padgett Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Didn't know the THM350 was a four speed. Always liked the '78 with WS6 and Muncie better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdome Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I have the TV on while working on my computer. Watching "The Blob" with Steven McQueen. I didn't know he went by Steven in his early career. The Blob is a very bad movie with poor acting. He drives a blue shoe box convertible in this movie. Do think it may show up at auction for a few million soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Plymouth Cranbrook (mentioned in another thread). Svengoolie had it a few weeks ago with his usual commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree on that one! The Mustang Bullitt was ordered with a few high performance and handling options in Highland Green, a regular production color, which was nothing out of the ordinary for anyone ordering a 1968 Mustang fastback at the time. And nowhere on the Marti Report for the Bullitt, does it state its '1 of 1' for any option/color combination. The only modifications were post-delivery from the dealer where there were some performance & chassis modifications by Max Balchowsky as well as several mounting holes drilled for mounting some lightweight Arriflex cameras inside and on the vehicle.

SC38dls Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 They also modified the grill so it would look more like a car a cop would own and put different wheels on it. Have you ever counted the number of hub caps that come off the dodge or the times they pass the same VW during the chase? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Could you imagine trying to do that chase scene today using cars equipped with all the accident avoidance stuff they have today? The cars would not go forward two feet before stopping, telling you to get back in your lane, won’t accelerate if there is someone crossing the street, it just wouldn’t be the same! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Chad McQueen recently try to squeeze [yet another] few pennies and a few seconds of personal fame for himself out of his father's corpse by making a modern "remake" of the chase scene using a new Mustang and Charger?

Yes. With the monkeys from Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
