Popular Post Mackpro Posted September 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2023 That’s sad. He was a awesome songwriter. Crazy story about him stealing a Army helicopter and landing it it Johnny Cash’s back yard to deliver him a song he wrote. And Kris writing Me and Bobby McGee for his then girlfriend Janis Joplin. Going through my album collection tonight I found a original Me and Bobby McGee record by Kris, I forgot I even had it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Oh man that chick was a doll back in the day. I looked it up. Yes, that was the movie. And if I recall when he pulled up that sounded like it had a green oil dripper in it, which is fine since most of us seem to like the way they sound thanks for that.

Yes for some reason they dubbed the Sound of a Detroit in over the sound of the Mack motor under the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 They do that a lot if they are not happy with something I read they use the 55 Chevy in American graffiti for the sound effects. Burt Reynolds, Trans Am they were not happy with the car the way it sounded.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Swayze made a Remark about a Caterpillar engine....The Peterbilts used in the movie were actually 60 series Detroits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burt Reynolds, Trans Am they were not happy with the car the way it sounded.. Yep. The original T/A sound in the movie S&theB was indeed the 4-speed big-block Chevy from “2-Lane Blacktop”, which was also Harrison Ford’s car in “American Graffiti”. I noticed that a lot of the remastered versions actually sound like a T/A now. I had a couple of those cars and loved them. But they WERE a late ‘70’s “smog motor” and did not sound like the 454 sounds in the original release. Another interesting movie car was Tony Danza’s ‘57 Chevy in “Hollywood Knights”. It was the “Project X” car from Popular Hot Rodding magazine. In the scene where they are racing the Cobra, you can see a puff of smoke off the engine. They blew the transmission and hurt the motor.
