"just like the one Harrison Ford raced in American Graffiti"

Duh! The film American Graffiti featured Harrison Ford in the role of "Bob Falfa" and the car was a highly-modified 1955 Chevrolet 150 two-door sedan, not a Bel Air.

The car was one of the vehicles prepared for and used in the earlier George Lucas film, Two-lane Blacktop. The car in American Graffiti featured a roll bar, white interior, no back seat, and a tonneau cover going from just behind the front bench seat to the rear package shelf area.

The car also had a big-block Chevrolet engine, one-piece fiberglass tilt front-end, fiberglass trunk lid and other custom features, including the three-spoke steering wheel.

So, it's easy for anyone who knows the movie American Graffit to tell that this car you're showing here is not at all "just like the one Harrison Ford raced in American Graffiti."

Jeff beat me to it .

Calling a 2dr hardtop belair "falfas car" is just about as bad as calling a candy apple red 55 sitting 2 inches of the ground with boyd wheels a "gasser" some people lol.
