Green Dash Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I actually thought the DM would've survived that. At least the '65 Biscayne, Bel Air, Impala didn't receive a scratch.They could've left the Jimi Hendrix soundtrack on there. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joes mack Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 that truck was totaled before the movie people bought it. i know the guy that they bought it from it used to be a tandem with a 21foot coal bed when it was wrecked the first time. they put another junk cab he had on it and welded the frame up. the movie people put alot of money in it to just destroy it but like i said before it had been tatoled before the movie folks got it. i dont know where they got the trailer though.

Green Dash Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've been a fan of most 60's and 70's music for as long as it's existed.I feel I was cheated by the music world because of the crap that made it to the airwaves when I was between the ages of 18 and 28.Lionel Ritchie was king of the Grammy's back then. It was disgusting. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time I was still jammin to Deep Purple's "Made in Japan", Boston's debut album, Rush's "2112", Dire Straits, The Eagles, Kiss "Alive", America, and other decent music like that.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

JumperAndSon Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure that isn't a Detroit falling through the air over the cliff, so they probably just used the sound from an 8v71 or 92, like in Convoy. This movie looks alot like Duel for sure. I'd like to get it on DVD and watch it sometime. Convoy is by far my favorite movie hands-down.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom listens to BOB.FM so I hear to this stuff all the time. My dad and I watch The Cool TV (a local channel) and they play all kinds of videos like this (not so many Macks though)I'm the kid that sings Johnny Cash, Journey, Taylor Swift, Nickelback, CW Mccall, Vanilla Ice, George Strait, The Stray Cats, Black Eyed Peas, The Beatles, Alan Jackson, Elvis Presley, Colt Ford, or anything like that.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E9V8 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure that isn't a Detroit falling through the air over the cliff I viewed it full-screen / frame-by-frame and it's definitely a Mack 6 cylinder. Not sure exactly what Mack 6 cylinder though...... almost looks like a "237" to me. Quote TerryJulian, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprizingly, I've actually met a bunch of kids like that. I guess it's all in having an open mind. No matter what, I have a 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limosine, among other antiques, so I'm automaticly cool.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
