Think I saw the car a number of times back in the late 80's in SoCal. Don't recall the owners name

Pretty easy to get bit parts in movies and later music videos or rent out your car to the studios if you drove what they were looking for. Did it a number of times during college year locally. Better than going to class most of the time

I hacked many a Mustang dash to install 8 track players then the super cool cassette players to get my driving music on. Then bigger, louder , faster engines came along, then there was no more need for 70s- 80s type music. Spent my pay checks for things under the hood. What a great time to be young and enjoy all the things that were going on at the time, including a few run ins with the long arm of the law while exersizing my ponies. I can still remember most of the lyrics to those great bands and songs. A trip down memory lane was most enjoyable.

Their first offer was always - your car will be worth more if you loan it to us. Then of course they offered $100 and finally up to about $500 if the car was rare and valuable. One good Hollywood budget scam was to buy a car for the movie that the producer, director or star wanted. When filming was over they gave or sold it cheap to who wanted it.

I was referring more to cars used as fillers or props as background a long time ago now  In those days I drove 30's and 40's hot rods to school and a fair number of locally filmed movies were centered around the 40-50's so it all fit well together.  One example was when they were filming some scenes at a local fancy university and I had finals at the jr college down the street. Saw a number of friends from the car clubs and street racing hanging around school - they had found it before I had so I pulled in and got the lay of the land. Walked over to a guy in charge of the extras and asked if they had any jobs. Figured a little extra pocket money would not hurt. The guy said they had all they needed but as I walked towards my car the guy called back and offered me $50 to leave it parked there to walk to my finals. As the week went on I got paid more if my car was moving, if I was in a shot I got more. Found out this way of working kept me from having to join the actors union.

Later found out they had an open account at a gas station in town (just pull up - drop a name and fill up, would feed you three meals if you got in line at the right time and they had hired a bunch of high school girls for the movie also. So it was a young guys dream.  All the gas, food and company we we could want for a short time. Think I did four movies that summer. Most of those were made for TV movies.

I used to have several studios and TV stations for accounts. Universal was the best. When I got there the guy would drag out the shooting schedule and pick the one with the best craft services for me to go to for a free lunch. Disney was the worst. Only a commissary food was good but no freebies.

After watching the movie Spinal Tap, I can't watch a "hair band" without parts of that movie coming back to me.
         I really like the overhead shots of the Shelby streaking down the highway.

Cool video thanks for sharing. Now i'm wondering if this wasn't one of Larry Quay's old cars. He had a black with gold stripes GT350 in 1990 and brought it from California  to the SAAC show in AA Mi. Here it is next to my 2 Shelbys I had at the time. Wheels on both of my Shelbys were just restored and got them just before the show thanks to Craig Conley. Gary
