    I bought a 70 challenger because of this movies message. I then got 3 more and restored them. Drove them for years. Made my own history. Vanishing Point cant be beat.

I even bought (still have) the vinyl "LP" of the movie. I'm thinking about putting the image of the vinyl cover on a canvas for the living room wall.

    I love this movie and Barry Newman was perfect in it. I saw it in July 1973. I had ridden my bicycle alone from NYC to Iowa, hitch hiked to Denver where I stayed at a fleabag YMCA with 5 other beds in the room. I saw this movie in Denver and then caught a ride from Denver to San Francisco, the same route that the hero of the movie Kowalski was supposed to take. Once I finally got to California I spent 6 weeks in what was then the best state in the country. This movie will always remind of that amazing summer.

    I was a 15 years old when this was released and it connected with something in my brain and I had this desire to someday drive on an empty desert road as fast as I possibly could. About ten years later I am driving cross-country in a 1977 Chevrolet Nova (that had no air conditioning) from Connecticut to California and somewhere in the Mojave I find this two lane road that on the map looks like it'll eventually connect up to 29 Palms, so I take it. I got all the windows down, I've got the heat turned all the way up to draw heat off of the engine, I've got my foot all the way down to the floor. I am flying through the desert. The only car I saw was a Porsche going the other way, doing the same thing as I was. Miles and miles into the drive, the paved road suddenly disappeared and turned into dirt. My car gets lost in a huge cloud of dust that fills up my interior I was smart enough not to slam on the brakes but to just ease off the accelerator. I come to a stop and get out of my car and start jumping around in joy by myself, all alone in the desert. I couldn't be happier. That was well over 40 years ago and remains one of my favorite memories.

      Much like what happened to those who watched Easy Rider for the first time, two years before Vanishing Point hit the silver screen.
      Great times, great movies, both discussing - On The Road - the meaning of freedom, like they were some kind of heirs of Kerouac's novel, wich I belive, they are.
      Peace from Brazil. ✌

    The 440 magnum was a better street engine than the Hemi. The Hemi always fouled the spark plugs out. I am not saying the Hemi wasn't King Kong. But the 440 was a great engine. My best friend's brother had a 1970 Cuda'. 440 six pack. Dark green, Black vinyl top, N-50's on aluminum slotted mags. Pistol grip shifter with 3.55 gears out back. Also had dual exhausts with glass pack's. Throw you back in the seat and keep you there for the quarter mile. Man, I miss those days! Shawn

      @@shawnbeck2303 3.91s were a good gear for something light, and in a small block car, like a warmed over 340 in a 68 dart. But, as we all know, the great equalizer in a street race, was driver ability to control traction out-of the hole. 3.91s were on that ragged edge. I never had a set, but bet they would be fun. And when Sunoco 260 (102 octane, out-ta the ground) was 60 cents a gallon, who cared about mileage? And 2.73s usually were one leggers. (yuk) Only good for Bonneville salt flats.

      @Shawn Beck Hey man, I love Muscle Cars but I live in Spain, here the gas it´s so expensive, all taxes. The only classic Muscle Cars you can have here (whitout ruin yourself) are Small-Block powered like 289-302 Ford, 327 -350 GM or 318-340 Mopar, always ponys like Mustang, Camaro or Challenger. Anyway I have a ´72 Riviera 455 with 400hp and I´m so happy, It barely eat if you compare with another Big-Block, Buick engines are really fantastic. The 1968 Charger it´s one of my dream cars, I had a 1966 383 few years ago but I want the 1968 model. If I buy a 426 HEMI or a 440 Six-Pack I will ruin myself, I know the 440 engine ´cause I had a 1971 RoadRunner Six-Pack and didn´t used it for the gas problem. So, if I buy a 1968 Charger, the best option for me will buy one with 318 engine, right???
