Which movie/tv show car would you like?

[Screaming Eagle]

I've gotta go the general lee from the dukes, but there are many more cars that I love, hey how about the A Team's GMC van?

 

[RabidAlien]

Elenore, from the remake "Gone in 60 Seconds". A very close second would be the General Lee.

 

[SoD Stitch]

I vote for Harry Hamlin's Porsche 356 "Speedster" with the 3.3L flat six turbo in "King Of The Mountain" (1981). There was also a bad-a** 1965 Corvette Stingray with a blown 427 that he went up against on Mulholland in the climax of the movie.

 

[RabidAlien]

I wouldn't mind the indestructable phantom car from "Wraith". Make it easy to get outta tickets!!!

MK2 jaguar from inspector morse

 

[Njaco]

or the Car from the movie "The Car".

anybody remember a movie called "The California Kid" with Martin Sheen in the 70s. I thought it was pretty cool.

 

[pbfoot]

The Essex from My Mother the Car
Miss Hathaways 60's Mopar selection from the Beverly Hillbillies

 

[Njaco]

Ok, gonna throw some pics about the cars we're talkin' about.

 

[GrauGeist]

For a car with an attitude, I'd say Stephen King's Christine was a bad machine, but I'll take the black sedan from the movie "The Car" (starring James Brolin)...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I've actually worked on the Challenger from the Vanishing Point remake. There were 5 cars done for the movie. The shop that I work for restored the car that was run off the loading dock. It now sits beside the camera car in Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville TN.

 

[GrauGeist]

I ran across all of the wrecked Christines and all of the parts used in the film, at a wrecking yard in Fontana (Southern California) shortly after the movie was made, back in the early 80's.

They destroyed about 17 Belvederes while filming the movie Christine...

The Christine I'm shown with in the pic, is the one that was "killed" at the end of the movie by the caterpillar. Aparently, this one wasn't supposed to be wrecked, and because of a SNAFU, it ended up like this...

 

[Old Wizard]

Nostalgia for older cars is great even if they cornered awfully. I had a Camaro for a few years and I remember trying to make a corner on a two-lane highway and almost loosing it. My son's face and knuckles were white. After that I bought a Mazda van and found I could comfortably take that same corner 20kmph [12+mph] faster than the Camaro could.

 

[jsmecha]

All good choices but my fav is No. 6's Lotus 7. Cool car and cooler character!

 

[SoD Stitch]

Okay, I changed my mind: I want the Porsche 917 from the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans; over 1000 HP in a chassis that doesn't weigh much more than a VW Beetle.

 

[Negative Creep]

I'd have the Mad Max 2 Interceptor

 

[Freebird]

OK..........The rule is..........You can only have ONE.

Yeah, I could have added some completely weird cars like James Bond's submersible Lotus, but I thought we could keep it to real cars.

General Lee - Dukes of Hazzard
Gran Torino - Starsky and Hutch
Trans Am - Smokey and the Bandit
Trans Am - Night Rider
DeLoreon - Back to the Future
"Eleanor" '67 Mustang - Gone in 60 Seconds
Bullitt GT Mustang - Steve McQueen
Ford Falcon - Mad Max
Milner's 32 Duece Coupe - American Graffeti
Shaggin Wagon - Dumb and Dumber (had to include this for Lucky)
1970 Dodge Charger - Fast and the Furious
1948 Ford De Luxe "Greased Lightning" - Grease
1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Wanna add some others?

Hey why isn't the Lotus there if the DeLorean is? The Lotus is an actual real car {obviously noy submersible} but then the DeLorean doesnt come with the Time travel gizmo either...


My vote is the Red Lotus from "For Your Eyes Only"

 

[JugBR]

cant believe you guys forgot mr t. van !!!

 

[Njaco]

Good call Jsmecha! Forgot about the Super 7!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I really like the Aston Martin DBS in Casino Royaly.
