AMERICAN GRAFFITI -- MILNER'S COUPE SLIDE SHOW

[barfyspitz]

1:07 I'm sorry, but I still root for the 55, no offense John.

[Mr1963chevy]

what a great movie,best damn car movie ever

[johncartelli]

i read somewhere that when they were done shooting the movie the coupe was for sale for $1500 and nobody bought it!!!!

[jjsk8erkid]

My next door neighbor has a yellow '32 ford with a 350 chevy in it, beautiful car all around: looks, sound..... My 347ci 5.0 makes 100+rwhp more though! But I am jealous of his RELIABLE hot rod ;).

[00RSZEX]

back when it didnt cost $25,000 to trick your car.

[iGalactiico]

@00RSZEX AMEN

[leeportcam]

Milner did not get killed by a drunk driver...I saw the man last week in Merced.

[dahudster]

A guy in the Frisco area owns this car, Jeff Beck has a CLONE.

[Sachs822]

bes hot rot

[reicaldinho]

um dos melhores filmes que ja vi(magia) , em que os carros sao ''atores'' tambem !

[mrnewagemotor]

This was about all I learned about COOL when I was growing up.

Kind of weird knowing that it was Harrison Ford that drove one of the coolest movie cars ever.

[tolanstout]

You know owns this car now. George Lucas? Wrong. The answer is Jeff Beck.

[crifoter69]

Safest thing about that one was its fictional/historical? builder and driver.

[johncartelli]

ag2 wasnt half as good as the first...

[Checkerholic]

@johncartelli

sequials seldom are as good as the original

[AWTD]

If I owned a car like this, out of a strong sense of social justice, I'd go around giving keys to motel rooms to guys I figured would never get laid until the day they laid them in the coffin. No sheet!

[skybluemarshall]

from :20 to :24 the license plate number reads THX1138. Lucas' first film title, starring Robert Duval as THX1138. Sci-fi movie about an underground, overpopulated future. Sex is outlawed and emotion suppressing, endurance inducing drugs are mandatory for all citizen/workers. The guy's female room mate stops taking her meds and replaces THX's meds with pacebos. They fall in love/lust and become wanted for the crimes of sexual intercourse and drug evasion. It's a pretty good movie

[cosg9531]

@skybluemarshall  THX 138. No room for the other 1; six-slot plate.

[84Bronco351]

@PONYBOY430 dude do you gotta inssult me,I wish I was in the 50's and love the songs,cars,and the movie

[HMCS1963]

My friend Pete from Arnprior Ontario just bought THIS car!

[84Bronco351]

@HMCS1963 he got a replica

[LottsaLasagna]

Shit toad..the man beat me.

[no1dirtbag]

@LottsaLasagna I thought it was "the man was beating me".............Shit, now I gotta go look!!!

[LottsaLasagna]

@no1dirtbag You're right

[atlast17]

Cars fine shame about the motor!!!!

[jstonica]

A very good song BY Booker T & the MG`S GREEN ONIONS. I love this song.

And I LOVE AMERICAN GRAFFITI

[pissenisse130]

R.I.P John Milner!!

[toneoffuel]

JOHN MILNER WILL NEVER BE BEAT. wow he is really fast . Yeah but he is stupid. showed later on milner kept his cool falfer trying to show off trying to hard ended up recking it

[Ottoplemeniti]

Sweet Mary Mother of God, I swear, I was listening to music, and when I clicked on this video, the same song came on iTunes, at the same time! I am shocked... anyway, great song, great video..

[crazyteamcrew]

@Ottoplemeniti

kako plemenito!

[Ottoplemeniti]

@crazyteamcrew nije li?

[crazyteamcrew]

@Ottoplemeniti hahaha a šalim se malo! :D

[themississippikidful]

i ain't nobody  DORK !

[extrapacker]

After this movie aired for the first time in theatres, I bought a Revell model of a 55 chevy and painted it black..and had chrome wheels...that was before I could drive a car of course!

[cyn303]

i've had a gang of hot rods over the years including a 31 model a. trust me, they are cool but you wouldn't want to go over 100 miles in one they are tiny inside. one of my favorite movies

[thing503]

The movie was set in '62.

[Tubes12AX7k]

My dad had a black '57 chevy when he was younger...

[32fordcoupegirl]

i get goosebumps when i see this car, then i get butterflys and sorta of a sick feeling, because i want this car,, i have wanted it since the movie hit the theatres,,,, i was a punk kid and saw the movie 13 times,,,i would faint if i could see this car in real and to meet Milner { Paul Le Mat} in real,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yikes, get the smelling salts

[fireinsyde]

a 327 is fine for this era... 327 came out in 1962... the movie was set in 1962. "where were you in '62?" Toad also braggs that Steve's 58 chevy has a "327 chevy, with 6 strombergs"

[usrt46]

the license plate THX 138 was a George Lucas movie

[thing503]

one question though, what year exactly was milners coupe, i always wanted to believe 32, but i've heard that it is actually a Model A

[ciscopikeone]

32 5 window

[zurninator]

i know its a ford but what engine is the car supposed to have? its not a flattie, maybe sbc?

[thing503]

it isn't era correct zurinator but i've always heard that it was a 327 chevy small block. one fun fact though, is that even though they weren't too concerned about the year of the engine the 327 was actually released after the movie was supposed to take place. another one is that falfa's chevy, had a 454, which was released much later than the movie took place.

[10mak01]

@thing503

If I remember correctly Chevy GAVE 3 engines to the movie producers for the 55. LS6 454 and I think 1 L88 427.

[thing503]

@10mak01 haha, well I was KINDA right lol. Thanks for clarifying.

[10mak01]

@thing503 You're definitely correct. Could you clarify what year the movie took place. The first year for 327cid was 1962, 427 (non L88) 1963. I remember the 1965 big block Cobra and the Vietnam troop build up began about 1964 so I'm thinking the 327cid vs 427cid is conceivable. Really though, the bad guy in black should have been running a Hemi, LOL.

[genexrollins]

@10mak01 the only 427 chevys around in '63 were under the hoods of a very few highly favored professional racers like the limited edition W motors for drag racing & the "mystery motors" under the hood of Jr. Johnson's stock car. The public never had any until 66 & they were still pretty rare then.

[10mak01]

@genexrollins I think Chevy reports 50 1963 RPO Z-11 Impalas were built, some say 57. Any dealer could order an RPO or their client if they new what to ask for and could afford it. Reportedly some Z11's ended up on dealers lots. Your statement makes sense but I don't think there was a reserve put on them. Anyway 427 is conveivable for the movie but somehow I got Hollywood Knights cobra mixed up w/ American Graffitti.

[10mak01]

@genexrollins I was just reading the Z11 page and it states the 1962 COPO 409 impalas were sold exclusively to race car drivers, so I think in 1963 it was possible to purchase a COPO impala w/ the Z11 427 option but It probably is the rarest of all the COPO cars. They were dominating stock car and Drag racing at this time weren't they? I know the wedge and hemi were coming up. Love this stuff!

[genexrollins]

@10mak01 the black 55 chevy was actually equipped in reality with an L88 based 427 which wasnt available in '62 -the year the movie is set in. That was nt sound effects when they rev ed that monster up at the light. just brutal HP! Milner's coupe is neat, its advantage is weight dist & traction. but it would have to have a very mean small block to beat that L88, assuming of course there would be any tires found up to the task of handling all that power in 62 ! M&H racemasters!

[genexrollins]

@10mak01 the 409's had their day until the Hemi's showed up. Jr Johnsons car ran away from others in Nascar until about 500 miles, then it usually blew up!

[Hubs88]

Great photos, Milner's coupe is TITS.

[yippee42]

Atleast the cars are PAINTED and not like rat-rod rust buckets nowadays.The paint seals the car body to prevent rust,not encourage it.

[shadowandhannah]

The best car in this movie

[getarslim]

The song is Green Onions by Booker T and The MG'S

[spaners93]

Whats song???

[hockeyguitar77]

What song is that?

[IsabelTopTenClub21]

Milners Car reg THX 138. Was there ever a George Lucas film with that THX in the title?Also is there a THX sound system?I am just curious to know.Can anyone let me know.TKS.

Great video by the way.

[thamesvan]

You guessed it,justabout,he done a sci-fi film thx 1138 and adapted the coupe's reg from that

[CJDUBstang]

THX sound was founded by Lucas in 1983.

[baddassbr]

awesome montage  milner is the shit check "aloha bobby and rose"

[provoira]

Milner was feckin cool!!!

[dtpguitarist]

Milner is my alter ego. LOL

[jamesey53178]

Yeah Toad, we'll take 'em all.

I almost forgot about this movie, and how bad-ass Milner's coupe was. Seeing this slide show reminded me of one of the scene right after him and Falfa raced. Toad says, "What are you talking about John? You'll always be number one!"

[andygammy]

green onions by booker t and the mgs used for the race scene betwwen the cars near the end of the movie

[maddencourt77]

what is the name of this song.

[bhasbun]

green onions

[lostloser123456]

Great movie great car great actors Fallfas 55' chevy was nice to

[marknorrisactor]

I love this film. This is what got me started into hot rods and drag racing. I still love it!! Hollywood, CA.

[lucochoa]

FANTASTIC!

[atlcowboy2536]

I never noticed this before when watching the movie. The license plate on the car says THX 138. THX 1138 was the title of a space movie George Lucas did back before Star Wars.

[sahara1269]

Lucas always has a carry over from his previous movie into his latest movie. Keep your eyes open and you'll see them.

[stoiccid]

that would be some shit if Falfa,Solo and Indy all got together for a drink at the bar in Lucas's next movie.

[mistressdi81]

i love this vid i wanna say ride and live on johnny .. we had a lot of wild rides .. your free now ole freind

[srvfan454]

thanks largely to this move, now you cant buy a 32 coupe for under a hundred grand :(

[rkent]

you dont know movies then you stupid ass basterd..its a classic.

[Revolution1999]

american graffiti had a sequel called "more american graffiti" which came out in 1979 it was not directed by lucas but everyone execpt Richard D. from the oringal cast is in the movie.p.s THIS IS NOT SPAMMING THIS IS A HISTORICAL FACT SO NOW U KNOW THERE WAS AN AG2

[GreenDayRULES0106]

ughh that movie was dumb

[1speedy440]

Green Onions, Booker T and MG's.

Love that red T-bucket he chats with in that lot.

What a classic shot of some hotroders shootin the bull.

[67pickupman]

[67FORDowner]

[Doggchop]

The setting of the film is the summer of 1962.

The film was released in 1973. I saw it at the show

[donCarrera]

[67FORDowner]

[thamesvan]

[udiston]

[1speedy440]

There is a very wicked 55 chevy looking for you.

Watch out for the cops in Jerrys Cherries.

Love this dam movie.

[Pickinbuddy]

It's a pity that Paul LeMat never achieved the huge fame that Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, and Suzanne Sommers did...wonder why? He sure deserved to...

[Doggchop]

Paul became a Born Again Christian. I think that took his energy in other directions.

[finstoo]

"Alright listen professor. . .If he can't find me. . .than he ain't eve worth racin right?"

"Field car, you know. . . .the car the goes around the fields droppin' the cow shit all over to make the lettuce grow."

I'm gonna work up to making my own replica of that car. Exact as possible. but instead of the 327 chevy engine. . . .drop in a 454 or a 426 hemi. still four pot intake though.

[Jokerluv]

love that damn mooovie

[mulletmark]

Thought I'd let you know I just got to meet Paul LeMat who played John Milner in the film. I met him just yesterday at World of Wheels in Atlanta,Georgia. He's a heckuva nice guy! I drew his portrait from the film and he signed it and my AG Soundtrack LP. I'll be posting video of him soon from the car show!

[pepper123]
