that was actually a 72 galaxie 500 Burt Reynolds drove in that movie.if you remember,they did a in car shot of him sitting in it,but he was actually sitting in a Mach 1 with 4 speed,and later in the show you can see Burt shoving the galaxie into park.

Thanks for correcting me. I haven't seen the movie in many years but I also recall that the car sounded like a 4 spd but clearly wasn't....no lurching and both hands seen on the wheel when the car made the sound of shifting....unless Burt was shifting the car with a different appendage.

No, it was probably the obligatory Bimbo in the front seat
doing the, a-hem, shifting.....

Almost forgot, not american muscle, but cool car movie, Mad Max

Loved the old starsky and hutch tv show, car was an automatic, but in any chase scene it turned into a standard!

The dirty Larry thing was " Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry" with Peter Fonda and some blonde bimbo from Australia. A very similar story line to "Return to Macon County" with Don Johnson and Nick Nolte (probably one of the first movies each one of them made)featured a 57 Chevy with some stupid toggle switch that behaved like nitrous, it is one of the cooler 57's that have been in the movies though.
