Warren Oates's role as GTO in Two Lane Blacktop is pure gold.

And Cleavon Little as Super Soul in Vanishing Point, with his radio station

located in the lobby of the Goldfield Hotel is killer.

Great era, great movies.

If we get to assume the character with the car...I'd go with Milner.

Mustang. Was a Ford guy earlier in life and ordered a 67 Mustang convert prior to my Army discharge. Dad picked me up at the airport and informed me the car was in at the dealership. Drove it home in uniform with the top down.

The TLB car sold at BJ for $160k a few yrs., ago. I knew the previous owner that found and restored it back to TLB config with the help of Richard Ruth that built the original cars. One was used in American Graffiti. He built 3 of them. I think one was destroyed in TLB filming and the other two cobbled together for AG.

A friend built EXACT replicas of Milner's '32 and Falfa's '55. They were sweet.

I spotted the original AG '32 in an episode of Emergency. A guy has a website devoted to the car and all the details. The '55 also made an appearance in Adam-12.

TLB and AG made me want a '55 2dr. post more than anything. So, I would have to go with a '55.

another guy has a website about building an exact replica of the VP Challenger.

And now since we appear to be going with any movie car, I'll have to say Eleanor from the Gone in 60 Seconds remake.

During the 1970s, car delivery driver Kowalski delivers hot rods in record time but always runs into trouble with the highway cops.

Movie trailer 2 minutes long.
