Radio for California -
Keeping an eye out the window,
we have the showers -
There.
That Plymouth had a hemi
with a torque flight.
I believe we sawed the guy off,
even if we did lose 200.
- What do you need?
- High-test.
- Want me to fill it up?
- Yup.
Where's the gas tank at?
- Chevy block?
- Yeah.
Sure looks like
an awful lot of work.
396?
- 454.
- No sh*t?
- What kind of transmission?
- Four-speed.
- You build the headers?
- Yeah.
How fast will she run?
It depends on who's around.
Anything fast around here?
It's got a little bit
of transmission trouble right now though.
Probably blow our doors
right off, wouldn't it?
This is K-triple "A" radio, Kingman,
the alphabetical apex of Arizona -
#Mmm, oh, woman, oh, woman
oh, you treat me so mean #
# The meanest old woman
that I've ever seen #
#I guess if you say it's so #
#I got to pack my things and go #
# That's right, hit the road, Jack #
# Whoa, and don't you come back #
#No more, no more, no more, no more #
#Hit the road, Jack
and don't you come back no more #
- # Whoa, now #
- #Hit the road, Jack #
#And don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more #
#Hit the road, Jack
and don't you come back no more #
# Oh, yeah #
# Yeah ##
Ha ha hal
What kind of car is this anyway?
You guys aren't the Zodiac killers
or anything like that, are you?
J ust passin' through.
L.P.'s truck was worse.
Wouldn't even be up in the morning
before he wanted to smoke up a joint.
Supposed to go to the Grand Canyon...
but he kept getting stoned
and pulling off to the side of the road.
- Say, which way are we going?
- East.
That's cool.
I've never been east.
She don't seem to be
breathin' right.
Might be the jets.
# Stealin', stealin' #
# Pretty mama
don't you tell on me #
# I'm stealing back
to my same old used-to-be ##
Don't you wanna race him?
Isn't that what you guys do?
I mean, didn't a car
just come up and challenge you?
It's too heavy
to do in a Porsche just for kicks.
We'd take him in the quarter mile,
but he'd probably lose us in long time.
How much bread we got?
We got 300 racing bread,
20 to spend.
# Whoo-hah #
Excuse me, sir.
Could you spare some change?
I need to catch a bus
for San Francisco.
Thank you very much. Excuse me, sir.
I'm trying to catch a bus back to San Francisco.
- I got sick and I -
- Good luck. Good luck to you.
And the greatest
selection of flared slacks and jeans.
- Excuse me, sir.
back to San Francisco.
I got sick, and I used up the allowance
my parents gave me, and I have to get back.
I need some money
to catch the bus.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm trying to catch the bus back
to San Francisco. Can you help me out?
- You need money?
- Can you spare any change?
- I - H-He can't?
- Well, I
back to San Francisco.
- You're gonna need a lot.
- You're welcome.
- Can you wait till Monday?
There's a '70 Camaro.
A '68 Barracuda.
Nothing there.
There's a Roadrunner
with a hemi in it.
'70 'Cuda.
They got some muscle here tonight.
Hey.
Old '55.
Listen, all we gotta do is rope one.
#Surrender to the waking world #
- I think I spotted something.
It's a '32 Ford.
It's got a 427 in it.
And, uh, those are Carter carburetors.
Eleven inches of rubber on the rear.
#Moonlight drive #
#Let's swim to the moon #
#Let's climb through the tide #
- Clean machine.
It's clean enough.
Not bad for home-grown.
It's a little bit more than that, sonny.
Say, you must have somethin'
real special here.
Gee, mister,
I'll bet it's pretty quick.
You wanna find out?
Well, ordinarily, I'd jump
at the, uh, opportunity...
but the thing is, I'm just not in the habit of seeing
the Chevy work against a two-bit piece of junk.
Let's make it 50.
Make it three yards, motherf***er,
and we'll have an automobile race.
Hey, this guy just bet 300 bucks!
- Where to?
- Airport Road. You can follow me.
I'll walk to the motel.
#And I wanna see the country #
Uh, let me have, uh, a glass -
a shot of rye and a glass of beer, please.
#He's a very fine man
and I don't wanna rest #
#And as a matter of fact
there just ain't nothin'he lacks #
# You know
he's sure got me guessin'#
#So if you wanna play
well, I will stay here all day #
#And I won't even taunt you #
#So you can try and hold me down
or even push me around and be a jerk #
# Or you can do just about
any other little things you want to ##
Now I don't even know who I am anymore.
So you got a little upset,
and I backed off.
Now I can't do it anymore.
You get upset now,
you've upset me, and I get angry.
- Well, don't do it.
- Look, you're not-
Let me have a double scotch on the rocks
with a twist, and a beer on the side.
- All right.
- You wanna use me. I'm tired of that.
I'm not gonna deal with that, baby.
Every time I hit you where it hurts,
you don't wanna deal with it.
I want a response from you.
Don't you withdraw from me...
because every time I need you,
you withdraw from me.
You don't need me.
You need a lamppost out in the street.
If I walk out of here tonight,
I'm walking out.
- You're out of your f***ing tree.
- Oh, f*** you! F*** you!
Yeahl
Yeahl
- Where you goin'?
- Amarillo.
Well, you're in luck.
Thank God Almighty, mister.
She's got a hard pull, doesn't she?
Zero to 60 in 7.5.
She'll do a quarter of a mile, 13.40.
Rerformance and image -
that's what it's all about.
It's a mighty fancy automobile.
I bought her in Bakersfield, California.
I was testing jets at the time.
It got so I wasn't getting enough action
on the ground. You know what I mean.
I mean, you just can't stay
with the same high forever.
So, when the 455 came out with
a Mark IV ram air and a beefed blower in...
a Carter high-riser setup,
I was on line.
390 horsepower.
500 foot pounds of torque...
whatever that is.
It's all in the folder right there in the glove
compartment, if you wanna take a look at it.
Oh, she's a real road king, all right.
How come you ain't
still in Bakersfield?
Because I'm in the Southwest.
What kind of sounds you like?
- Beg pardon?
- Rock? Soul? Hillbilly?
Western.
- What's your taste?
- It don't hardly matter to me.
Might be a fouled plug.
Wish we were back in Santa Fe.
So, after I got shot down twice
over Korea...
I decided it was time
for some fun and games.
You know what I mean?
Then I ran out of cash
and had to take a job testing jets.
After a while it got so that I needed
a little more action on the ground.
I mean, you can't stay
with the same high forever. Right?
Well, about that time the 455
came out with a Mark IV ram air...
Those son of a b*tches.
They've been following me
clear across two states.
Three states.
They keep wanting to challenge me.
They come up behind me
