Glad I didn't see it. My first car was a '57 Ford and I rebuilt that sucker with my own two hands at the tender age of 16... Don't think I could have handled it.

"Thunder Road" with Robert Mitchum took place in NC, where it was actually filmed. The plot involved hauling moonshine across the Smoky Mountains into Tennessee.
