Age discrimination or Just keeping secretes?

I have been coming around these parts for around a decade and can

Cherry Hill, eh ? Wasn't that Joe Frazier and Bert Cooper's home town ?

Harry Hamlin and Dennis Hopper.

The Corvette sure looks ragged.

The movie was released in 1981.

I think the Speedster is a replica. I thought I caught a glimpse of a hibachi rear grille and it looks like it has 914 gauges.

I like the way the flares were done on it.

Chris, that flic has been mentioned on here several times in the past and was even the feature movie at one of our SoCal SOC Movie Nites at Robert 'Bobsled' Brown's crib. Filmed on the infamous Muholland Drive in the mountains above Malibu Beach and one of our usual cruise routes for the SoCal SOC knuckleheads. Fun flick to watch with a bunch of SOCers!

I'm looking at that video tape right now, it's on top of the TV. Would anyone like to "borrow" it, maybe look at it or make a copy and pass it along to the next interested party? Lemme know, OK?

Except for the musical sub-plot, one of Hamlin's buddies is a song writer who get's played by another buddy who deals his songs to a producer, blah, blah, blah, it's an OK movie with few good car scenes and an insane performance by Dennis Hopper. But when ISN'T his performance insane?

Explanation why the speedster had a Sun tach screwed to the dash-pad in addition to the 914 tach in the "usual" place?

uhhhhhhh..........................

Because it's "cool"?

... no, no that's not it...

redundancy??

Given the quality of gauges nowadays, I'm with Bill.

It is odd that this movie isn't listed on the "Sightings" tab.

It is in the sightings tab. King of the Mountain..

No other cars in the opposite direction for what seems like many miles, until finally, a union road crew and a couple of bicyclists pedaling uphill at 2:00am...is that what CA was really like in the early 80's?

OK, a coupla thoughts;

Dave: Joe Frazier came from my town, Beaufort, SC. His mom and a bunch of relatives till live here, and there's an HGTV-based town called Habersham that's just off of Joe Frazier Boulevard. I think he now lives in Philly, but he gets back here once in a while and usually there's a big to-do when he's here. He's not coming this fall, so we've got the Lt. Dan Band instead.

Stan: On the tach, the 356 tach only went up to 6,000 rpm, so people ran big-ass Sun tachs up on the dash (usually in VW sedans, not so much in Speedsters) because the Sun Super Tach could display up to either 8K or 10K......So, if you were crusin Mulholland Drive looking for Vettes to crush and you shifted at 7,500 or higher, I guess you needed the Sun Super.

Still, Dennis Hopper always played, well, Dennis Hopper........

Not sure if this "sighting" has been posted somewhere already. But here it is. I don't get the upload directions (my fault not Theron's) so here's just the link. Sorry.
