    A 1971 movie called VANISHING POINT (bonus, has Charlotte Rampling as a hitchhiker) Also 1971 DUEL -- not typical car chases as what you all have mentioned, but it's Spielberg's debut, where Dennis Weaver is pursued by a maniac truck driver.

    The thing about Death Proof is that it's the greatest car chase movie ever made, from a director not known for car chase scenes. The 40 minute chase scene between the 1970 Challenger from Vanishing Point and the 1969 Charger from Bullitt is pure automotive nirvana.

    This wasn't part of the soundtrack for the cult classic "Vanishing Point" (1971). But this fan-made video fits. In the film, an ex-cop, former stock car racer, and Vietnam vet, makes a bet to deliver a 1970 Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in record time. youtu.be/4hU6OdT9u2I?...

    Another amazing issue of Vanishing Point. This reminds me of the movie Hang Em High except in the future. In the movie they would stop vigilante hangings just to hang up later by the law in the town. This one similar concept, keep the prisoner alive until they get the death sentence

    It was heavy on indie flicks, foreign films, art houses fodder, cult- or underground classics. IOW it did not have fifty copies of "Waterworld" and "Pocahontas", and the Art Institute of Atlanta film major behind the counter would probably cock a snook at you if you asked.
