Peacemaker ready for takeoff!

Imagine mounting wheelie bars just to absolutely destroy them each and every run

1:55 He looks like Eddie Rabbit.

The orange AMC Gremlin at the 3:48 minute mark reminded me of my old ‘75 Gremlin that I ran Super Gas 9.90 Bracket that I owned back in the early 90s…

Tom - thanks for the shout out to my ‘67 Cougar. That was a fun car.

Man I mis Byron1 I think it was 2011, maybe 2010, not sure, the Gremlin flipped it completely over on its top from torque, about 100 feet out. The black 60 Impala was one of my favorites also, and the High and Wild chevy 2 Nova. Does Pastor Randy Hienzworth still Chaplin out there?

Merry Christmas Tom, hoping to see some more great vids next year

The reason more american graffiti wasn't as good because it contradicted the original in their whereabouts John Milner was killed in 1964 and Terry Toads Field was MIA in 1965

Awesome video Tom!

Merry Christmas to you and your family 👍🏁🇺🇸🎄

Hi from the UK. Thanks for posting this. I admit I'm not really a drag racing fan but these were something to see. Much, much better than todays top fuel monsters. Would I be right in thinking that the cars featured here back in the day, would not have been, for want of a better description, 'professionally' built and sponsored by huge modern day companies with millions of dollars to throw at them? Kind regards, Mark

An all time favorite of mine and I love the 58 Impala toad had in the film.

She needs the shorts,.n heels for that job??

The front end up looks absolutely stupid 😂 8:30 Looks late 70s ❤it looks like a regular dudes hot rod 🍻 cheers 10 second old skool 🫡

1967 Pontiac Grand Prix Hardtop production: 37,125 Convertible production: 5,856. 1967 was the only year Pontiac made a factory Grand Prix convertible.

Farm Truck and Asn! Glenn

The car named King Rat I remember in Sacramento, California back in the late 60s-early 70s was Lewis & Pierce’s bright yellow 33 Willys 5 window A/G coupe coupe with the number 007 on it. Chassis by Ron Souza, B&M clutch Flite trans, Cirsco clutch, Torque Thrust wheels, 8 injector stacks on a big block chevy. They lived on one street over from me for a while in Fair Oaks. They raced regularly at Sacramento Raceway.

BS video. No times given.

Just because you can, does not always mean you should

Ге хватает запорожца

It ain’t racing without backup girls! Gotta love em.

I remember watching American Graffiti on a small blk/ what tv back in the day . I was like this is cool all about these rot rods and then all of the relationships between the characters. It got me in to going to car shows and I found a show where celebrities come sign autographs .So I have Cindy Williams and Paul LeMat 😁 I wish could of got more put I am happy with what I have. 😄

Great info on that iconic movie!

On her TV show, Suzanne Somers related a funny story about doing this movie. She just knew she was going to make it big and here she was with a bunch of relatively unknown people, George Lucas, Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford... and she thought to herself 'what a bunch of losers'.

Not sure that’s what rudolf diesel had in mind.

I watch this wonderful movie every year on labor day. It is an end of the Summer ritual for me.

Beats the hell out of EV junk

Do any of my school mates remember scooping the loop in Brownwood,Texas in 1963 ? I wonder how many years they did this? Wonderful time for me. Carol and my sister Judy Byars .🥰. I also worked at the Dairy Maid and Dairy Queen

Ekologia po amyrykańsku,pierdoleni hipokryci.

I remember seeing one or two at car shows so that’s about it. I like the car except for the grill. The grill doesn’t belong in anything on the road except for maybe a med Max movie

Great, great film. I saw the original version when it first came out, minus the three scenes that were put back in when it was re-edited in 1978.

How does an 18 year old afford a four year old car? Did he have a job? It does not seem so.

To me, it's always been about faith. Everyone thinks Wolfman Jack is a god, but Curt finds that he is only a lonely man with a broken refrigerator. He has faith in the blonde in the T-bird, he sees her and no one else does. She is a Christ figure. Curt is saved by moving to Canada. Everyone else either never gets out of that town or they die in Viet Nam.

That black Camaro: i knew something was a bit off with the car in the burnout. Check it out...

I suppose they need to start building drag cars like demolition derby cars. 🤔

I really like Candy Clark (Debbie) - she was a dream come true for adolescents ! Best part of the movie is it's Fast from scene to scene - so well edited ! The Constant Real Pop Music was a game changer back then

Nothing new here to any true fan...just compiled common facts...

IMHO, the greatest movie ever made!!

Petalia? How about "pet-a-loom-a"

This film had a major impact on me. I remember riding around in my 55 chevy Pick up 327 Four speed, then my Wimbleton white 66 390 fairlane, wearing white t shirts with my Cigarettes rolled up in the sleave, Listening to 50/60 rock. I kind of stood out, because this was in the 80's I used to wonder if I was reincarnated or something. Lol 😏

My dad as a teenager doing car restorations in Vancouver island BC Canada during the 80's driven & worked on the exact T bird that is in American graffiti

The AI bot voice sure didn't like "Petaluma" :)

To me, old skool is the best school. I dig those drag vans. One day about 20 years ago while driving home on the freeway service drive, I stopped at a light, and beside me was a mid 60's panel van, tubbed with big drag meats, and a loud romping engine. I gave him a thumbs up, he nodded back, and then while I turned he took off at the green light. The engine noise blasted and then suddenly went completely quiet as the van disappeared like a bullet down the drive and got real small real fast. Personally, other than a tubbed and supercharged C3 Corvette I saw, probably the quickest and fastest thing I've ever seen on the street. Never seen it again before or since.

No wheelybbars very cool

That announcer has a radio DJ voice

A Military Intelligence analysts observation about American Graffiti: All of the major male players projected their personality onto Wolfman Jack, except sensible Ron Howard, who drove to the radio studio, but not really. He drove to the transmitter site, which would be unmanned.

Ron Howard did not act it was like him in real life lol. I thought he was a bad actor.
