Wonderful movie. Undoubtedly the best vintage (now at least!) gearhead movie of the time. It would be unlikely that a similarly impressive, and accurate, collection of 1970 vintage Le Mans cars could ever be assembled again and run in that fashion. If I'm not mistaken, one way to further confirm that the movie is 1970 or later is the movie-staged start was not the classic Le Mans style running-on-foot start but rather the driver-in-car start now used since 1970.

Love the funky 70's music and cinematography!
