The car According to Sarafian, it was Zanuck who came up with the idea of using the new 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. He wanted to do Chrysler a favor for their long-time practice of providing 20th Century Fox with cars on a rental base for only a dollar a day. Many of the other cars featured in the film are also Chrysler products.[8] Stunt Coordinator Carey Loftin said he requested the Dodge Challenger because of the "quality of the torsion bar suspension and for its horsepower" and felt that it was "a real sturdy, good running car."[9]

Five Alpine White Dodge Challenger R/Ts were lent to the production by Chrysler for promotional consideration and were returned upon completion of filming. Four cars had 440 engines equipped with four-speeds; the fifth car was a 383. No special equipment was added or modifications made to the cars, except for heavier-duty shock absorbers for the car that jumped over No Name Creek.[9] The Challengers were prepared and maintained for the movie by Max Balchowsky, who also prepared the Mustangs and Chargers for Bullitt (1968). The cars performed to Loftin's satisfaction, although dust came to be a problem. None of the engines were blown.[9] Loftin remembers that parts were taken out of one car to repair another because they "really ruined a couple of those cars" while jumping ramps between highways and over creeks.[9] Newman remembers that the 440 engines in the cars were so powerful that "it was almost as if there was too much power for the body. You'd put it in first and it would almost rear back!"[9] The Challengers appear in the film with Colorado plates OA-5599.

This radio station was named Kowalski, in honor of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when's he gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.

My guess is that this was on US 95 north of Las Vegas, NV before Goldfield, NV.

Here's why .... "During the pursuit, Kowalski listens to radio station KOW, which is broadcasting from Goldfield, Nevada". Figured that you didn't want to drive the entire 188 miles so you only went north of Las Vegas by about 50 miles. That would put you near Indian Springs, NV around Creech Air Force Base.

BTW -- you were headed southbound back to Vegas when you took the pics. ;)

Actually the curvy road was Red Rock Canyon. The desert hill was of rt 15 south to Cali...
