Ok I saw this a good 15 years ago. It was a 70s or maybe early 80s movie. Might have been European or possibly Australian. No idea what it was called. I remember bits and pieces. There were 2 dudes who had a pimped out pos maybe a vette or something along those lines. Beginning of movie is these dudes are stunt jumpers they are trying to do a jump with the car but the guy doesnt make it. Somehow a woman gets involved im sure there was some shitty story line. In the end they are being chased up a mountain by some dude who breaks into a dealership and steals a pimped out Opel maybe??? There is a helicopter after them guy from copter drops a chain down for a brief case thats in their car but the woman ties the chain to the t top bar and the car flies away. I cannot find this movie for the life of me. Anyone have any idea what this movie was? I am looking to add this to my collection of horrible 70s and 80s car flicks. ---

Chase scene 1: Chase scene 2 that I remembered chase car is a Capri: Love the sales person. “350 cubic inches of Chevy in there sir. A bit throaty for the suburbs.” Its a fucking race car lols. And “You see, thats the kind of guy who needs that kind of car. This is the sorta thing you want over here!” I am buying this movie. ---
