Need help with name of old movie.

This guy, with curly dark hair, drives cars to deliver them. He takes off from the east coast, pedal to the metal, popping speed and just doesn't stop. I think he is driving a white Dodge. He won't stop for anybody or anything.

There is a scene of a naked blonde in the desert outside of a mobile home walking around.

An excitable black DJ at a radio station in a small southern town is following the trek of the driver, delivering his message.

At the end, the cops set up two huge land movers blocking the highway and the driver rams right into them at full speed, killing himself.
