There were six Cars built for filming by Barris Kustoms in North Hollywood, California: one main car of steel and five fiberglass replicas. Three replicas were destroyed in the climactic explosion scene and the other two replicas were wrecked in rollovers. The gloss-black main Car is a custom Lincoln Mark III with a locked 4.11 differential (to allow easier spinning), a 460 cubic-inch V8 engine, heavy-duty suspension, roll bar, safety harness, and amber-tinted glass. The top is lowered and the beltline raised. Twelve craftsmen built the main Car in six weeks.

Chas:
I shouldn't have left her.


Wade Parent:
Nothing would have changed. He would have taken you out too. I talked to her... she called me when she got back here. She could hear the engine coming down the street.

[choking back the tears]


Wade Parent:
She was so frightened. I don't know... I don't know.


Luke:
I know why he didn't go into the cemetery.

[Wade turns to look at Luke]


Luke:
I know why. There's no other reason... the ground... was hallowed.

[Wade gives Luke a skeptical glare]


Luke:
That's what I say... but you think about it. Everything that's happened... what it did to the guys, and how.

[Wade turns and walks out of the house]


Luke:
Everybody else was killed on the street! Lauren was killed in the middle of her own living room! She was special... why? Because she cursed him, that's why!


Wade Parent:
I don't believe it, I don't accept it.


Luke:
Wade, that car flew into that house four feet off the ground. And how did he know where she lived?


Wade Parent:
Keep the road blocks up, get all the other guys. Get 'em down at the station right away.
