Movie question


I thought Jan Michael Vincent was in this movie, but it's not on his filmography. It's about a drifter that pulls into town, wanting to dragrace his car. The town's headhoncho's son races to, and will probably lose to the hero. They wreck his car, then all the poor people help him out by donating parts. He wins the race, gives everyone their parts back, the movie ends with him and a girl pushing the car down the highway to start it. One particular line I recall is a sponsor giving him a decal to put on his car, he tells the sponsor it's a car not a comic book. I think the movie was made in the early 70's. Anyone know of it?
