I must have seen it a half dozen times when it came out in the early 70's. I was a car-crazy teenager and one of the few MoPar (Chrysler Corp.) fans in my town. I knew as much about the specs of that Challenger R/T as Sherry knows about the workings of M3's! As to the movie, I recently bought it on DVD from Amazon.com and it includes an amazing commentary version by Director Richard Sarafin. I'd forgotten about the naked hippie chick scene, so that was an added bonus <g>. My other favorite cult movie from that era is "The Gravy Train" (AKA Dion Brothers) with Stacy Keach and Frederick Forrest. Unfortunately, It hasn't been released to DVD. (I dropped out of college for a few weeks to work as a set assistant during its location shoot in Western Pennsylvania.) Let's see, most of my favorite things are shared by members of this group based on past discussions: Leicas, motorcycles, bicycles, fountain pens, Omega Speedmasters, guns, cars, movies, etc., etc. Rob McClure On Dec 9, 2005, at 9:26 AM, David Rodgers wrote: > The History Channel recently aired a piece on muscle cars, with > emphasis > on the hemi powered Challenger, Road Runner and Barracuda. > SNIP
