The Internet Movie Cars Database.
What is it?
This site identifies all the cars in a movie. And when I say ALLLLLL the cars, I mean even cars that are “extras.”
I watched Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead last night and I wanted to know the year car Albert Finney was driving because I think my dad had the same car.
I found this site and they listed cars that were in parking lots, or happened to be driving on the street. They weren’t just cars extremely integral to the plot.
Found it.

Book marked the site.
imfdb is a firearm movie database if you want to know about guns used in movies.

…I’ve been to the museum that the comments say that Challenger is housed in. Unfortunately, the owner passed away in ’21 and it is now permanently closed.

…too bad, it was a nice place, and full of cars of the type I cut my teeth on. I’m sure they’ll end up somewhere, but the site doesn’t say and they may not be for public display if they are sold.
You’re on the late show my friend…!
For the gun nuts.

Well there goes my afternoon. Thanks Fur!
@aircubed, I found my FN 5.7 pistol in a lot of movies, etc on that website! I have never seen another at the ranges I go to and it gets noticed by some people. 🤷🏼♀️
I just tracked down a short film made about the infamous Ducati 900SS DESMO filmed in 1976. My brother owned one of these. Awesome Italian beauty that also ran like a bat out of hell! I was poor so I could only afford the 860GT street version, also briefly shown in the last scenes.

Brad- thanks for the reminder. Vanishing Point was great.
Anyone recall Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry? Good car movie.

How about this one? The car was the star of this movie.

Jethro. There was a round case Desmo ss in my little town, sound was glorious.
Brad and Ted, if y’all like Mopar muscle you might like Graveyard Carz. New to me, found on youtube. I think there’s an episode on VP Challenger.
I bleed MOPAR. But that 68 is bad ass. I think I need it. Here’s some great info on it.

Angus – I used to watch that when I had access to cable. Mark Worman is hilarious and knows every nut and bolt on those cars.
Graveyard Carz.
I think I’ve seen Graveyard Carz. on ROKU. I’ll check it out. I really have the urge to build one more hot rod.

Here is my brother’s bike. He sold it in 2014 after it sat for over 30 years in his basement. I cleaned it up for him and got it running again. It’s currently for sale if you have the spare cash:

I took that top photo in 1986 at in Key West Florida.
Thanks Jethro I would love one but my place is full of old bike and some for sale.
Canadian bikes, grey market in the United States of America.
What do you have that is for sale, Huron?
I’d love a Ducati 900 Darmah.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry was made in my old stomping grounds East of Stockton, CA.
Brad was probably in his teens, I’m guessing.

I was 17. Wow.
Hell, that’s like a hundred fucking years ago. The only reason I know that is that I’m the same age.

No shit huh Joe. And those were the best of times. I’m saying for any generation. Well, except for disco. Fuck disco. LOL
Brad, I completed missed Disco. I was working. In fact I missed a lot due to working. Seems like the more you work the more you miss of useless shit.

I belonged to a gym full of young guys around Satrday NIGHT FEVER Fever. For entertainment we’d hand out outside Disco clubs and wait for a couple to exit. We’d scare the shit out of the guy, ask the girl if she wanted to hang out with us, explaining we guarantee her safety. You’d be shocked. I’m thinking 30% went with us. We had a great time, saw them home safely. A couple relationships were formed due to that activity. Dang those were fun times.
That sounds like fun. I was in Prudhoe. No girls coming out of clubs with wussie boys up there. In fact there were no clubs. My days off involved camping, fishing, and hanging out in drinking establishments. Not necessarily discos.
joe6pak
That sounds like the adventure of a lifetime. I’m jealous. It had to take a certain amount of courage just taking that job.
R ZED500.
Zed?
You Canadian so and so… threw me off for a minute.
What would you like for your 2 stroke Aussie…500..thingy…. that I looked up and researched and checked with JD Powers and whatnot.
