Anybody remember the episode of Adam 12 in which Dick Clark played the owner of a race track?
Lots of cool 60's and 70's muscle cars! I remember one particular Road Runner, green, a '70 I think??? It was only a few years old when the episode was recorded.

Episode is named "Who Won" and has a bunch of nice cars in it including the 69 and 70 RR's, a couple of 64 Plymouth's, one with a lift off hood, the other with Fender Well Headers, some old Hot Rods, AMX etc. Bing Cosby's son is also in that episode plus others.
Another good one is about a theft ring of girls stealing muscle cars, one is a 70 Challenger R/T Convertible.

One of my favorite car movies and favorite movies in general is Used Cars.. You just know it's going to be an interesting movie when it has Robert Zemeckis and Steven Speilbergs name on it and the very first scene shows someone rolling back an odometer, and spraying an interior with new car smell.
How about 'The Junkman' from the maker of the original 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. So bad, its good.
On the DVD I have, it shows behind the scenes how the stunts were done..... Long before CGI when you actually had to figure out how to make something happen. I found this part very interesting, and almost better than the movie itself.

The American Muscle Car Series is also great, around 5 seasons. Available as part of Amazon prime if you dont have it you can order the whole series on DVD on Amazon pretty cheap. It was from the original Speed channel and TNN.

I caught Dr. Strangelove the other day. Sorry, not a single car in the movie but one of my all time fave flicks. Peter Sellers as the title character is great but Slim Pickens straight up steals the movie.
I really wish I could find the documentary short about the building of the cars for Christine. I saw it back in the late 80s and have spent a lot of time hunting for it. Watched this the other day and I'd recommend it:
if anyone has ever been around dealer auctions and seen some of the shenanigans some of them pull, you will quickly understand why i just LOVE "used cars".

I have a packaged DVD set of the original Muscle Car series from the old TNN days I’ve never opened
Ahhh TNN that was the greatest network of all time. If they brought that network back they would probably have to edit the content for political correctness Nice lists from every one I've been watching You-Tube lately, Uncle Tony's and Nick's garage are a few shows to dull the senses and make me forget about whats going on outside the compound
