Remake I assume.

When that movie was being made in the 80’s I stayed with my sister in Valencia California for awhile job hunting after I got out of the Corps.

I remarked one day that they are building a new gas station, in a day or so I noticed it was a facade. That night they filmed the scene where the gas station blew up. A picture in the paper. They did it late at night.

Used to film Dukes of Hazzard in those hills around there.

Edit: Grammar correction!

Re: The FORD Lounge

It's a music video made for one of the songs from the Christine soundtrack. John Carpenter is driving Christine.

Re: The FORD Lounge

Here's a pretty cool video for those of us with newer Fords who are still able to buy Motorcraft replacement parts. But this info really goes for just about every manufacturer on the market.

Having run a repair shop many years ago, even then we were seeing fake parts, some were obvious, like Motorcare vs Motorcraft, Automotive vs Autolite etc. That being said I had a line of parts in plain boxes, that were excellent quality, but unless I knew you real well, you wouldn't see them. The best was a carb kit for the Ford 2100 carbs, cost me $2.50, came in a plastic bag with an instruction sheet, no box. An Autolite CT-499D was about $9.00 list, Carter 902-857D I believe or Guaranteed 77-857D (same kit, different source) was probably $7.50. Since I guaranteed repair work, most customers didn't care what I used as long as I stood behind the work. If you were a good friend, I would sell you one of those kits over the counter for $5.00.

These were excellent knock offs, I could open all 4 different kits and lay the parts out on the counter and challenge you to find the difference. I carried AC-Delco and AC plugs for GM , Champion plugs for Chrysler, AMC and Studebaker and Autolite for Ford I had Autolite tune up parts for Ford, Chrysler I had Echlin tune-up parts as Chrysler's aftermarket support was pretty bad in the late 60s.

Apparently Youtube Productions is remaking Christine sometime soon.
Some guy shot video of my truck for 2 hours a couple weekends ago.
I doubt they will use it, a couple too many messed up body panels, but I made gas money for the week

I was entertaining family this weekend and a Ford crew was in town. I snapped this pic in a rush but there were about 10 trucks and a really nice flareside bully.

The guys asking if they can buy my truck but theyre lowballing a bit so we'll see what happens. Im really not sure what theyre looking for but they like the tone of the dual exhaust and 460. Seems like they know more about movies than trucks so who knows.

I'd assume the YouTube production guys who are remaking Christine and shot hours of video of Sam's truck.

Jim,
Lil'Red is a '87 F250 HD, 4.10's, 1356 4x4, Zf-5, 3G, PMGR, Saginaw PS, desmogged with a Holley 80508 and Performer intake.
Too much other stuff to mention.

That makes more sense than my assumption.

Re: The FORD Lounge

Yes, the youtube people offered. The ford guys would know better than to want this rust bucket. 😉

Sorry for the confusion

Talent. I slowed to basically a crawl at a stop sign before making my right hand turn in a public parking lot, but since there were no other vehicles anywhere near the intersection, I didn't let my wheels completely stop and the officer who saw my "California stop" wasn't happy with that. I picked up a piece of paper with "Failure to Observe Right of Way" written on it and a $160 tax payment to the government. One of those things where a warning probably would have sufficed but laws are laws and I'm not gonna argue since I didn't technically stop. I'm gonna have to be more careful because FL only allows you to take the driving course to remove points five times in your lifetime and this will be #2 for me.

I was really thinking he would call for backup because he noticed my empty shell casings hanging from the rear view mirror and asked me if I had any weapons, guns, or ammo in the truck to which I replied no. He let it go at that thankfully. I didn't have anything on me so I had nothing to worry about, but I would have been late for work.
