Penton Steel Tanker in Then Came Bronson

[OhioTed]

In the "hillclimb" sequence of the Then Came Bronson movie, there is what appears to be a Penton Steel tanker parked right where Michael Parks character pulls up and talks with the promoter.  Check it out and tell me if I'm right.  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-k2ZI125DPk&ei=r1gkVLizN9enyATpgILgCw&usg=AFQjCNHgXMv1uKYburA2E0feQmONTTKH2Q&bvm=bv.76247554,d.aWw&cad=rja

couldn't get the link to work but found the movie clip on you tube.
Yep! #612 sure looks like a steel tanker, just has tank painted solid red

I see Bud Ekins did some of the stunts. Larry Ward and the Two Wheel Power Hour have Michael Parks on their show occasionally.

The Penton appears at about the 2:58 mark.

Thanks for the post.
Yes, that is a steel tanker Penton.
Also, if you look closely at when Bronson is doing the hill climb, that is not a Harley he is riding. The engine cylinder turns black in color and looks like a two stroke cylinder.

there is a comment on you tube about the clip of the hillclimb that says the bike used to climb the hill is a 360 cz.
