Notice the dual exhausts the 74's always seem to have in the movies and on TV? I remember seeing these from time to time at the Pick and Pull near Burbank Airport in the late 80s, always having the 401 removed. I remember a maroon one that looked like it had been jumped in a film as the whole front end was bent upward. The 401 was gone in it. Was that part of a wooden ramp flying over the tan car? Haha.... -- Last edit: 2012-01-08 08:29:02
