David Carradine’s car from the 1975 goofball classic Death Race 2000, based on a Volkswagen chassis, and it’s powered by a Chevrolet Corvair flat-six which is hidden underneath the dummy engine visible in the rear, designed and built by James Powers, Dean Jeffries, and George Barris

 


The 70s sure had some stupid movies, or people simply didn't yet realize they could make clever, engrossing, addictive stuff like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, 24, etc without special effects, simply with great writing

    Death Race 2000 was ok though, because it was really tongue-in-cheek, both the script and the acting. Wouldn't have worked if it took itself seriously.
