I saw them advertising it on "Svengholie"  What a classic. But what an absolute pu**y Dennis Weaver's character was.

How come you never see a Duel Dodge Dart tribute car at car shows?
I have seen a semi truck tribute one at a So Cal antique truck show.

I have seen a semi truck tribute one at a So Cal antique truck show. Maybe because they didn't use a Dodge Dart. The car was a Plymouth Valiant. Yeah, they are essentially the same.....Pretty sad though that a Mopar guy can't get it right.

I have seen a semi truck tribute one at a So Cal antique truck show. Because it is a Valiant? A guy in North Carolina supposedly has the 2nd truck they used in filming. It was purchased from a guy in California. Trivia question, why was the trucker trying to kill Dennis Weaver?

And a V8 Valiant. First time I saw movie as a kid I saw the Veight badging on fenders and that made the car a little cooler to me.

I've seen others mention these channels but I haven't heard of them before.
Agreed on Weaver's character. What a limp wrist wimp.... It's a great network. "Memorable Entertainment Television". I have watched The Rockford Files, Kojak, Columbo, and many other 70's shows and movies that were good, especially for seeing city streets back then and the cars! The Rockford Files had some of the greatest chase scenes!

Larry....Do you watch Adam 12??  Oh my gosh I've seen every single one at least ten times! I recently watched the one in which the fleet employee that washes cars stole the '67 Belvedere and Adam-12 was pursuing until suspect ran out of gas. It was great. The suspect was smoking the right rear around every turn.  You may remember the episode in which a bunch of cute young girls were involved in a car theft ring? There was a nice '70 or '71 orange Challenger convertible. It's been awhile since I've seen that one but it was a nice car. Got stolen from "Wally Cleaver" who was playing a Marine on leave. I love scenes in which they are filming actual streets of LA back in early 70's. Sometimes I will slow down picture to catch some of the names of businesses, especially car dealerships.

Yeah,that 70 Challenger was an R/T. That episode was just on a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoy shows like this just to see the cars and nice gals from the 70s. It was a much more simple life back then.

This is actually the 2nd Sven. He started out as the Son of Svengooli when the 1st guy retired. After he'd done it longer than the original they dropped the Son of part.
Most of the movies are horrid, and that's the fun of it.
