Sorry guys, and don't hate me, but I think that sounds like a 301" Chevy under the hood. Y'all remember those...a 283 bored to 4" back in the day! NO banjo rear end visible under the car, either. Have any of ya noticed the single, stock '40 Ford-type exhaust pipe (easily seen at 3:27 in the video)? Or how about the rubber left on the road by the rear tires drifting around the corners, like at 1:30, 1:37, 2:25 and 2:33?
The great tune accompanying this bonzai ride up the fictitious coast is titled "Shu Bop", and done by none other than Dion DiMucci, more famously-known by "Dion and the Belmonts", although DiMucci left the Belmonts in 1960 after three years with the group to go on to further fame in his own right. This song was actually recorded in 1993 for use in a motion picture which unfortunately, never materialized. The song was finally released in 2000. One downright cool little '40 coupe, fu shur! DD
