- Before Dazed and Confused, there was American Graffiti! The 1973 film American Graffiti brought the essence of car cruising culture from the 1950's to life on the big screen for all to enjoy! American Graffiti has a ton of great classic cars to drool over, but the one that stands out like the sun in the sky is John Milner's custom bright yellow 1932 Ford V8 hot rod! John's supped up hot rod is the long standing fastest and undefeated most bad ass ride of the town and valley and he aims to keep that title!
This is a compilation of the best of John's beastly 1932 Ford hot rod!

I saw this movie as a kid and loved it. I always liked cars, but, my parents had nothing cool or fast. At a family reunion in the mid '70's one of my much older cousins, a Vietnam vet, showed up with a '67 Pontiac GTO. He noticed me walking around it admiring it and he said, 'want a ride in it ? Of course I said yes. The car sounded great and I knew I was in something special, when he stepped on the gas and rowed through the gears with authority my destiny as a hot rodder was sealed.
I am 82 years old now but when I was 17 I had a 5 window coupe just like this one. I bought it with money I saved from delivering newspapers. I had two uncles that ran automotive shops that helped me build it into a nice little rod. Mine was painted the old Phillips 66 tan with orange wheels like on the Phillips 66 sign back in those days. The wheels had chrome rings and baby moon hub caps. It had 9.20 X16 tires on the rear with bobbed fenders and motorcycle tires on the front. The first two engines we built for it were modified Ford flat heads and later we found a 1950 Oldsmobile rocket engine in a demolished car that was in a junk yard. My uncle made an adaptor plate and we put that engine in my coupe. The engine was modified slightly with a different camshaft and three carburetors ( Speed parts were very limited in those days except for Ford V/8's and Chevy and GMC six cylinders). I thought I had a real runner until Chevrolet came out with their V/8 in 1955. A guy from another shop, that one of my uncles knew, put a 1956 Chevrolet Corvette engine in a 1938 Chevy coupe and dusted me good. What fun, those were the days and I will never forget them.!!! I still have pictures of that old car and wouldn't part with them for anything.
Great comment Sir...I loved reading it.
Great memories!
Great cars great memories and crazy accidents when we were growing up near china lake. After the navy I bought a single vent porsha coupe as seen in this movie scene….fond times.
I'm 70 years old love that story brings back memories many many memories, I had a 63 split Window coupe Corvette 327, Divorce got it. Thanks again Thanks again✌🏁
Great Story. Check us out sometime. ua-cam.com/users/THEBEASTfentonhotrodvideos
My dad was a teenager in the mid to late 50s... What a great time it must have been. The cars were cool,income was good,cheap gas. Times were(seemingly) soooo much easier than when I was a teenager in the 90s.
Better than now couldn’t have been Now we got 100k trucks for sale at 8 percent and Brandon’s in office 🙄🙄
I watch this movie once a month. One of my all time favorites. The cast, the cars and the music. What a night!
OMG. ME TOO. Love It.
Isn't that 1958 Chevrolet beautiful?
Amen!
"Okay, Toad. We'll take 'em all..." with the sun rising over the car and cold enough to see his breath. Gives me chills.
gregwddriver Absolutely one of the best ending scenes of any movie ever. Incredible moment.
This movie was magic.
#Legendary Movie
"John" played by Paul La Mat. I made him a kayak way back when, and one for his buddy Anthony Zerbe ... good old days in Santa Barbara. Still here after all these years! I'm still kayaking.
This is the movie that brought hot rods and car cruising back.
Nobody can beat John Milner man !
D H “I ain’t nobody, dork” haha
Two of the greatest movie races of all time American Graffiti and The Hollywood Knights
Hollywood Knights.. thank you. That movie is never on TV..
Loved that Cobra!❤
I don't mean to sound rude, but to me Hollywood Knights is just a poor man's American Grafitti.
Robert M. Trolinder the cobra in that movie was actually owned by the asians he raced. It was a original cobra an that was the only way the owner would allow the car to be raced in the movie. They did not want anyone else racing it
I'm more of a two lane blacktop guy, but I have all 3 movies on DVD, watch them from time to time.
The Pharaohs' car was awesome.
@zero2a100 Wow did not know that 😳
The image the Pharaoh's car projects is great, chopped Mercs rule. But this was a very quickly done movie car. It is a very poor chop, roof should flow to the deck lid, no link. But I loved the car for the same reason. It looked bad at night.
That is very interesting!
I grew up in Santa Rosa...in 1962 we were living the life depicted in the movie...cruising 4th street and street racing...and picking up a few speeding tickets..LOL
The only ride I kept over the years is a 56 Chevy utility sedan used by Pacific for 10 years and bought at auction by the shop that seviced...tried to purchase it in 1966 without success...found it at a neighbors in Sebastopol and talked him into selling it....immediately got pulled over with red light and siren...officer asked I was doing in "his" car. Turns out he worked at the shop that bought it in 66 and installed a 283"....said it should be his. I laughed and said..."well it's not"
I'm Still cruising in Las Vegas at 75 years young...LOL
The headers on my ride were built by my friend who built the headers for the 32....lots of fond memories....
Love the 32 deuce coupe beautiful car love the film Paul le mat "milner' great actor if only
One of my favorites
The sixties was the greatest time, so glad it was my time.
Such a great movie and its sequel was pretty hot too. Toad came into his character there. Excellent porpcorn on a weekend double feature. Highly recommended! My favorite car of the whole movie? The 1958 tri tail light chevrolet. What a beautiful design. And I am not a chevrolet lover either!
The 58 was such an underrated car. I believe that it was the first year for the 348 engine and it was debuted in the Ranchero and Impala. The sound was so different...
My uncles got a Blown Big Block 5 Window yellow coupe. He was at a car show in the 80’s where Paul LeMat, Mackenzie Philips, and Ron Howard were signing autographs.
My uncle went up to paul asking “how much would I have to pay you to pose with my car?”
Paul replied “what car?”
My uncle pointed to his coupe
And Paul said FREE! Excitedly and they had like a little mini photoshoot.
He’s got the best photo autographed and framed in his garage
Miss the Wolfman on the radio and cruising
johns 32 ford had him all the way
@Danny But if that's true, then why did he tell Toad: "He was beating me man"? 😊
Exactly! I've watched that race 100's of times literally. And Milner had him from the start and when Falfa lost it look how far Milner was in front of him.
@@magikp6636 Harrison Ford sure has been in a lot of accidents in his life, both on the screen and off.
@@oldiesgeek454 I NEVER understood that! I have watched this race 100's of times literally. And Milner had him from the very start. And when Falfa lost it and crashed, look how far ahead of him Milner was. That line made NO sense to me. Unless Milner was jus lookin to get buttered up? But that seems outta character for him. Again, that line NEVER made sense to me. Watch the race over and over again you'll see what I mean. Milner had it from the start!
@@magikp6636 I think if you read between the lines Milner was growing tired of everyone coming after him and trying to beat him. Heavy Is the crown!
Yep I own that movie 👍
My late father who was a teenager back in the early 60s told me there were quite a few guys like Toad that owned and built cars like Milner's. He said it tended to be the nerdier types that ate, slept and breathed hot rods and engines, while guys like Milner either were jocks or rode motorcycles.
Not true... the nerds drove $50 clunkers... or parents' cars... or walked...
You expecting some action ..yea some punks looking for me ....what a great line ...
American graffiti is a true classic !
The most beautiful car ever bar none wolfman Jack was great
One of the best got my DVD copy meet two of the main cast and now probably watch the movie again got both 1 and 2
The original "The Fast and the Furious" seemed to have been influenced by this film?
1. PaulWalker drives over the starting line = The Toad driving early before the red traffic light changes
2. Paul Walker asking the driver next to him the price of his car and the driver giving a sassy reply: "More than you can afford...Ferrari." = Terry the Toad asking the driver next to him what he has under the hood, "More than you can handle."
Our car club was invited to see this movie for free
We just parked our cars out front and walked in. After the movie our cars drew quite a crowd.
That car lives up the street right here in San Francisco.
Get a picture. !!!!!
Not positive it's a '32 as well but be worth checking out Martin Sheen's ride in "The California Kid"
Vic Morrow plays cop running a speed trap on twisty road and runs Sheen's brother off a cliff.
De Kalifornia Kid rides into town to even the score.
The California Kid is a '34
@@toche207 But watch the scene in "California Kid" when the sheriff asks to see the motor.......It was the Graffiti coupes motor. Chevy 283 with a Man-A-Fre 4 deuce rochester 2G, 2 barrel carbs. Both films from Universal, where the Graffiti coupe was stored for a while.
Big John Milner
1:17 that’s a beautiful sound
also at 1:05
Milner got shot playing Fortnight last week. RIP
Wrecked by drunk driver
Best movie to see at The Drive-In with your woman, in the backseat of course!!!
Not me! Every time my girlfriend & I got in the back seat, we never watched any movies! If we wanted to see a movie, we went to the theater, not the drive in! LMAO
Remember fogging up all the windows?
funny thing the 32 Ford was bought as a fully fendered Hot Rod then beffed up and painted Yellow for the movie.
Now I got to buy a "32" on beer budget
Luke saw the potential of Star Trek and made many. And Indy with the Chevy Chase guy. Milner could have done at least 3?
Did they not think everybody would notice the rims were different than the original ones in the beginning of the movie the rims at the end of the movie were fake that just threw the movie off a bit they should of kept the chrome ones all the way into the end
John miller ! The fastest car in the vallly
I would so love to have that car three Deuces baby probably a 327 big Power
No, it has 4 deuces on a "Man-a-fre" intake.
So perfectly captures this era in America, Damn I miss those days!!!!
The days when being a teenager could be cool.
I feel sorry for the cell phone kids.
Well said all of y’all! Aw man what A good time to grow up.
Still reliving it at car cruise nights...
What happened to America??? Simpler times.
P.c correctness!!
After the heroin and the Vietnam war America changed
The Democrats
@Farmer George sad times eh brother, need the "way back machine" to go back to '62. Maybe save Kennedy things would be different??
Greed. Thats what happened.
This was my Dad’s era. He graduated in 62’, wore the white t-shirt and blue jeans with the flat top haircut. He raced a souped up 50’ Mercury and won more than he lost. Dad passed away from Alzheimer’s this past August.
Thanks for sharing a memory, tough hearing about your Dad.
@@richardthompson6366 Thank you Richard. It was a year ago yesterday that Dad passed and he has been heavily on my mind. Appreciate it!
condolences to you & your family
@@angelonikitaras2977 Thank you!
He graduated in 62 feet and had a 50 foot Mercury?
My favorite part of that movie when he removes the header plugs. Miller's attitude and the sound of his car symbolizes all business no more messing around. Loved that scene since I was a little kid.
I SKIPPED SCHOOL TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE:)
Sounds so damned good as he backs out of the garage!!!
Hell yeah that was the best!!
Sixteen in 73. The best times.
Ray Baker
What '57? Bob Falfa was in a '55.
I saw this movie in 1973... I was 11...today I’m still a car guy and proud of it..building ..tinkering..cruising..thanks to that 55 Chevy and the 32 coupe and those open headers.
Same age as myself, my father always bought his new cars with the biggest engine offered. My mother was a lead foot as well which all of my brothers and sisters inherited. Hot cars were always in our driveway. I have kept the tradition alive.
That film has had more influence on my direction in life than 10 years of school and collage. After seeing it, who doesn't want to be John Milner.
Exactly!
Can't be 17 forever 😉
You did collage for 10 years? Must be a masterpiece..

I guess all hot rodders and muscle cars heads all have a little jon milner in them somewhere, yes i have my dads old 69 chevelle so im a milner too
Saw this movie in the summer of '73, I was 13....changed my life.
I just turned 13 today
I'm 13 now
@@iwishsm Happy Birthday... miles o smiles to YaAll
@@RaysLaughsAndLyrics thanks
I was 15.
Know what you mean.
My all-time favorite movie!!!! Makes me wish it was still like that today!!!!!!
Yep, that movie paralleled my life... right down to the unknown blonde in the sportscar I'd pass going the other way daily on my way to work... and again on way home... in 1960's-70's... I driving my '65 GTO convertible... which I should have kept...
Man you ain’t kidding..what’s happened
@@ratbastard1811 Get that stick outta your ass,you'll probably feel better! LMAO
@Farmer George 1965 NOVA II checking in!
@Farmer George I miss my 65, I was almost killed in it haha
American Graffiti filmed in Petaluma California the drag race was an old Adobe Road outside of Petaluma 116. I live in Sonoma County I grew up in Sonoma County I was living there when they filmed American Graffiti but I lived in Windsor friends of mine cars were in that movie. And I also seen Paulie class and a bag of that Pinto I was driving truck one that got passed me I could see from the street light in the back and I also seen where he buried her that night I was coming out from a lumber mill right across the road from there then I lived in Ukiah and he came into his truck stop try to get in shower. At that time my wife was here working as cashier he was trying to hitchhike going north for they caught him Redwood Valley. American Graffiti but it's and I've seen while growing up there I've seen filming combat Westside Road few miles from where I lived yes cursive Healdsburg California. And for about 4 days I work for Raymond Burr I don't Dry Creek Road in Healdsburg. These are just a few am I American Graffiti.. one more thing doing construction work in Pasadena California. In the motel really small please we woke up to him two people hammering loud noises the the room below us they were filming the scene from The Incredible Hulk and I shook hands with Bill Bixby the Hulk was not there not seen it was cold Magic and they left their screenplay on top of our diesel truck tires. This is my husband my story people I've met Wolfman Jack live on keep the tires rolling and the music rocking. Sincerely chief
Most underrated film of all time. Wish Lucas would revisit this time of his life one more time.
Best Lucas film!
That movie was just like my life back then...
Great movie,great times ! It never gets old once you live it !
Love this movie, I watched it many times and never get bored of it. Young actors at the time and now famous familiar faces in the movie business. Love them all.
American Graffiti became an American Muscle Car fan's cult classic, and inspired a lot of street racing. Thumb up for this clip.
The racing was long before the movie... in fact, the movie was the tail end of it... the drive-in restaurants with car hop girls had all closed where we sat and talked cars to everybody...
The street racing was about over by the time this movie came out. It was more mid-60s to the very early 70s. The movie was supposed to be set in 1964. Back then boulevard cruising was still a big deal. I was in Orange County in the mid 60s and we picked up most the racing at Oscars in Santa Ana and the big races were out by the Sugar Beat plant.
Street racing and cruising lasted way beyond the 60's or 70's, just maybe not in California....
I cruised Lansdale and Pottstown Pa. in the 80’s in my 70 Six Pack 4-speed Charger R/T.
@Duca I'd have called it the dawn of the muscle car era. While some people debate the first muscle car a 58 impala with a solid lifter, 3 deuce 409 is if anything on the cusp of things to come.
Maybe instead of calling American Graffiti an American Muscle car fan's cult classic they cloud have just said American gear head or something more general but the original comment is still valid.
The 55 Chevy was all so in two lane black top
Yep, same engine, was a big block Chev, that’s why they never showed it in American Graffitt, because was set in 1962 before the big block
Also in an episode of Adam 12
Still my Favorite car movie ever, last race scene on old Frates rd Petaluma Ca. drove it everyday, great memories!!
Is that Paradise road in the movie? My alltime favorite movie.
@@allanr6132 Indeed
@@chutoparadinni5474 ...my long time screen name came from that famous line in the movie...
did you ever drive it thinking you were one of the two cars?
@@allanr6132 The movie is supposed to take place in Modesto CA, where G. Lucas grew up. I actually drive on Paradise on my way to work every day and I think of this scene. Granted its not the actual scene in the movie, but it is the one in his head when he was growing up!
1:18 got goosebumps when it was backing out...music to my ears.
I saw Paul Le Mat signing autographs at a car show around 2010. It was July, 150°out, and he's sitting at a table 50' from the nearest shade, all by himself. I felt so bad for the guy. Most of the people there had no idea who he was, and probably thought a homeless guy had stumbled into the fairgrounds. He looked like he'd had a very rough life, or at least a VERY rough night before, and appeared to be absolutely miserable. I don't blame him. That image comes to mind every time I'm reminded of American Graffiti.
my best friend Jim could have been "Milners" twin brother, both are gear heads, Jim passed several year ago, but everytime is see American Grafitti I think of Jim
THE " coming of Age Masterpiece" for MY generation : The Baby-boomers! -----------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
The best movie George Lucas ever made by a long way...and I love Star Wars...
Sandra Worden I was his first movie
I Agree with this being the Best Movie he ever made.This Great Movie based on Real Life.Star Wars just futuristic fantasy. American Graffiti,Real Cars,Really Cool Music and real life..
love this movie my favorite movie of all time kan watch it over and over again
Milner’s Got the bitchinest car in the valley!
Like milner said "i hate that surfing shit" haha! Anyway, one of the best movies ive seen!
Need make more movies like this
@@richardpatchin6454 yes! The major key to making such a great movie is to have the right poeple for the job!
I was nine years old when "Surfin Safari" was a hit. I hated it at the time. Couldn't stand Mike Love's nasal voice. But in time I became a fanatic Beach Boys fan and I now love "Surfin Safari".
Before you die you must hear their song "Lonely Sea".
True, great line. Also, when he told MacKenzie Phillips to file the traffic ticket under "C. S."
@@oldiesgeek454 American Grafitti is my all time favorite movie hands down.
I don't care what the people say. Rock and roll is here to stay.
I liked when Harrison Ford said “ I ain’t nobody DORK!”
I ain't nobody. Right? Dork..
@@TheFalcondan95705 I found it funny when the girl in the car with Harrison Ford said: "Ain't he neat"? 😊
THE DRIVER OF THE '55 LOOKS LIKE HE'D BE COMFORTABLE PILOTING THE 'MILLENIUM FALCON'
I wouldn't worry, he has a few tricks up his sleeve
But he wrecked the thing at the end of the flick. If he handled the Falcon like he did the '55 he would have been smeared all over that asteroid field. (No caps lock needed)
Rock & roll has been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died.
Baddest fucking line in the movie!
Buddy & the others were killed in '59. In reality, look at all the great songs that came afterwards!
When I was a kid my dad must have drove me to the movie theater a dozen times. I just wanted to see the car's. I was about 13 now I'm 60 and I still love it. Classic!!!
Very cool era....now look at what people are celebrating, talking, and worrying about daily? I don''t think there were any Dems back then....
I love when he backs out of Garage and goes to the gas pump's. Wish the gas station was a Sunoco station and puts in 280 from the pump. The people will know what I am talking about if they lived then. Eythl gas was King! SHAWN
just remember. somebody is always faster than you!
Still my Favorite car movie ever, last race scene on old Frates rd Petaluma Ca. drove it everyday, great memories!!
Me too, loved that stretch, nothing next to it.
Met Paul. Candy and Bo....... been some yrs ago. As many times as I've seen this movie was pretty damn neat seeing them in person. All super down to earth.....good stuff
I'd love to meet Bo Hopkins... Love those southern good 'ol boys.
Candy is so Hot! Always was and Always will be! She's Great in both movies. She's my Favorite. Well after Milner's car of course.
Candy Clark got scarfed in that phone booth by the blob.
I had the opportunity to talk to Paul Lemat once.
Nice guy.
Heard an interview with Guitarist Jeff Beck recently, he saw the movie when it was still in the theaters, got completely obsessed with old ford hot rods,( still is)actually contacted Lucas and tried to get that coupe. Lucas decided to sell it to someone else. Beck made his own anyway.
Jeff Beck loves tinkering with cars.
Johns ‘32 didn’t fail him. 💨
One of the best films for that era, A great cast. Brings back a whole lot of memories.
This film always seemed underrated to me... Would you agree?
Grew up in both the towns they filmed American Graffiti in
San Rafael and Petaluma California
Even owned two 55 chevy’s
Those were some good times, makes me wish I could do them over again.
Those were great years to be young. I wouldn’t want to be a teen today, but if I would love to go back in time and relive those days again.
When this movie came out in the theater's, l knew l had found myself. I wanted to be a "Monkey Wrenching Gear Head Greaser ".
I loved Oldies from the 50's & 60's. When l got my first job and first pay check l went and bought me my first home stereo record player and my very first record album "American Graffiti ". I felt so proud that l had earned my new record player working for Standard Oil Company. Known as Chevron now. Back then we would provide full service to our customers. Fill gas , clean windows & mirrors, check tire pressure, and check radiator & engine oil. Those were the day's of customer service. My boss was nice enough to let us work on our rides when buisness was slow. We'd get the car's ready for cruising the strip on Friday & Saturday nights. Those were simpler times and very memorable. Love this movie and the cast ( except for one of the "Pharrows"- - the ugly tall one chewing gum that wanted to drag Kurt around with a car) 😎
The Merc's at that time, even today are a popular good looking car.
Currently in Walmart waiting at the registers for the lovely wife to finish her shopping, watching this video and straight up getting goose bumps listening to those two cars roar. Damn, George Lucas and whoever was in charge of sound design nailed those scenes. This movie was lightning in a bottle and it was Hollywood when it was at it's best. At the same time, the studio had no faith in this film and even muddled with it, which shows what they knew. GL would undo their edits later on.
the original hybrid John milner’s 32 ford with a Chevy v8
Fuck Chevy. Junk
"Hey, you know a guy around here with a piss yellow deuce coupe, supposed to be hot stuff?"
Oh you mean John Millner? Ain't nobody can beat him, He's got the.....I ain't nobody dork, so you see this Millner you tell em I'm looking for em right? Tell em I aim to blow his ass right off the road....

It was Puke Yellow! Not Piss Yellow! SHAWN
@@1royalluke Poor Toad, he never got any respect. 😉
@@oldiesgeek454 I know very well what that's all about.
Special thanks to Rick Figari who allowed me access to this car in May 1995 in San Rafael car show.
Got to be in the car watching the movie projected on the side of the building.
Never forget it.
This is MAGA !!
In the movie do they ever say how many cubic inch the 32 coup had in it
At .60 over bore the 283 comes out like 301 ci
I know in the movie they used a 327 but the 327 didn't come out until 1962...
The 348 came out in 1958
And the 409 came out in 1962
Good q's. I 'm with you, it musta have been a 301 even with major over bore. Them times, probably unlikely so huge. In real life? 348 over .030 and everything else seems real. What do you think?
U
Went to the winter national. 426 hemi got spanked 3 times by a sbc..
@@RivetGardener my guess is some early hemi out of a DeSoto or something. Maybe a y block. It would have to be something that was to be found relatively cheap, something with the power to be the fastest in the valley for a few years.
I saw a yellow '32 5 window Tribute car at Cruising Grand!!!! IT MADE MY DAY!!!! Maybe I should build one!!!!
I saw one at a Cruise In that looked better than the original,the interior did for sure.Would Love to have had that Beautiful Coupe.
Hey when that one guy says “hey why do they even bother,you’ve been number one as long as I remember” but isn’t he just 18 thought 🤣🤣🤣
I guess 2years is a longtime in the movie world!🤣🤣🤣
The fastest in the valley
And we weren't even in a valley...
Milner might have been the fastest in the valley, but Falfa had the fastest in the galaxy
George Lucas and Harrison Ford's best movie!
I Agree The Best One I can remember.
Never gets old. I saw it as a kid now own the DVD - it definitely contributed to my hot rod love including my current 57.
I saw this car at a car show in Denver during the mid 1980s. Up close it's pretty rough.
Who ever thought that after painting a 32 Coupe Piss Yellow. Would be immortalized.
He gets killed drunk driver kills him dead after he races his rail New Year's.
In the movie, More American Graffiti. Loved the chick Millner was gettin it on with, think she was from Iceland or something. She liked him to. Bet she was broken hearted when Milner got nailed by the drunk driver.
Ya funny as hell !
Fantastic movie...I really miss those times!!
I'd like a poster of 2:10 !!
Possibly best movie ever.
I've got a poster of Milner standing next to the car. There were 5,000 printed up for an auto parts store chain in Virginia. Got it at an antique shop about 25 years ago. I also have the Johnny Lightning dioramas from this movie. You can see them on my channel.
Besides American Grafitti part 2!
A beautiful car ....... Seen this movie at the drive in theater when it was released
Absolitely the very, very BEST! LOVED IT! Loved this movie, good old days gone forever though.
Just like the 80's. Gone forever.
As is our youth.
No they ain't if anything the cars today are badder and faster. And we're still racing. Some things will never change.
@@dannymeintrup3300 The Cars are definitely faster but you can't beat the cool looking cars back then.
@@dannymeintrup3300 Naw, all ya gotta do is figure out how to burn out one of their computer chips in these new ones, and the race is yours, you've WON! Rather have the cars from then, then these computer driven cars of today.
Great movie. Every time I watch it, makes me wish I grew up in the 50's and 60's..
Same here!!!
Except for all the asbestos
@@guysumpthin2974 lol! 😊
I did grow up in the 60s+70s alot simpler time,a fun time to grow up,no damn computers or protesters and pandemic.
@@markallen6818 Lol! I agree with some of what you said but did you ever hear of the Vietnam war protests and the civil rights movement?
And now they're going to try and make us all drive electric cars....eyes rolling.
I bought a 55 Delray 210 that looked just like the one Richard Ruth built for this movie except I had no hood scoop. but a perfect job radiusing the rear wheel wells. it was built for 1/4 mile bracket racing and I bought it from a fella that did not appreciate the car like me.(cheap for 1977). most of the parts were stolen while I was away in the Army. just a body shell and frame on blocks.
'32 Fords and '55 Chevys are the (2) most modified automobile years - period. Great match-up. Piss Yellow and Jet Black. "Power Shift here we Gooooooooooooo!!!
My favorite movie :) Thanks for the clip
John was wrong about one thing...Falfa never had him.
You can have all the power in the world, but if you can't handle it, you'll still lose in the end.
