Just as the original movie should have used Mach 1s at least, if not Boss 351s.....the second movie should have used authentic looking Shelbys.

I agree with you Spike. I'm surprised the movie car Eleanor wasn't rollin dubs. lol

It was still better than most of the crap we see on the big screen.

No, I wish I had. I was at many drag races of that era. Lions, Irwindale, Orange County, Carlsbad, OCIR....magical time to be young. When you really study this candid photo of '71/'72, and identify every car here, what today, isn't bitchin or a collector car in the picture ??? Funny, the closest 'strip to me was San Fernando...and I've never been there.
