#3396 in Cannonball Run II | The De Tomaso Forums

Here's a picture of one of my two, 3 second long, appearances in the 1984 movie, Cannonball Run II. They thought it would look cool if some girl was changing my tire while I was just leaning up against the car, sipping on a beer. The only other shot was me doing a burnout at the beginning of the "race". My license plate at the time was "Group 4" and can be seen in that shot. This movie was rated as one of the 10 worst movies of the year for 1984 in the U.S.

But did she successfully change the tire?

This car is now in Maryland It is black with satin black stripes. The Ronal wheels in the picture are now on a yellow factory GT-5 Pantera.

The only work she did was pretend to struggle to get the tire over the studs. I was aware that the guy I sold it to in 1992, Mark Weigenant, had sold it about three years ago but I had no idea where it ended up. It's nice to be able to know where it is now.
