      Dude...shut the curtains, turn off the lights, and crank the surround sound...you will not be disappointed...

      And remember that all the cars in that movie are the real deal...no replicas there...none...

      EDIT: FWIW, the "plumber's van" and the "fake cops" were both real and documented entries in the original Cannonball Runs as documented by Brock Yates in his book...

          I watched the movie the other night, and what a bunch of great cars!

          The 365 Daytona was never one of my favorite Ferrari's, but for some reason I liked it when I saw it in the movie. Plus, it sounded amazing!! The Daytona/Cobra race in the canal was epic!

                      It turns out he is right! My dad emailed the people at Roush about those cars (the 2 pictures seen at the beginning of the thread.) They responded, and it turns out they are called GN34 Prototypes, using Pantera bodies that were changed up. It was supposed to be Ford's answer to the Corvette.

                        Finally something we can research!

                        Here is what I found: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/12/c...ad-yamahas-v6/

                        This article says Pantera influenced. I wonder how they would have fared had Ford actually built these. Styling need to be upped some, these cars are not exactly great looking. Roush owns both surviving prototypes (the ones in the pics.) Cool story.
