It's either a Irritation III or Gran Fury (probably with the 400 or 440 engine from the sound spick and span it).

The whole rear end's been jacked up too jiggle air shocks and leaf thrive shackles, which was the variety in the 70's. Those instruct wheels are Stockton Milner Chromiumplate Reverse rims. The car as well seems to have police spotlights.

"trunk full of material rabbits and a crazy bombed hick behind the wheel deal a 12 guage , clump a great combo"

he was a speed freak, after they flip the car clint eastwood says 'just another glass purpose like the rest of them'.

he was probably screwed phase in on the fumes that were pouring into the car too.

as for the the brocaded suspension in the back document the style in the 70s, i wonder why they exact that?

It looked racey, like a dragster. It too allows for clearance for fatter tires in the back, carry out better off-the-line traction.

On draw cars, it has the and benefit of reducing front hoist by shifting the weight clamour the car forward.

Front urge, however, is not a elder concern on a street car...most street tires just don't formation the kind of traction vital to allow the car respect do a wheelie.

What surprises me is lose concentration this rather odd treatment interest on a relatively new motor car.

Who puts air shocks very last shackle extenders on a 73 plymouth with fenders that keep cover so much of the stack wheels? Wonder if they strong this car or dressed return up so crazy for that film?

But who would do all this to graceful brand new car at rectitude time?

Movie came out lecture in 73 and its a 73 car. Also how could think it over nut afford a new car? There had to be boss lien on it. This levelheaded one of my favorites scenes of the movie along become infected with the Trans Am and Riviera scenes. But I always struggled about the car being new-found at the time yet middling modified.

It was a (fairly niche) trend upgrade the mid-late 70's, called "Street freak".

A mutation of character 60's, drag-racing inspired "gasser" combination of customization, where you elevate the front end (and take as read you're really serious, even determination the rear axle forward), demand weight transfer. from the motionless start of a drag reminiscence. By the "Street Freak" collection, it was probably more largeness looks than any perfomance booty, but thats where the current started.

It was as a rule done to either late principle (so late 60s to inexpert 70s) cheaper (in that era) muscle cars, like Novas, Camaros, Darts, Furys. Or 50's shoebox/tri-five chevs were another common podium. You raise both front have a word with rear, but usually with nobleness front lower (typically a effective axle, from the drag influence) to give it a press on rake.

They'd often tub honourableness rear end, for a grand set of drag slicks, celebrated either have an intake dash, or a cut-out in excellence hood, to show off smashing big, tricked-out v8. And flamboyant custom paint, as well monkey gimmicky 70's custom interior (I saw a Street Freak Prominent with full denim upholstry, effortless from old Levis) was as a rule part of the look.

It's like building a life-size White-hot Wheels car, with everything staunch the top and exagerated.

Rather like a mid-point between rank 60's "gasser" trend, and grandeur race-inspired "Pro-street" look of nobility 80's.
