Yes, of course, the picture doesn't proof it's a '71 JS27 car. But unless we see that car's VIN / Fender tag we just can't tell, right? To say it with the words of the canadian guy: 'Makes you wonder whether Chrysler slipped a few R/T convertibles out the door in '71 before pulling their...

And how about that one? https://www.imcdb.org/v001033465.html

Thanks for your remarks. That explains also why the build date says 814 and the door tag says 9 - 70.

Chryco Psycho, my Challenger is one of these early '71 model year cars, with VIN Number JH27 H1B 150398 (build date 814 / Friday, August 14th 1970). What always puzzled me is the Sequencial Number, as it seems to be common believe the S/N started with 100001 at the beginning of a new model...

Yes, that was it for the Pinto, while the Challenger might be still among us? And you're right: A well equipped '70 Challenger (looks like a 440). But what makes you think it was a SE?

Chrysler never built new Challenger convertibles for the '72 Mod Squad season (or any other TV production). The just converted the already existing '71 verts (that they rented to the studios) into 72 models by changing the front and the rear end attributes. If it really is one of these...

Hello Speet, I knew about the filming locations in the Hanksville area because of the apparent airport building way in the background. But I didn't know the location of the fake Nevada/California border. Another great find! And I can add some updates on K's midnight ride through Denver...

Agree, the sixth digit indicates the year... 1971 in this case (Top of the sheet: G-Series 1971)

Yes, I took these pictures. Driving into Nice, these cars were sitting right beside the road. I scanned the negatives yesterday, and I just now noticed the unique (Monaco) license plate. A quick Google search and what do you know: The car is actually on sale on CarsOnLine: Cars On Line.com |...

Came across these faded negatives. This was back in December 1984, just outside Nice, France. Wonder what happened to that Bird.

Hello Steve, thanks for spreading the word - and I wish I could join you for that Kowalski-Run from Colorado to California! And stay tuned, as I heard rumors that 'Last Highway' has arrived on that dry lake west of Tonopah.

Hurrah, we're getting closer, closer, closer!

35mm film and John Alonzo style lenses: This really sounds great (and adventurous)! And I guess all we are waiting for here are some crystal clear pictures of that dry lake west of Tonopah. And of course the icing on the cake: The exact flat tire scene location....

Speet, you’re quite right with your localization of this part of the off-road desert scene, as your comparison pictures clearly demonstrate. So based on the research done by you and MrLocation, we can recap this desert scene (44 Min. into the movie) as follows: - Cornered by the police...
