And yes those scenes and the one where Milner pulls up to the pumps uncorked are one of my favorites.

From everything I've read, the stunt 55 had the 454 and the Race 55 had a 427 w/ alum heads..The 55 camera car was the one used in AG

American Graffiti is with out a doubt my favorite movie of all time. So many iconic scenes in that movie. Cars, blonds and Wolfman Jack!

It is probably one of the greatest Movies ever, in my opinion, and it is for everyone to see also, you dont have to be a "car guy" to enjoy it.

Two Lane Blacktop on the other hand, it probably helps to like cars.. Or 55`Shoeboxes especially.. On the end of the Movie it kind of lightens up and gets better though, but then it ends!!

And the ending is one of my favorite endings of all time, the slow-mo With El-Camino revving in the background.. And on the other hand it is a really irritating end.. HeHe..
