I remember this Camero from the issue of Car Craft. The whole issue dealt with road racer styled cars which was definitely my cup of tea. Great work as usual, Boss! 👍
I lived around the corner from that car dealer shame I missed the chance on buying that car. Oh well, I do have a 69 Z/28 real DZ today. Thank you for the video on this car. Memories of my teenage 70's.
Last night I rewatched this movie, as I do every now and then just for the Camaro, and shortly after , I found your informative video on the car, I was very surprised to see it . I've always loved that trans am series road racer style of muscle cars , the wide rubber , the wheels ( often Miniltes) chin spoilers, hood pins etc. The Bobby and Rose car has extra appeal to me for it's wheel's , those 5 slot mags are my all time favorite wheel ,and I would think that they were the original Ansen brand on this car? ( the design was copied by many other manufacturers) Also cool to learn that the engine was a Traco built 302 , as for it running an Edelbrock manifold and four barrel in the movie instead of Webers, the reason may have partly been because the expensive downdraft setup , wouldn't be typical for a young guy with limited finances. Also it's interesting that the car was built as a racer by American International Racers , led by this guy Dan Mc Laughlin who I,d actually never heard of , but I know of the team with that name which was owned by the actor James Garner, I suppose it must be the same team , although I noticed in the photo of their transporter they used a different style of logo , and that they were unloading a Lola T70 painted white , and Garners Lola's were blue ???. Anyway, thanks ( from New Zealand) .
I love these style of racers as well and am a big Camaro fan in general. Regarding the wheels, different sources state different brands, but mast say Ansen, US, or American Racing, but their all pretty much the same. Yeah, Dan McLaughlin owned the group after James, so there's a lot of cross over when folks discuss AIR in general.
@@CarStarz42 Wheels are absolutely original US Indys or American Racing indys. We called them US RACERS. American Racing was the brand name. Indy was that particular 5 kidney shaped holes, deep dish (big offset) straight rim style. American Racing were the originals & we saw them here in Australia in the early '70s. Ansens were a very close copy possibly made on the original tooling. I bought a set of used US Indys in 1984. Mine are smaller 13"X7" & 13"X8" which we had on a 1970 Holden Torana with Group C style fibreglass flares. The Ansen replicas arrived in the earlyy '80s. Never saw any 13X8s from Ansen. Bob Jane Tmarts sold Ansens here. Of course, the rims on the camaro are 15s, probably 8s & 10s. I still have a few original centre caps from these wheels. One says "American Racing". Another is showing a half round red & blue American flag with a half round "US" in the medallion. The only way we can tell the difference between the older US Indys & the fresher Ansens is all the genuine original US Indys have the wheel size cast proud in 1" numeralls on the back side. The Ansens have no size cast on them. Every 13X8 we've ever seen had the size cast on which indicates Ansen never made 13X8s. We had very few cars here in Aust with sufficient wheel arch to accommodate American Racing deep dish Indys. The 1965 HD & the 1966 HR Holdens could accept 7s & 8s with a small amount of panel beating & these 2 models were where most 13" Indys showed up. Flaring was illegal in most states here but that didn't stop us. In 1974 Holden released a high performance version of the LH Torana SLR 5000 called the L34. The 5000 stood for the 5.0L engine & the gearbox code was also M21 which was GM for close ratio. However our Torana M21 was a locally produced box where your Camaros & our 1969 Monaros had the aluminium case close ratio Muncie box. These L34 Toranas came standard with trimmed out wheel arches & bolt on fibreglass wheel arch flares among many other improvements suited to racing. The American Racing big offset wheels would bolt straight onto the L34. A standard '74 Torana even with V8 power or the 4 banger or a 6 cylinder all came standard with little 13" wheels. Holden dealers sold the flare kits, so we ended up with droves of L34 lookalikes & quite a few ended up with 13" US Indys & when they dried up, Ansen churned out the replicas but not in 13X8. A proper L34 came standard with 14"X7" Pontiac style "Sports Wheels". These cars had high performance donks & the right gearing to run taller tyres so 15X7s &15X8 Indys did show up exactly the same as the ones on "Bobby's Camaro" but they're extremely rare here in Aust. Most Toranas with flares here wound up with locally produced Aunger Hotwire wheels in varying sizes, usually 14X8s. Custom shops made flares for earlier Toranas. Mine was a 1970 fitted with replica L34 flares. Without the flares, my US RACERS would have protruded at leas 4 inches outside of the standard bodywork. My customised 1970 Torana with it's wild L34 bolt on flares was the only one in existance fitted with the bigger 8" US RACERS we ever saw. I had a torquey engine, a low ratio diff & the biggest 13" rubber known to man. Flimsy little Torana body eventually twisted up. Doors wouldn't close & bonnet sat proud on one side & we dismantled it. I still have my fabulous old US RACERS though! I have plans for them. Thanks for your great little presentation. I was born a car nut, saw the movie here in Aust in 1975 & never, ever forgot that stunningly beautiful Camaro! I always figured she'd be a more affordable at the time '67 with genuine racing improvements. That's why I'm here now. You just proved my theory. To be quite honest, I'm not a huge fan of American cars. We had fabulous locally made high performance cars here & I've always been happy with them. But, that CAMARO really is sensational & if I had the money, I'd gladly build a replica... Gorgeous car! If you type: Bathurst 1975 into the YT task bar, you'll see a swarm of race prepped L34 Toranas with their factory bolt on flares in action.
@@johnbrooks9523I appreciate your passion for that design of wheel , (I love them ) and cool cars in general, but , NO , Ansen made the original 5 slots called the "Sprint" mag ,they were first made in the early sixties by Ansen engineering in Southern California, designed by Louis Senter , who was in business with Jack Andrews, the name " ANSEN " is an amalgam of "Andrews " and "Senter" . Louis Senter was flat out for a long time producing this extremely popular new wheel , and made a fortune out of them . The grey area is that he seemingly didn't patent the design , because a lot of other manufacturers copied it later on , including "Aunger wheels " in Australia . The "American Racing " , ( part owned by Parnelli Jones) versions ,which later included , or became ? , " US Wheels" was a copy , along with other brands such as Fenton , Western Wheel ,Cragar , just to name a few. Louis Senter ( ANSEN) was the first.
@@johnbrooks9523You've got a rich history there, and I go along with your liking of the 5 slot mag wheels. But, absolutely, "ANSEN" were the first with this design, the original was called the "SPRINT" mag . It was designed by Louis Senter in the early 1960's , and was manufactured by " ANSEN engineering in Los Angeles, who also manufactured V8 performance parts , such as intake manifolds , pistons and con rods etc. The name Ansen is an amalgam of Andrews ( his business partner) and Senter , An _ Sen . Louis Senter ended up being the sole owner of Ansen , and made a fortune from making this extremely popular wheel .The gray area for me is that it seems that he didn't patent the design, or more likely sold the rights for the design to other manufacturers, such as Fenton, Western Wheel , Cragar , American Racing , US Wheels , just to name a few , and, in Australia and New Zealand there was the Aunger, and Cheviot "Triden " wheels. Parnelli Jones bought into American Racing and US Wheels which no doubt had a further influence on the popularity of the 5 Slot wheel. ANSEN was first , all the other brands were the copies.
Traco the same peeps that built the motors for Penskie and Mark Donahue's Camaro which dominated the Trans Am circuit back innthe 60s . I have a complete camel hump cyliinder heads w the factory bigger valves , crank , pistons , water pump etc original Z/28 motor , BUT from a 70s Z so its the 350 not the 302 but still awsome , in my parts stash only missing the orig Z intake manifold BUT i do have a 70s Street Tarantula as well as another single plane bigger runners higher performance manifold . Looks like its time to freshen up the beast and drop it in something.
knowing that at least puts on it the list of possibles. not a big fan of romance/dramas and the title just throws that out. at the very least i'll look for the car scenes on here. thanks for the follow up info. @@powerwagon3731
Well aloha to you carstarz for surprising me with this hard core 68 camaro form the movie 'Aloha Bobby and Rose' as this is not the typical style for camaro as most are likely going for drag racing that road racing so very few were bulit to canyon corner is rare choice back then just like movie 68 (also been a real race car is some serious street cred to boot) with today's hot rod going for more all around style in building theses days i can say this movie was a head of the curve my friend anyway its nice to know that 68 camaro is still around but thanks for the video and have great day bye now. P.S Hey CarStarz i have one more thing to say is that i am camaro fanatic it was nice to know more of 68 movie car as i knew a little bit form looking at imcdb site but did not believe most of there postings so this clears up my doubts on the 68 anyway i got to go see ya later😊.
There were alot of those cars featured in popular hotroding magazine before they were in the movies. Hollywood knights had a whole bunch of cars in the movie that were in there magazine 😊😊
What's not to love?! Hope Figari shows it at MCACN one day. It was featured in a early seventies issue of 1001 Custom and Rod Ideas published by Argus, home of Popular Hot Rodding and Project X from "Hollywood Knights"!
I love your videos!!! Please do one on the movie "my science project" red pontiac gto with a blower !!! Would love to know where it is if still around and how many were built. I own 3 movie/TV cars and the gto is one of the coolest cars ever in a movie and no one talks about it !! Please do a video or let me know any info you or anyone else might have on that car! Thank you!
My 1st Camaro I bought was in 1974, a 1968 Z/28 while in college. British green w/white stripes, and blk interior. A friend of mine is the current owner. Of course I’ve seen the movie.
Thanks for the great video mate, I was just wonderingif you could please tel me what the song was called playing in the background of this video. And for a future episode could you please cover the Cranberry Red 70 Chevelle from Jack Reacher? Thanks.
You're welcome, I get most of my BG songs from a paid site called EpidemicSound, you can start a free trial and check it out here if you want... share.epidemicsound.com/erjnqj This one was called "Sad and Lonely Road", the (Instrumental Version); you have to search for it on the site in the music section after starting a trial. Yep, that Chevelle is indeed already on my long list to look into. Thanks
I know it can be down to budget but it always makes me nervous when you say it was the only car made for the movie with no back up cars, thats so risky.
Indeed, that was one of my early ones, so not as polished as more recent ones and it has a low volume issue on some devices, but here you go... ua-cam.com/video/aWl4AWJ9LHs/v-deo.html
@@CarStarz42 Absolutely. I love vintage movies, especially car related films and my personal ride is my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a 512 cubic inch stroker motor, backed by a 4 speed manual. 👍
1st car a 67 rs was done up very very similar loved it...late 80s era Anyone know who sold those flares back then? Were they thumpr, L88 style or? Wish good yr would remake tires like some of their older lines in 50 series radials. Nobody makes one these days
Lol, believe it or not; that one is actually already on my list to look into as that is one of my favorite shows that I have watched through a ridiculous amount of times 😁
The real car that the one in the movie was based on was a stolen bright yellow almost stock 1968 with a 396 and a four speed. Floyd Mutrux was a regular at my parties back in the day and was familiar with my adventures running from the police for the fun of it. One chase covered three states and part of Mexico. And I wasn't shot, my girlfriend was. But the screenplay is a better story. And our cruising spot was 2nd St in El Cajon but the movie used Van Nuys Blvd a much more scenic location with lots more cruisers than we had.
Scene on VN blvd was a blast grew up there. We had st racing 3-4 nights a week no gangs takeovers guns nothing .Just car guys cruising, having fun. Miss having 1/4 mi tracks to go to, all gone now cause funs illegal in Ca
Dan McLoughlin the builder of that carwas a very famous Portia Racer and he built lots of really cool racing body kits for road racing I used to deal with them personally back in the 80s and 90s he passed away the great loss and he always turned out great quality stuff and record time His company was AIR
Thank you for your quick reply, I dont suppose that you could research or contact Rick Figari the owner of the Camaro to see if there is a Paint code anywhere on the car?@@CarStarz42
Sorry, as much as I love Camaros; I do don't cover movies that are CGI heavy like that series as it just kills all interest in it for me. That series should have stayed cartoon IMHO.
Thanks, I'll add My Bloody Valentine to my list to look into; but here's one I already did on the first Phantasm 'Cuda though... ua-cam.com/video/28DcOIC77c8/v-deo.html&t I'll be doing more Horror/Thriller type titles as we ease into the Halloween season over the next couple months.
So here's what I want to know: The Camaro was in a magazine in I think 1975 and it was red by then. Think it was before the movie. But we see it get painted black. So did they paint it black, film those scenes, and paint it red for the rest before they sold it? Or did they film with it red first, then black, then red _again_
@@JRC99 Well, it was built by Dan McLaughlin's group initially, but then sold to the studio years after; so they could do whatever they wanted to it, then was sold again after the movie and traded hands a few times before ending up with the current long time owner Rick Figari.
@@CarStarz42 Ah, see, I wasn't quite sure if it was _sold_ to the studio or just lended to them. That helps clear it up! It must have had magazine coverage _right_ before then too, because it was in Popular Hot Rodding in 1975 (Might have been '74) I think and there was zero mention of the movie. Car didn't have the black hood or tail panel blackout either if I remember right.
That 302 didn't have a DZ code if it was a 67 block. Dz was big crank journal blocks cast 68 and 69. A 67 302 still had small journals and was a one year engine technically. They probably gave that car a Dz block and kept the small journal 302 for the money races cause it can spin higher rpm with less weight and friction on the crankshaft. Oh and those 302s where extremely hard to blow up. A new 69 z28 was trying to get a brand new 70 L-T1 dealer engine installed by warranty. 7800 rpm in 2nd gear all dam day in fresno california. Had to just buy the create L-T1 cause they guy could not blow it up
@@gordocarbo it wasn't the LT1. The guy was trying to blow up a 302 for a new LT1. And the 302 was not giving up. They had 6 quart oilpans which saved the rod bearings at that high of an rpm and don't forget the famous blue striped Z28 valve springs!
Watching this movie right now and this car is its only redeeming quality
Indeed, it steals the show for sure!
This movie was pretty 1970s depressing. That car was sweet though.
I remember watching this movie back in when it came out. Thank you so much for doing this on this car.
You're very welcome and glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Love Paul Le Mat , love these movies.

I remember this Camero from the issue of Car Craft. The whole issue dealt with road racer styled cars which was definitely my cup of tea. Great work as usual, Boss! 👍
Indeed, I LOVE these style of cars too; was pretty much Pro-touring before Pro-touring, but even cooler and better! 🙂👍
Thank you thank you thank you for doing an episode on this iconic Camaro!!
My pleasure 🙂👍

True, but that's awesome that you have a real 69 Z/28 though!
Grew up in the valley used to be a handful of classic car dealers in town and Ventura Blvd.
I've been watching your channel since it started, and you finally covered a car I've never heard of. Looking forward to watching this now, thanks!
Cool, glad to hear that.
I was a sophomore in high school when this movie came out, I saw it in the theaters and the best thing about the movie was or still is the soundtrack.
Absolutely!
This Camaro is definitely one of my favs. So glad that I found your channel.

it's a good film!
Movie is ok, but the car is definitely the best thing in it.
I'm not much of a cooper fan, but might eventually. Thanks
Thanks for the great video mate,
I was just wonderingif you could please tel me what the song was called playing in the background of this video.
And for a future episode could you please cover the Cranberry Red 70 Chevelle from Jack Reacher?
Thanks.
You're welcome, I get most of my BG songs from a paid site called EpidemicSound, you can start a free trial and check it out here if you want...

This one was called "Sad and Lonely Road", the (Instrumental Version); you have to search for it on the site in the music section after starting a trial.
Yep, that Chevelle is indeed already on my long list to look into. Thanks
@@CarStarz42
Thanks again
Went to see aloha Bobby rose my favorite kickass movie two lane black top
😉👍
Fukin sweet 67
Indeed 😉👍
I know it can be down to budget but it always makes me nervous when you say it was the only car made for the movie with no back up cars, thats so risky.
Indeed a gamble for sure; so many things could happen, especially when letting an actor drive it! They got super lucky with this one!
Have you done Kowalski's '70 Challenger from 'Vanishing Point'?
Indeed, that was one of my early ones, so not as polished as more recent ones and it has a low volume issue on some devices, but here you go... ua-cam.com/video/aWl4AWJ9LHs/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for posting this!
You're most welcome 😉👍
Love the show! Plz do the coyote from hardcastle and McCormick
Yep, that will most likely be my next TV series video 😉
Cool car, but never heard of the movie before.
I would guess Orange County International raceway
You are correct sir! Guess I forgot to mention that in the video, lol.
Super cool feature! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@CarStarz42 Absolutely. I love vintage movies, especially car related films and my personal ride is my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a 512 cubic inch stroker motor, backed by a 4 speed manual. 👍
@@glengabruch4664 Dang!; bet that thing hauls A$$ Awesomeness😁👍
@@CarStarz42 It pulls like a neon rear ended by a Mack truck. Especially with the 4 speed. Think Hellcat power, but 1000 to 1300 pounds lighter. 🤯
@@glengabruch4664 I bet! 💪😁👍
The only reason i went to watch this movie was because of the car.
Indeed, probably the main reason for most 😉
Nice thanks 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Welcome 👍
I seen this car in san Francisco years ago
Cool! 👍
1st car a 67 rs was done up very very similar loved it...late 80s era
Anyone know who sold those flares back then? Were they thumpr, L88 style or?
Wish good yr would remake tires like some of their older lines in 50 series radials.
Nobody makes one these days
Nice 😉👍
Do Al Bundy’s Dodge! 😆
Lol, believe it or not; that one is actually already on my list to look into as that is one of my favorite shows that I have watched through a ridiculous amount of times 😁
@@CarStarz42 awesome😎
The real car that the one in the movie was based on was a stolen bright yellow almost stock 1968 with a 396 and a four speed. Floyd Mutrux was a regular at my parties back in the day and was familiar with my adventures running from the police for the fun of it. One chase covered three states and part of Mexico. And I wasn't shot, my girlfriend was. But the screenplay is a better story. And our cruising spot was 2nd St in El Cajon but the movie used Van Nuys Blvd a much more scenic location with lots more cruisers than we had.
Scene on VN blvd was a blast grew up there. We had st racing 3-4 nights a week no gangs takeovers guns nothing .Just car guys cruising, having fun.
Miss having 1/4 mi tracks to go to, all gone now cause funs illegal in Ca
I like your videos. Can you do one on Mabel the Cameo Ron Howard drove in Eat My Dust.
Yeah, that Camaro is already on my list to look into as well. Thanks.
Dan McLoughlin the builder of that carwas a very famous Portia Racer and he built lots of really cool racing body kits for road racing I used to deal with them personally back in the 80s and 90s he passed away the great loss and he always turned out great quality stuff and record time His company was AIR
Indeed friend.
Any Idea what the colour Code/ paint number is of the RED used on the Camaro? Thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.
Not sure, but was most likely a custom shade of bright red.
Thank you for your quick reply, I dont suppose that you could research or contact Rick Figari the owner of the Camaro to see if there is a Paint code anywhere on the car?@@CarStarz42
Out of curiosity..have you covered the 64 malibu from Repo Man?
That movie is on my list to look into eventually as I've only seen parts of it. Thanks
@@CarStarz42 sweet! Your welcome 😀
Can you do a video on the Chevelle from the movie Faster
That one is already on my list to look into eventually. Thanks
I've never heard of this movie or car. Awesome car, tho. "
Most on here seem not to have, it's an "ok" movie, but the car steals the show for sure! 😉👍
I have a list of Hollywood Vehicles of where are they today. I know one that you can, might be a challenge. The Cadillac from 1979 film The Warriors.
I'll add that one to my long list to look into. Thanks.
please do top 10 facts about the 1977 z28 bumblebee camaro in 2007 transformers 😢
Sorry, as much as I love Camaros; I do don't cover movies that are CGI heavy like that series as it just kills all interest in it for me. That series should have stayed cartoon IMHO.
What about the Phantasm Cudas or the My Bloody Valentine Camaro? Nice cool channel.
Thanks, I'll add My Bloody Valentine to my list to look into; but here's one I already did on the first Phantasm 'Cuda though... ua-cam.com/video/28DcOIC77c8/v-deo.html&t
I'll be doing more Horror/Thriller type titles as we ease into the Halloween season over the next couple months.
Read my mind!! I was in love with that Cuda as a kid. What a badazz looking car
So here's what I want to know: The Camaro was in a magazine in I think 1975 and it was red by then. Think it was before the movie. But we see it get painted black. So did they paint it black, film those scenes, and paint it red for the rest before they sold it? Or did they film with it red first, then black, then red _again_
Not sure in what order, but movie cars do get repainted often; so not surprising 😉
@@CarStarz42 Right, but I was under the impression it was someone's personal build before the movie
@@JRC99 Well, it was built by Dan McLaughlin's group initially, but then sold to the studio years after; so they could do whatever they wanted to it, then was sold again after the movie and traded hands a few times before ending up with the current long time owner Rick Figari.
@@CarStarz42 Ah, see, I wasn't quite sure if it was _sold_ to the studio or just lended to them. That helps clear it up! It must have had magazine coverage _right_ before then too, because it was in Popular Hot Rodding in 1975 (Might have been '74) I think and there was zero mention of the movie. Car didn't have the black hood or tail panel blackout either if I remember right.
That 302 didn't have a DZ code if it was a 67 block. Dz was big crank journal blocks cast 68 and 69. A 67 302 still had small journals and was a one year engine technically. They probably gave that car a Dz block and kept the small journal 302 for the money races cause it can spin higher rpm with less weight and friction on the crankshaft. Oh and those 302s where extremely hard to blow up. A new 69 z28 was trying to get a brand new 70 L-T1 dealer engine installed by warranty. 7800 rpm in 2nd gear all dam day in fresno california. Had to just buy the create L-T1 cause they guy could not blow it up
😉👍
LT1s never did 7800 unless someone built the daylights out of it .
The stock valvesprings werent the best back then and failed here/there
@@gordocarbo it wasn't the LT1. The guy was trying to blow up a 302 for a new LT1. And the 302 was not giving up. They had 6 quart oilpans which saved the rod bearings at that high of an rpm and don't forget the famous blue striped Z28 valve springs!
Eagle rock california i live in eagle rock va👍.
😁👍
👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍
Never even heard of this movie.
Many haven't, but the car and Paul Le Mat makes it worth watching at least 😉👍
You’ve been sleeping under a rock or are too young.
