When Steele is driving Morrie's Charger chasing the red Mustang, he asks "where's fourth gear?" on the steering column manual shift. Morrie says he hasn't used it since the year the astronauts landed on the moon (1969). The Charger didn't have a 4 speed column shift. Steele may not have known this, since some European cars had them, but Morrie would have known.
