Modesto, some.... San Rafael was main street ( They made the street a one-way during filming)....

Petaluma was the scene for that 'chain hooked to the police car', in a lot..... ( next to what was the 'State' movie theater)

The drag race / Chevy crash was done on the Novato to Petaluma highway 'back roads'.....

I lived there .... when they filmed there... My friend maintained the Yellow Duce Coupes & Black '55 Chevys, during the day, as the filming was at night.

Memory serves me, there was 2 metal 'close-up" Yellow Coupes, & 3 fiberglass for action scenes.

Have a link? So your RS was a tbi? My friend had one and turned it into a Z28 clone. I had 3 350 tpi Formulas, and they were pretty quick. One was an ex DEA car--which I didn't know at the time.
