Paul Williams was a prolific songwriter in the day,  One of the movie scores he wrote was for 'Thunderbolt and Lightfoot'.  Coincidentally there is a pretty cool 73'sh Trans Am in that movie.

I still have that Clint Eastwood movie on VHS, and specifically bought it because of Jeff Bridges driving that 73. (thumbs up)
