Longtail ◊ 2014-07-15 17:08	Possibly a reference to Smokey and The Bandit? They got the Ford Bronco from the original Gone in 60 Seconds, so this is fully possible.
antp ◊ 2014-07-15 17:15	Maybe, but I am not sure that the Bronco is a reference to Gone in 60 sec, it is a car which existed before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parnelli_Jones Quote Jones had a special car fabricated that looked like a Bronco, but had racing parts that could withstand rigorous jarring that off-road vehicles endure. Jones named the vehicle "Big Oly" after his sponsor Olympia Beer.[3] Jones used the vehicle to lead the Mexican 1000 from start to finish in a new record time of 14 hours and 59 minutes.

I just said that this Pontiac could be a reference to SATB, just like the Bronco is a reference to GI60Secs.
antp ◊ 2014-07-15 17:37	They look different: /vehicle_677966-Ford-Bronco.html /vehicle_5774-Ford-Bronco-1971.html To me they are just both references to Parnelli Jones' car
Longtail ◊ 2014-07-15 17:50	I never said they were the same cars. My point was that the Bronco used in this movie was a nod to the Bronco used in Gone in 60 Seconds. Nevermind, this is going too off-topic.

Bowser ◊ 2014-07-28 12:38	Is it a replica?
Razor440 ◊ 2015-07-22 17:34	Bowser wrote Is it a replica? No, YearOne refurbishes and modifies them, and sells them. And YearOne was a sponsor for 2 Fast 2 Furious, on the Challenger And the Yenko Camaro. Could be another reference?
