I suppose, then, they built an artificial wall and gate running across this street, near where the silver car is parked. Does anyone know the filming location of Sonny's death scene on the causeway?

It was point lookout causeway @ Jones Beach toll Booth.

Actually they filmed the Sonny -Toll booth scene on a runway at the old Mitchel Field complex which is now Nassau Community College

The toll booth scene was filmed at the old Mitchel Field base, but still exists!!!!! I will provide photos shortly!

Toll Booth scene, located at the abandoned runway of Mitchel Field in Uniondale, NY. Stiil exists today. (Sorry for the grainy cell phone pictures)

This shot is where Sonny is still in the car, looking ahead of him. In the movie you can see a water tower past the trees, but the trees have since grown in the past 36 years, thus blocking the water tower from view. But it is still there!

My friend Jerry had heard a rumor on some website that the famous toll booth scene from The Godfather had been shot somewhere by Nassau Community College on Long Island (right by where we live). Naturally, this sparked our interest. So we examined the movie scene, along with what we knew about the area. After some detective work, we narrowed it down to an abandoned runway left behind by the old Mitchel Field Air Corps base from WWII. So, we took my car and headed out in search of the EXACT filming location of one of the most famous scenes in movie history. We used reference points from the movie (such as a radio tower, water tower, tree lines, roads, etc.) to pinpoint the location. So, here they are above for all to enjoy. CIAO!

I'm also wondering if the interiors of the house were filmed in the house or on soundstages...also wondering if the house had the great backyard / garden where the wedding took place?

The owner of the house used in the Godfather still owns it and lives in it to this day. There is a large sideyard/backyard that I believe was used in the movie. I know someone that owned the house directly across from this one and it can be seen in the movie. They lived there at the time of the shooting. I will ask if all of the outdoor scenes were filmed at that location.
