Too funny. I did a remake of that movie in 1975 with a `67 Chevelle SS which had a Vette 396 375 hp, 4 bolt main, Lunati high lift solid lifter cam, Holley 850 cfm dbl pumper dual feed carb, Hooker headers with 2" pipes and 3.5 collectors connected to glass packs, 4 spd Muncie tranny and 4.56 gears in the rear. I could chip the tires in any gear at any speed and run it in fourth at 30 mph. Got a solid FIVE mpg regardless of how I drove. I couldn't afford 98 octane (75 cents per gallon) and sold it.
Now what was I doing in `66? Ice hockey on the lake in winter, little league in spring, fishing in the summer.
