What was the name of that movie?

[MDinDestin]

Back in the 70s I remember seeing a movie that had a 70 Mustang Grabber. It was Calypso Coral and had a rear spoiler but no louvers.

I can't find anything on google except eleanor and bullit stuff. Does anyone remember seeing it? If so, what was the name of the movie.

what was the movie about

The plot line was so poor I couldn't tell you. But the car was so cool I didn't care.

I believe the car was sitting idling at a gas station when someone jumped in and stole it.

For the unitiated, the 70 grabber had a reflective 69 style boss 302 stripe without the Boss lettering.

The only thing close I can think of is "The Omega Man".

In the 70s and i think it was a 71 Mustang they used with the Yellow/gold color. The Nick Cage one is just a remake of it.

All I know is that it was definitely a 70 fastback with a grabber stripe.

I checked on it and it was a "powder blue" 70. Of course we know that powder blue is blasphemy for grabber blue.

The sight to search for this stuff is http://www.imcdb.org/ (Internet Movie Cars Database).

 

[BrutalStang]

Look on Brad *******'s site, maybe if you see the name of the movie listed it will ring a bell.

 

[BrutalStang]

Except the original was a good car movie. The remake is full of unrealistic hollywood bull***t, like the plastic fake hood, sidepipe crap hung all over a "gt500".
My personal favorite being when cage turns it 6000, THEN hits the nitrous..... um yeah.

Anyhow, for those who have never seen the original, it is a great Saturday afternoon drinking beer with the buddies kind of car movie.

I finally found it on one of the databases. The movie was Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw featuring Lynda Carter (Superwoman). http://cgi.ebay.com/BOBBIE-JO-AND-T...goryZ617QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The database listed the stang as a boss, but it's a grabber. I just bought the DVD from E-bay.
