Matt Harwood Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This Willys-Knight was in the 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde" with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, co-starring as "Stolen Car #1." Looks a little different today thanks to a restoration sometime after the movie was finished, but it's fully documented. Not sure it adds any value, but it's a cool footnote.

I'd say it adds value & is a neat footnote! Tho, with a car like that, I'm not sure which I prefer ... the nice restoration it has had ... or leave it alone & in original condition. Course, if it is in HORRIBLE shape, a restoration is far better than the alternative.

62BillT Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Kind of related. I sold the Front Clip that they put on the '68 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible that they used in the Movie "Forces of Nature" with Sandra Bullock. The way I understand it is that they wreck the front end of the car while filming one of the car scenes, beyond repair. Now I'm all Chevrolet, but a friend of mine was sending a '68 Bonneville 4-Dr to the crusher. I hated to see it go, but I bought the Front Clip off of it, which was in real nice shape, before it got hauled off. They saw my ad in Hemmings and drove up from Georgia to pick it up. I believe the filming was in Savannah. When I finally got to see the movie a few years later, there it was, on a car that they made to look pretty junky, lol.

ScarredKnightfan Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Heh ... learn something new everyday. I was aware of SOME of those, James, but not all of the ones you listed. Awesome! Definitely related, I'd say, Bill ... that's actually kinda cool ... except for it being on a car made to look junky ... LOL!
