Awesome! I saw this long ago when I was a kid and had almost forgotten it!

RIP Liz. Butterfield 8 is a full-on campfest, though, and that is the campiest movie car crash ever. And it looks like they jumped the car then dropped it straight down from a crane.

This.

You really need to post the one where they do the '69 AMX. He describes it as a "one way ticket to jollyland", informs us the car is so different to the old Ramblers that "swingers must have infiltrated AMC" and comes out with "Ring the bell, Quasimodo!" when it records the best 0-60 time.

WTG, Mitsu. Way to kill off the ONE FREAKIN PRODUCT you make that anyone buys!!!!

Kelly had a notchback Ghia, not a base fastback.

"See the yellow pages for your Triumph dealer???"

@FastForward: The Dinky model is actually an FF - that's the one with four-wheel-drive, a longer front end and waaaaaay more engineering complexity!

The Alfa Carabo. Also, technically the title of this article should be What Car Would You Pick Raquel Welch Up In IN 1970.

If the car is as good as it looks, and the engine original, then NP, but as an ex-owner, there are 2 or 3 things you NEED to check on these before buying one that you can't tell from pics on the net. (They're great cars, BTW, and amazingly very reliable!)

Matchbox/Hot Wheels are 1/64 scale, not 1/24, although models in any scale are great!

These are actually seriously nice cars and this is a great example - not least because it has leather seats instead of the vile beige and orange furry cloth ones that a lot of 130 Coupes seem to have, and hasn't rusted to the point where you can sweep the entire car into a little paper bag - but that price is WAY out.…

@whitehatspecial: Yep - and the Pinto was looking pretty beat-up by the end. There's a scene where Tanya Roberts pulls up in the last season, throws open the door and you can see there's no door trim on the inside.

There's also Crash! (1977), the Charles Band movie, not the Cronenberg one. The world's only occult-horror-car-crash movie, it starred Sue Lyon (who played Lolita in 1963) as a woman who buys a little statue at a California swapmeet that turns out to be Akaza, the Hittite god of Vengeance. (Yes, I know). Anyhoo,…

@Buster Brew: Also, the vehicle that goes over the cliff is not the LaSalle, it's a Humber. If you watch closely, you can see that the front is different - it doesn't have separate headlights for one thing.

@Baskingshark: OK, so apparently I can only share one vid at a time, so here's the second one. This one's worse... (you want to pause it at 1:51 for the full effect)

OK, so: on Charlie's Angels, Kelly had a 1977 Ford Mustang II Ghia in beige with a tan landau roof because, hell yeah, it was the seventies. And she must have really liked it because it got blown up TWICE and she replaced it with identical cars both times. Oddly, the Pinto used by Sabrina, Tiffany and Julie never…

1. If you are offered a Fiat 128 Spider as referenced in the article, run as fast as you can in the other direction because there is no such thing. It is in fact a Fiat 128 Sedan where the roof has either rusted away or fallen off.

This.

@Baskingshark: K, let's see if that second pic will load now...
