Vanishing Point (1971)

Vanishing Point (1971) is an American action film starring Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, and Dean Jagger. Directed by Richard C. Sarafian, the film is notable for its scenic film locations across the American Southwest and is especially popular with Mopar auto enthusiasts because it prominently features a classic 1970 Dodge Challenger muscle car. It is also seen by some as a social commentary on the post-Woodstock mood in the United States.

Plot
Kowalski works for a car delivery service. He takes delivery of a 1970 Dodge Challenger to take from Colorado to San Francisco, California. Shortly after pickup, he takes a bet to get the car there in less than 15 hours. After a few run-ins with motorcycle cops and highway patrol they start a chase to bring him into custody. Along the way, Kowalski is guided by Supersoul - a blind DJ with a police radio scanner. Throw in lots of chase scenes, gay hitchhikers, a naked woman riding a motorbike, lots of Mopar and you've got a great cult hit from the early 70's.
