Classic car movie with Laurie Bird, James Taylor, Dennis Wilson + Sam Peckinpah regular, Warren Oates
Harry Dean Stanton has a cameo as a hitchhiker

There were 3 x '55 Chevrolets built for the film at least one of which later appeared in American Graffiti, and rumour has it, also in Oliver Stones film, "The Doors"

Nothing whatever to do with Rovers, just a cool film...

Ages since I've seen it (and don't have time now), but does the Bruce Springsteen song "Racing in the streets" relate to it at all?

Great film. Shot on the hoof with mostly ad-libbed dialogue.

I got two lane black top last christmas to boost up my collection of road movies , nice motors , but a bit mind numbing ! Any one remember what the film was starring a dodge charger ( in yellow ) , a driver , and his machanic mate , making money by fair means or foul , driving across the USA . Finishes up with the charger going under a freight train ?

Hi, if you like American road/chase films try Vanishing Point or the original Gone in 60 seconds.

I still like California Kid, but the sound track is dire.

I have both the Vanishing Point films.

The 1996 one is all cleaned up to remove any association with drugs.

Love both of them though, and also Dirty mary Crazy Larry mentioned above
