James Coburn, a Lamborghini Miura, and a bad movie


 below translated into Belgian



and why would the Italian version have a Ferrari Dino featured? Isn't the Lambo Italian enough? photo from http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/13060325.html

A movie mediocre it isn't on Amazon.com. You can buy a copy at http://scootermoviesshop.com/cubecart/western/the-honkers-1972-dvd/prod_7372.html but don't buy the hype in their description of the movie, instead, go with the guy that has watched them all, and isn't selling you anything http://every70smovie.blogspot.com/2011/01/honkers-1972.html

Both sites point out that 1972 was the year that 4 rodeo movies came out, Jr Bonner (Steve McQueen) probably the best, and this one is probably the worst

Finally, 2 1/2 years after posting about the filming, "Clutch the Movie" is on DVD!


from June 2009 when they got a notice in Hemmings that they were filming  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/06/independant-film-minus-movie-maker.html



for some reason, you can pre-order now, and get one of the 1969 special editions, or wait til May 2nd an get a regular copy



Inspired by classic car movies like the original GONE in 60 SECONDS, TWO LANE BLACKTOP, GRAND PRIX, BULLITT and LeMANS- Actor/ racer turned filmmaker Jay Rowlands wanted to bring gearheads around the world more of what they really want to see in the movies: Real cars. Real drivers. Real action.

CLUTCH is a full feature length dramatic action film telling the story of a struggling small town racer who finds out there are no short cuts to victory lane. Race driver Travis Engels risks his life, friends and freedom when he takes a wrong turn in his attempts to support his racing.

CLUTCH is a full throttle effort to tell a story about the truth and integrity of basic humanity while combining the elements of action, romance, comedy and human emotion. Filmed entirely in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and packed with the most popular American musclecars ever!

 CLUTCH is a tribute to the Hollywood car films of the 60′s and 70′s. The movie has been created and produced by Jay Rowlands with people who share his passion for fast cars and making movies!

The Love Bug scenes in San Francisco 1968


the last of the Victorian are buildings in San Fran I suppose, but as a horse drawn fire pumper station building it's amazing. Not a very good job at keeping the building look the same consistancy in the day and night image (it's a painting not a real building)



Buddy Hackett's car parts art from pieces of his Edsel



the first image of Herbie. Ever.


the cars in the background. Cool.


A challenge to a drag race from a hippie kid in a T bucket


Bitchin Rolls Royce


This is interesting as an example of the mid to late 60's hippe art, and the two characters below, they're in the model A, I bet there is a reason they look so damn goofy, and I believe the guy on the left side is Benny Hill


the Tijuana to Tecate race




racing in the Love Bug movie, 1968

 might be the same Shelby AC Cobra, most people may not realize they had tops. Different races and race tracks, but I wasn't trying to post them consecutively





 above the gold Vette is the same as the below gold Vette and you can see what a strange rear body section it has









Winning a race by the divide and conquer method



anyone have an idea what the green number 11 is? Why it has 2 hood scoops?




a wrong turn put them in the mines, but they kept racing
