Fast & Furious 7

[Surf Charger]

A few of the cars that will be in Fast & Furious 7 due out Juneish of next year. One of my buddy's old college friends is a producer for the movie, so he let him come out and play when they were shooting in GA. He told me "not sure you want to see what ends up happening to these Mopars though."

Nice, lots of Mopars there.

[1974dodgecharger]

Wow they are going all out on the mopars.....

And again Hollywood trashes Mopars for a buck.  This cartoon series needs to wreck the ricers and leave the classics alone.

well lettys plymouth is making a comeback.. about 7 comebacks

[tan top]

   more wrecked mopars coming up I think !!     don't know what they have to wreck them

good pictures thanks for posting 

[Surf Charger]

He had some other pictures with a few more mopars in the background...another couple of roadrunners...and I did see a few newer style challengers. I agree in that I wish they would bash up the ricer cars and leave these alone.

[Mikesmoparperformance]

Awesome!!! Roadrunner is coming back!

But people don't like ricers. Even the people who own them don't like them. Not saying I like to see classic Mopars being destroyed but I do like seeing them being put through the paces on film. You know, whip marks on the haunches but not a broken leg.

every one of these cars that  i'v seen a write up on has been a Frankenstein with a chev motor anyway  even the Jensen  letty drives in 6 is a hack job no interior chev engine etc  .I just don't get it why put the classics in these movies and then hack them up 

[WHITE AND RED 69]

I'm glad they went back to gloss black but why aren't the roadrunners silver? The Hammer roadrunner looked so much better!

Whats worse, seeing them crash on screen? Or hearing about them rotting away on someones property while they say "one day I'll restore it" or refuse to sell. Then next thing they know a tree grew through it and what's left of it is sold for scrap. Both suck but I personally would rather see a car driven hard and crashed then watch it have a slow painful death.

Luckily the ones they wreck are filled with bondo, AMD panels, and have chevy motors.     What else can you do with chargers with no vin tags?

[Ghoste]

I'd say its about the same.  One is destroyed through negligence and the other is destroyed for a buck.

[hatersaurusrex]

Better start documenting now, so in 40 years whoever's still on DC.com can argue over how many movie cars were used when one of these turns up in a backyard somewhere

Yeah mate, sbc's or not, the public dont know, all they see are are prime era Mopar muscle being beaten on.
Cool, I'd rather see cars that I admire being trotted out for another generation to see and learn about than some gen x /y jap nothing car .
Got to admire 40+ year old cars being more immortalised in a modern car chase movie either way.

Your buddy is friends with a producer on the F&F series?  Man that seems like a fun job even if it is a lot of work.

I don't really blame them for dealing with these cars the way they do.  Most fans don't understand what it's like trying to run a modern film production like that.  The cars are small pieces in a very big complex machine.

[Ghoste]

It may be complex but I still hate seeing them destroy classic cars for the cheap thrill of the masses.

I agree.... They should make a universal chassis/sub structure that they can bolt or weld AMD panels too and crash that. Use the originals for the close ups and not destroy them for a 10 sec audience thrill

How about an big rollcage with an aftermarket drivetrain.  Aftermarket axle, suspension, seats, dashboard, steering column, pedals . . . that's what their dedicated stunt cars look like right now.  


Most of their '70 Chargers (and all the Daytonas) have already been wearing fiberglass front clips for the last 3 movies, rather than hunting for original 1970 sheetmetal.

Watch at about 0:08 seconds into this (F&F#4) clip, the Charger rams a truck and the fiberglass RF fender comes right off.  Look again at about 0:34 and you can see the 1970 front bumper is cracked-up fiberglass.

[Ghoste]

Thats the right diection.

I wanna know where I can get the parts after they are trashed. With that many on the set, I'm sure I could pick up enough good parts off the carcasses to help out my cause quite nicely.

Yes, my good friend went to college with the producer of this particular F&F film....he was storing all of the vehicles down in atlanta for the shoot. I'm sure its a fun job to some point. But every job ends up being a job eventually!

Sobering Fact:  Anyone born since 1990 is only vaguely aware of The General Lee, probably have never heard of DMCL or Bullitt, and probably think only of Vin Diesel when they think of old school muscle cars and are 90% sure his car is a Chevelle.

They put Generic Motors 350s in them for standardization and cost effectiveness. If every car on the set has the same engine you just buy 10 identical replacement belts, ten sensors, ten dist. caps, etc. Otherwise the techs would be racing around town trying to find a power steering pump for a 70 Dodge 383, a water pump for a 69 Ford 351, and so on.

[F8-4life]

Let  all the mopars get destroyed, the destruction will be immortalized on film and in the long run help with the next generations appreciation for the cars.
Small price to pay.
