Car #70 is a 1967 Mustang not a 1969

The second "1969 Dodge Super Bee" listed is actually a 1970 Plymouth Satellite, the same car that is correctly listed as a 1970 Plymouth Satellite in another photo. It's the Don Robertson owned, Jabe Thomas driven car. I personally saw it racing several times back then. It's also an ex-Richard Petty car that Petty Enterprises sold to Robertson.

“Now, don't let your mouth go writin' checks your ass can't cash.”

Good movie.

Upgraded to HD in definite need of a remaster. Added one bizarre omission, considering there were five prior contributors.

I have no idea what's what in general, even less so in race movies, so duplicates or same sort of stuff as already listed may follow below...

Supposedly, Beck used a soundbyte from this movie on "Loser."

"bonus stuff and nonsense:"
2. Chevrolet/GMC C-Series Open Road motorhome stands out, and the 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado convertible (gold with black top) is rare
2. Less rare: 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 two-door hardtop (white) and 1969 Ford LTD four-door hardtop (beige with black top)
3. 1969 Plymouth GTX (blue, near the bus with an entire family standing on the hood) is rare
3. Less rare: 1972 Ford LTD Country Squire (brown with wood) and a 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass Station Wagon (yellow; uncommon non-Vista Cruiser version)
4. A similar-but-not-identical pickup-based motorhome, possibly also an Open Road
