We received a tip that one of the 46 crash cars was abandoned in a field. What we didn’t know was it was one of the cannon powered flip cars. Footage of the actual flip is at 3:30 • Days of Thunder (1990)...

From the looks of it, this used to originally be a Rob Moroso Swisher Sweets Oldsmobile~ That's super awesome, and makes it even cooler than just a Days of Thunder car if it really was one of Rob's~

I agree. Almost a shame it got turned into a movie stunt car and destroyed

As a HUGE DOT fan. I sure do appreciate you salvaging these cars and preserving what's left of them. I didn't think you were whining in the other videos. I could tell that you were just stoked to have found those cars.

@coorsbandit52126 ай бұрын
I’m 99% sure it’s the car at 3:30 in the B roll that flips forward behind the 43 car. There’s a hole in the driver side for a camera mount that can be seen in the flip sequence that’s in the car I have. They used that initial flip in the movie.
