Probably just a limitation of his budget. It takes money and planning to get a chase car and set up fly-by shots etc. He has one camera and a mount.

Any video with C-3's is cool. Thanks for sharing. The silver 74 squeaks like a mouse caught in a trap. Would drive me crazy.

Thanks. Yes, they both actually squeaked. The 74 drove great though! The 73 454 car needs some love. Carb needs some help and the Hurst was very notchy compared to the 74 with the same trans/shifter. And the clutch pedal in the 454 car was very long (late release) compared to the 350 car. Not sure if they are all like that or if there is an adjustment.
