Vanishing Point Cruise Day 3: Lakewood, Colorado to Moab, Utah

Editor-in-Chief

Day three for Rich was all about driving Buzz’s 1970 Hemi Challenger. He literally could not stop raving about that car. Not to take anything away from the new Challenger, but you just can’t beat that old school Hemi rumble. Toward the end of the day, they happened upon an abandoned bulldozer in Cisco, Utah, and just had to take this shot. Full story and more pics at Automotive Traveler.

actually the actual car pictured sitting,wrecked at the end is a 69 camaro, study the pics carefully. a very surreal movie. I had a 70 challenger, unstriped like the movie car, definitely a fun piece of that era. i always thought the movie car was a 440 magnum, look closely at the hood emblems

I have been really enjoying following this feature. I remember all too well when the original Vanishing Point was released. I have to say I was really surprised not too long ago when they made a remake of the movie, the only difference was in the remake the movie actually had a plot.

Back in the day, there were lots of rumors and wife’s tales about this movie. The one that stands out the most in my mind (hey it’s been almost 30 years) was the one that said that if you watch real close during the crash scene when the car hit the bulldozer you can see the hood was from a Camaro. Of course we all know that’s not true.
