Andy.

How about this one?

And this one?

#23= movie sci/fi- THX 1138

#5 would be The Driver, terrible movie except for this car chase with red pickup.

Well done guys. Right on the money.

Re THX 1138, they used Lola T70MkIII coupes with modified bodywork, although I don't know what the red car is. It looks neat though. I believe this is the car. Anyone know what it is?

Incidentally, when George Lucas created American Graffiti, he used THX 1138 as John Milners licence plate on his yellow 32 Ford coupe.

Steve,
That looks like a kit car of one of the best looking cars ever, in my opinion, the 1966 Ferrari 330 P3.

Its from a 1976 howler called Cannonball, which was based on the Cannonball Sea To Shining Sea road race, and before Cannonball Run came along. It was a terrible movie, in which a bunch of cool cars got wrecked. Check it out here:

What are the answers for 2 and 5?

Number 2 is Cannonball

Here is an easy one highlighting a 1973 Mustang. ( Among many others !)

Ken, the original, and the best, Gone In 60 Seconds. Way better than the remake.

There were two Mustangs built for the movie, one of which was used for close-ups/incar and was crushed straight after filming. The other, the car that got wrecked during the chase scene, still exists.

Plus this is for anyone to guess. (except John McKechnie !)

The original Vanishing Point. There was a remake in 1997, but not nearly as good. Interestingly, the car that drove into the bulldozers at the end of the original was a 1967/68 Camaro. In the remake they ran a Dodge Challenger into the bulldozers.

Which reminds me...

H.B. Halicki did a second move called Gone in 60 Seconds 2 (The Junk Man) and was nowhere near as good as the first.

Yes thats right Mark. Nowhere near as good as the original.

Two Lane Blacktop. I love this movie. Not a lot of dialogue, but all cool characters. Incidentally, the '55 Chevy was also used in American Graffiti.
