Movies ( was RE: Bullit)

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

An interesting trivia for Vanishing Point is that it was not a Charger but: "A 1967 Camaro shell (no engine) loaded with explosives was used for the final crash. You can see the "Camaro" fender nameplate upside-down in the lower left corner of the screen after the crash."

Also, the RT Charger was 440 powered, not a Hemi.

Moreover, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" released in 1963 was a showcase for Chrysler's 1962 model year.

is the promo film trailer. One fun part of the film's trailer is the 1962 Dodge B 'vert jumping off the pavement while screaming down road! In typical movie behavior these cars -- then new -- were mostly trashed, so beware.

Thanks,
