One of the best Shelby movies. Red Line 7000. James Caan is in the passenger seat. Daytona Coupe is also in the movie.

 

What were they thinking??

Most women would rather vacuum the carpet in a bowling alley than sit in the passenger seat of a 65.. let alone drive one..

(nice picture)

 

Looks like a scene from "Red Line 7000" . Can anyone make out any headrest in the photo? The passenger looks a little like James Garner. But he was in Grand Prix!!

 

That's what i thought when I first saw it. I'll have to watch the movie to see if That is the scene I'm thinking of. It is a fun film to watch. Really corny dialogue but it is fun to see the cars!!

I have that movie on VHS and starts it just to listen to the 65
on the race track with Laura Devon (French actress) driving.
Poor poor movie though but the car pictures are great.
The car in the picture has head rests.

New Question on the picture. Is the front license plate a USMC plate?

 

Hi again,
In the article above, it's stated that 5010 (#10) was used
in the movie Red Line 7000. I don't believe that's correct.
The car in the movie doesn't have any side scoops or
65 Thunderbird tail lights. Personally I saw a car at the
Mustang celebration in Charlotte many years ago which was
claimed to be the movie car. Don't remember the number
but it could have been #7.
It had the hole in the dash for the T-handle and wire that
was used in the movie, probably to by pass the exhaust mufflers.
Anybody else saw that car?
This movie I saw in Sweden is the reason I got to love 65 Mustang GT350's and decided that I should own one in the near future but it took 23 years.

I work with the owner of 5S498 which is also listed in the Registry as possibly being the car in Redline 7000. He's not much of a club guy, in fact I don't even know anyone locally who has seen the car including me. He did buy from back east and confirmed it did come with the head rests and rumors about it being the movie car. I'll ask him if it has, or had, the dash cutout. Bo, I know you and I have discussed this before. Is it possible that was the car you saw in Charlotte?

Dave,
Yes, it could have been if it was shown at the
anniversary at Charlotte.

Re: What were they thinking??

 

Dave,
I looked at the movie today and tried to see from the screen
what type of windshield wipers were on the car, early with the
special chromed bezel or the 66 type. My car has the 66 type
which means that 5S498 must have that type as well.
However, couldn't see for sure.

Hi Bo,

I talked with the owner of 5S498 today and asked about the dash cutout. He said the cutout is no longer there but when he stripped the dash he did find where a previous owner had patched it. He bought the car out of Georgia so it might well be the car you saw in Charlotte.
