Awesome and thank you. I found a USGS pic (the site is almost impossible to navigate) from 1978 and to my surprise the area is almost virtually identical down to the srubs etc. So this is an fairly unchanging landscape but its going to be serious hunt, but I have 3 weeks there again so I can...
We filmed our own flyby of the 70 Monte to pay tribute. You'll recognize this one. Yes Peter those early screen grabs where shot between Tonopah and Goldfield.
Also a flyby we filmed on one of the roads they shot on. Thats the Smokey Valley on the other side of the car in the first pix.

Did you see the shots I posted from our film above. We...
Just found this fantastic thread and joined! Fantastic work here on some locations that have eluded me. I have traversed the Goldfield-Carvers-Austin area a few times hunting VP locations and recently filmed parts of feature film last June, we took shots of our movie car racing through the area...
