car is a real 429 scj but for the stunt with two wheels they had to get a lighter 351c car to do it. ( in the movie its funny when Sean changes the car from right wheels to left wheels between the stunt, or other way around.anyway impossible of course..)i think it was carey loftin doing the stunt but dont remember for sure. the hero car is alive, it was in old mustang magazine I have somewhere.

Hate it or not the General Lee is timeless.......

Yes,i am talking about the back ground cars, always neat to see what they forgot to move or used for a extra car.  In American Grafitti, when Kurt runs out into the intersection after getting kicked out of the VW, if you have a good HD tv and good dvd player with zoom, freeze frame it and go through frame be frame, there is a 72 Cutlass sitting at the curb, with a 71 Toyota at the stop light.
