TMCP #636: Director Pete Segal & Anghel Restorations – Bringing The Screen Used Tommy Boy Car Back To Life!

Some movies don’t just entertain us — they become part of who we are. Tommy Boy is one of those rare films, blending heart, humor, brotherhood, and horsepower into a story that has resonated with car people for nearly three decades. On this week’s episode of The MuscleCar Place, Rob Kibbe has the rare privilege of interviewing Tommy Boy director Peter Segal and master restorer Marc Anghel to tell the unbelievable story of the movie’s most famous co-star: the 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX. Peter understood car culture from the start and intentionally made the GTX a true character in the film — one that suffered every mishap right alongside Tommy and Richard, earning its place in automotive and movie history.

After spending more than 25 years forgotten at a picture car warehouse, the legendary GTX was reunited with Peter at a Barrett-Jackson auction and brought back to life through a concours-level restoration by Marc Anghel. The result is a real-world Tommy Boy car, complete with Callahan Auto decals and subtle nods to its cinematic legacy — and a perfect-score winner at MCACN, the “Pebble Beach of muscle cars.” This episode is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the way one movie — and one car — can leave a permanent mark on all of us.

KF Movie Summary: This is like when you read the ingredients for a new dish you’re interested in….and all the ingredients are perfect. Peanut butter. Bacon. Chocolate. Fancy Cheese. And then you eat it….and you can taste some of the good things in there, but the combined end product – which should be good….is not good. It’s not bad. But it’s definitely not good. Tommy Boy has mostly the same ingredients and it’s amazing. This one should not make a Michelin book. Chris Farley is the Roger Clinton to Tim Matheson in this movie, the idiot brother of an up and coming politician running for Governor. Dave Spade is a nerdy worker for the governor, assigned to keep Farley out of sight and out of the news. A road trip in a ratted out convertible muscle car ensues until they right the wrongs of voter fraud putting that had placed the wrong politicians into the highest office. There are a few redeeming points and laughs….but this ain’t no Tommy Boy. Rating: 6 Corndogs.
