Bullit with Steve McQueen...best car chase scene to date; McQueen drove a dark "Highland Green" 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 CID Fastback, chasing two hit-men in a "Jewel Black" 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum. There is a rumor that the Mustang had a souped up Chevy engine in it and the Charger needed re-enforced suspension to handle the jumps...don't know if its true.
My other favorite is an obscure movie titled: Corkey (1972), starring Robert Blake. He drove a 69 Plymouth Barricuda fastback w/highwing and wanted to be a NASCAR hero....he failed and ended up destroying the car in a demolition derby....a sad ending for a cool car and the movie. The picture doesn't do it justice....Man, the 70's what a mix up that was......Bell bottoms, Fro's, heads, straights, Disco, hippies....and some real cool cars!!!

Even though I love Chevy's, I wish Plymouth still existed!!!
