John Schneider is the "bandit." That big feller named Tyrus is the Sheriff. T-top Dodge Challenger with a fire chicken on the hood does the speeding and the jumping.
Saw it at age 13 with a friend the night it came out. It's just possible I was the first in the world to yell "That's a Camaro!" right after the scene where the car was folded up against the dozer blades.
Legend has it that they towed the Camaro into the dozer blades with a 383 automatic Challenger, one of 4 or 5 Challengers, (the rest were 440 4 speed cars), on loan from Chrysler.
That's a tasty morsel for Mopar fans.
Chrysler was not happy with the content of the movie and had them all crushed. A very unfortunate move on their part if you ask me.
See my home page for a very nice picture of a white '70 Challenger. It's not mine, but it's close, (mine has fat tires on the back). When I bought it, it came with Cleavon Little's, (Super Soul), original copy of the script.
Don't know how that script became part of the deal but it looks legit.
Golden would work, not too far from me, (50 miles). Do you know about the Golden Super Cruise? First Saturday of the month, May through October. It's a big one, they've done it for years.
Of course, Covid has it screwed up but they said it will start up again when the restrictions are lifted.
Be perfect for that Plymouth truck of yours and I could definitely meet you there except for June. Going Marlin fishing.
