Charles Bronson is driving quite insanely in his 69 Camaro. None of us today would even come close to driving our bone stock Camaro in this manner.
Anyone notice anything out of place here. First one to figure it out wins.

1967 or 68 interior

The ignition key is installed in the dash...

And no Camaro script on fenders, no bow tie in the grill.

Right, that's not 69 interior. Good luck for the driver seeing out of the rear view mirror. :)

Yes, neither Charles or Jill fastened their seat belts! :D

All of the above and both their door glass alternates being up and down in different shots. Also you never see a passenger (the girl) in the high speed shots.

Something else that jumped out at me from that clip:
I'd never seen that movie before, but I was sorta shocked at the 'lack of acting talent' displayed by Jill Ireland.. :) I've always loved watching Charles Bronson in his movies, and since Jill is his wife, she's also in most of them... but the acting in that clip was very 'immature'.. :)
Maybe Jill was scared.. :)

The 68 dash
-
Very strange interior with no headrests and the ignition in the dash.................... And WHAT held those hubcaps on?!!!!!
-
I cannot believe you amateurs. Not one person here noticed the incorrect screws in the door sill plate. You could clearly see the lack of an "X" on the head when Chuck opened the door. Wow, how did you guys miss something so obvious?
Also, this movie was made in 1970, so this car was still relatively new. But as someone pointed out, the emblems were removed and already patched over. And I am hoping they used two Camaros for this movie, one for the exterior view showing a 69 and one for the interior view of a 67-68. I doubt they had a 69 with a 68 interior....or did they. Anyway, the continuity guy should be fired. Sacrilege I tell you to mix these two iconic cars up. And yes, I agree, there is no way in hell those hubcaps were not welded to the wheel. And that final "stop", you know damn well the lower valance was crushed.
And with dangerous driving like that, thank god this car had four wheel ABS brakes, three point seatbelt setup, rack and pinion steering, computer controlled coil over shocks, air bags, and all that. You could never do that wtih a regular factory stock 69 Camaro and suspension. Goes to show stunt car drivers have it easy today. The guy who did the stunt driving for this movie today has three herniated discs, four missing teeth (2 from being jarred out, and two from hitting the steering wheel on the final stop), a crushed skull from flying up out of his seat and hitting the roof, and sprained wrists from having to grip and hold the hell on to the steering wheel while taking them turns.

I've got to search for that movie so I can watch the entire thing... :)

The Camaro has it easy compared to what he does to a Mustang! ;)

I am pretty sure the short youtube clip is al the highlights. you may fall asleep other wise.

Gee....I wonder if the filming must have started early enough for Chevrolet to supply an early prototype 69 Camaro without a factory completed dashboard. So they stuck a 68 dash so that the car can be featured in the film???
Welp, there's a new hidden treasure to find and restore!!! ::)

It was filmed in 1970
-
I believe that all the front shots are of a 67/8. The vinyl roof comes all the way down the windshield pillars.
-
Maybe, but they could have had a 68 for the studio shots inside the car.
-
It was filmed in 1970
Released in 1970 .. I can't find any info on when filmed.
-
Well, there are two other 69's I can see in this clip. A blue convertible he passes quickly at about 3:12 and then a silver w/bvt on the hill at about 3:22 between maybe a 65 beetle and a TR3.
-
Pretty sure the interior shots show sail panel lights, making the car used for interior shots a 1967 Camaro.
-
its funny to see a 69 Camaro on an off road driving excursion
looks like they sped up the film a little in production
