A little write-up I did on 1970’s Carsploitation flicks, some fun movies if you haven't seen them.

Excellent write up.
Glad you included some must have's from the 70's also that sometimes get overlooked, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Two-Lane Blacktop, Vanishing Point, Gone in 60 Seconds.
Those movies helped define my love with cars.

Two Lane Blacktop is awesome

Cool, I have some of those on DVD
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
Death Race 2000
Duel
Vanishing Point

Any idea where Cannonball is on the list? That was a good one from '76 with David Carradine.

Never heard of a ford falcon xb GT before. I thought it was a modified Buick GSX when I saw the picture.

Check out 'Love the Beast'. It's a documentary about Eric Bana and his '74 Falcon XB he owned for like 25 years then restored it and took it on the Targa Tasmania Rally. You can get it on Netflix or Amazon.

Oh my. Oh my. Oh goodness me. I may have to lie down until I feel well again. My heart just skipped. You thought it was a...GSX...oh my. I feel as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Please. For all you hold dear, don't mistake a Ford for a Buick again. I feel certain a great misfortune will befall us all if it happens twice.
