Shaker Run
Following the 1981 season Baker put the Capri up for sale again, and it was purchased by North Island driver, Bob Cullinane. Cullinane gave the car a new lick of paint, in black and yellow/ red, and raced the Capri in the North Island Sports Sedan series. He enjoyed some good results, if not able to repeat the race winning inter-island battles of Baker. Against opposition such as Ian Algie’s magnificent new V8 Alfetta, and the ever improving machines of Huxford, Tulloch, and Crowe, Cullinane held his own throughout the 1982 season.
The Capri saw little action following the 1982 season, and was eventually sold to Brian Friend, to replace the ex-Roy Harrington V8 Torana he’d previously campaigned. By now the old war-horse was showing its age, especially against slick new opposition. However, the Capri did get to bask in the spotlight one more time, when it starred in the 1985 New Zealand movie Shaker Run, starring Cliff Robertson and Leif Garrett.
The Capri was used for one of several car chase scenes in the movie, in which it was stolen from a central Wellington car dealer’s showroom (Kirk Motors Mitsubishi), to chase the pink and black replica Pontiac Trans Am driven by Robertson and Garrett throughout the movie. Still in Brian Friend’s racing colours, with his name above the windscreen, the Capri was smashed through the showroom window, then set off after the Trans Am. The two cars sped momentarily through some inner-city Wellington streets, before suddenly they were charging up the Rimutaka Hill (about 30 minutes from Wellington CBD). Here the bad guy in the Capri catches the Trans Am, rams it a few times, then loses control after Garrett throws bottles of oil into his path.
Shaker Run doesn’t seem to be available on DVD, but the chase scene can easily be found by doing a quick YouTube search. The crisp small-block Chev in the Capri sounds great with its open pipes

... all i wanted was to own the capri.
The only decently shaped car fraud ever made.

Bloody beautiful! Especially if it was an 2600RS!

Yes you are sick. I wanted the car. I Dream of Jeannie (Barbara Eden) gave me trouser movement back then. I would say I was watching re-runs.

[pete376403]

I was a "crowd scene extra" in Shaker Run. The bit at Hutt park receway where they did the jump scene. Wellington Stockcar club was involved, so there were a few stock cars, speedway bikes and so on for the pits scene. Later on we were all in the grandstand to be the "amazed spectators who stand and cheer as the car goes over the jumps" .

If you know just when to pause the movie, I'm the blur wearing a black windbreaker jacket.

BTW movie making is a long drawn out process. They wanted us onsite at 5:00pm. The jump scene was finally filmed at about 4 the next morning.

...a fair bit of my 70's skullduggery days were spent escaping in a V6 capri...not a cool vehicle to be larriken around in full of piss and acid, but we got away with it...dunno how...still here...we weren't a good role model for the next generation...and now we moan about them...hahaha...

[unstuck]

Me and a mate had a race once from northcross to silverdale, he had a v6 capri and I had a v6 anglia, twas utter fuckin madness. There is no way I would consider racing on the road like that now, just glad we never killed anyone.:facepalm:

got a copy of Battle Truck last night haha, was a classic!

felt like mad max 2 a bit, at the start finding the diesel supply and setting up camp around it n shit. post apocalypse style. Good flick tho, loved the truck and the bike and some of the helicopter camera shots were choice, bike fanging it around.

gotta get some more flicks that have popped up on here. hard to find tho. i want the one with the formula atlantics.

I googled where battle truck was filmed and it came up with Otago/NZ - real? some of the landscape looked mint would love to go there myself.. might not be the same as back in the 80s tho haha
