I used to ask people in the 80's and 90's if they ever saw the Seven-Ups. Only about 5% knew what I was talking about. I saw this when it first came out. It was at a drive-in (remember those?) right across the street from my apt., and I saw it every night it played. Had an unobstructed view. It played on a double-bill with CHarles Bronson's "The Stone Killer"

If you look closely towards the end after the hood of the Ventura gets blown off you'll see when he steps on it and you see the engine that it has a Chevy style air filter housing. Not sure if there was a Chevy engine under it but it is a chevy housing as Pontiacs were flat. I have owned a few old pontiacs of that vintage.

The engine sounds for the Mustang in Bullitt was from a Ford GT40. They have a nice write up in wikipedia about Bulllitt. No matter what Bill Hickman was one hell of a driver. I have never seen car control in a movie as good as his.

I think Bullitt (1968) gots the best car chase scene of any movie handsdown. But this one is just fucking good.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I was trying to figure out what kind of car that was that Roy Scheider was driving... thanks!
