Vanishing Point

[VFilms]

Each September the Adirondack Nationals are held in Lake George NY. I ran into this guy a couple years ago all decked out as Barry Newman, complete with the white Challenger, movie camera on the hood, mini bike on the roof and Super Soul in the passenger's seat. The car even had Colorado plates.

Wasn’t the hippy biker in the passenger seat?

I was looking all around for the naked blonde on the mini bike but no luck.

Some people watch Vanishing Point and some people live it! When I used to watch the movie on late night television, my 70 383 4 speed Challenger R/T used to get the living daylights beat out of it! I blew the clutch out of it trying to emulate those full throttle speed shifts! Those were the days!

One of my favourite car movies for sure.

I have been called Kowalski by my friends. I got the hair for the job. Lol

Pretty Cool. Dude looks like Bob from That 70's Show!

Yeah my drive home in my Challenger, after seeing the flick at an outdoor theater, was a tad faster than usual...lucky the police weren't around. Young & dumb.

Pretty fun. I'm sure he was a hit!

Interestingly, he was from Eastern Europe. Brought the car over for a year to attend shows across the country.

I saw the movie 1971 at the Sunset Drive-In. I swore I would get a Challenger. The starting point in Denver is all rebuilt with new upscale apartment buildings. (Gentrified) I'd like to do the route someday. We run Kowalski's Colorado tag on the front of Challenger full time. When we get caught it's going to be bad.

I was just reading about Hagerty's Classic Car Adventure in Colorado. This info is from previous ones.

The Hagerty Silver Summit is our 100% tarmac classic car adventure which explores the fantastic roads and sights of Colorado. This budget-minded adventure is for pre-1979 and earlier touring and sports cars (with exceptions for select newer cars on an application basis). This un-scored, non-competitive event takes place entirely within the state of Colorado, and consists of approximately 700 miles of driving over three days. The event uses easy to follow way-finding instructions which are detailed and clear. No special calculations or rally knowledge is required. Driving is planned during daylight hours, and as per all our events, the route will remain secret until entrants receive their route book at registration. We promise three days of adventure filled with great roads, great cars and great people.

The 2020 Hagerty Silver Summit will start in Littleton Colorado. The finish location is yet to be decided, but entrants can expect we will finish within a 2 or 3 hour drive from Denver.

I watched VP sometime in the mid 70's and was like many enamored with Challengers instantly. I didn't ever want a white one but I have had a pile of other Challengers in other colors. I currently have a 70 Challenger RT 440 (EFI 6 pack) AT in Hemi orange

I don’t have a Challenger. But I have a Pistol Grip 4 speed in my ‘70 V code ‘Cuda.

that's a commitment for sure...

Can't beat a 4 speed Challenger!

It's so so easy to get in trouble with this car...

 

[Skytrooper]

I have never seen the movie

 

[RemCharger]

I have never seen the movie

 

[67charger383]

Impounded! lol

 

[Hikin Mike]

I have never seen the movie

I do have a pistol grip in my 73 Cuda 416 EFI 6 pack.... I was recently thinking about converting my Challenger to a 4spd bc I have everything but the pedals, floor hump and console top.. All my other classic cars are manuals except my 68 Cuda project but I may not be keeping that one but my 71 Charger will have a TKX 5 speed and my 70 RR will have a 4spd so... that would leave the Challenger... LOL
