Care to add any of your favorites vehicles that were in movies not listed?

 

Pass on the mini-cooper.......on the fence about the VW.

Like to add:

Ferrari Daytona and AC Cobra in Gumball rally.


How can either Eleanor not make that list???


(sure there's more I'll think of later)

 

There were some pretty sweet cars in the Cannonball Run movies.

Eleanor as stated by DOHC....

Trans Am in the first Smokey and the Bandit....

Starsky and Hutch's red car ( can't remember for the life of me the name )

 

The Shelby Cobra from Bumball Rally

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.... on second thought.. maybe not

Aston Martin DBS from Casion Royale (2006) Too bad they set a film record for flipping it 7 times during filming

Bullitt- Both the Mustang and the Dodge are amazing cars. Here is the famous clip. One of the best V8 sounds is at 2:45 in to the clip with the Dodge taking off then the Mustang

That would be a Torino.....

They used to film a LOT of shows in my home town.....got to do wheelies on the CHiPs set on my KZ650.

Anyway, funny as heck watching that 74ish Torino huffing and puffing and not even able to break the wheels loose......but during the weekly show, the thing sounded like NASCAR racer.

 

What about the Gmc truck in the Fall guy, I know it is a series and it was a GMC
but it is one of the reasons why I wanted a 4x4 lifted so I could jump it everywhere!!
Or how about the general LEE that made me want one so I could jump broken bridges
Or the van on the A team it made me want a pimped out van and I got one but I had
a hard time pitching it sideways unless the road was wet, But that 300 with the c6
had some power and I used to floor it and kill it and turn it back on and scare the heck
out of everybody. If I did that now adays I would probably have shots returned!!
How about the magnum pi car It looked cool or that other show I forget what it was
but he had that Coyote kit car and I had a chance to buy one bitd and wish I did.

 

Karl, saw that on the big screen when it came out in '68. WOW.
That had my stomach feeling like I was on the Big Dipper Roller Coaster at the Santa Cruz Board Walk.

 

"The Flying Tomato!"

 

The 1977 Trans Am from Smokey and The Bandit is hands down the bets car ever in a movie or TV show. The General Lee 1969? Charger comes in at a close second. They really dropped the ball with this top ten list.

 

The 48 Ford in Grease




The Deuce coupe, The 57 T-Bird, The 55 Chev and the Renault in American Graffitti






The 55 Chevy in two lane blacktop

The Former cop car in the Blue Brothers. ?



The 66 Pontiac Monkey-mobile.

And the Infamous CHRISTINE

 

The Cobra in "Gumball Rally".

Or how about the 3 Dodge Chargers (two-69s; one RT and one Coupe, and one '68 Coupe)
and 6 Dodge Polara 440s used in "Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry.

 

So how many of you have seen the movies
Hollywood Knights and The Junkman ?

 

Yeah the exhaust sounds were dubbed because CA law wouldn't allow them to modify the exhaust on a new car.

But something I didn't know until I just looked it up was that the last year of the show the cars were 76s, Ford had to specially paint them because they had changed the red that was standard but wanted the cars to match the originals and the 3 cars used that year were equiped with 460s (the first year they had 351W, then 400s and finally in 76 decided to run big blocks)

 

hollywood knights had some nice cars for the time.



also a few from gone in 60 seconds where nice too,

 

That's not movie car. Movie car was Dodge Monaco.
