vanishing point cars

[sprecks]

The cars at the museum are on loan. Floyd Garrett doesn't own them. Ted Stephens owns them.
Just search for Stephens Performance if you want to talk to the owner. They have a website.

That would explain the attitude of Floyd Garrett.   When we went last year the guy must have been having a really bad day.   I told my wife after leaving the place, I enjoyed seeing all the Mopars but I hate that I gave that guy a few bucks by going through the display".   He was rude and after I asked him a question about a car in the display, he turned around and started yelling at one of the guys working the gift shop area.   Completely different attitude from when I have been to any other car display.

I'm still trying to figure out why they used a pic of a 71 Challenger in the movie poster for the original movie.

actually that is the 2 nd poster,

the movie didnt do to well on its first release ,but did well in europe,

i think cupid productions bought the film and re-released it with the poster you have

,and that was in 1971 the new model year and dodge wanted to market the new model of the car,does that make sense?

it does to me

there is more chat in this thread

At least one of the original cars was green, in one of the shots you can see the car scratched and the color showing through. They painted all the cars white, there were 3 440 4bbl manuals and one 383 auto, the auto was used as a camera car for most of the outside shots and to tow the Camaro into the dozers at the end.   
It was reported that a hooker drove off with the auto at the end of the movie and they found it in the next town.

The film was released half way through the 1971 model year. Chrysler only loan cars to promote their products. If they needed one to photograph for the promotion material it would have been a new 71 model.
