i love these chargers, the deathproof chargers and the matte fast and furious ones look evil 

I don't think that car is worth 180k but at the same time, im sure theres plenty of rich fast and furious fans.

but when you consider how stripped the car is, and the use of fiberglass, you could build one for 10k

Interesting...
Pull the pins and hinge the blower up. 


Value? I have no idea, it's a movie car, hard to say.  I mean maybe if I was multi millionaire Vin Diesel, I'd like to have it.

Not worth $180,000.  But these cars are too unique to pin a clear number on it.  

Building it would be cheap but still way over $10k.  Solid Charger unibody + big custom cage + newish drivetrain + Ford 9" + 4-wheel discs + custom fake electric-powered blower housing + big aftermarket wheels/tires.




I don't recall the relocated leafs & tubbed rear wheelwells being done in the movie.  Scratch that.  It may have been done for the movie after all.

I'd was looking for a 70 to do a clone of this car but decided not to for the moment.  It would be nice to park this along side my death proof clone, but not at that price.

Replicating it might get a little easier in another movie or two.  

The car supplier is getting so tired of hunting for overpriced solid Charger shells that he's considering a DIY version.  Mapping out some templates so his fabrication guys can build the undercarriages from square tubing.  

He's already using RMS suspensions (both front and rear) on some of the stunt Chargers in the last few movies.  And the off-road version in #7 was a stock Charger roof & sides with a tube chassis underneath.

Not the same car
The Barrett Jackson one is the #2 hero car this guy is selling #1. The Barrett Jackson one sold in 2013 for 95.7k and then 2016 for 93.5k.

Not sure what this guy paid but as you can see from the Barrett auctions, He's asking way to much.

Nice info Mike, thanks. Yeah the #7 cars you could tell there wasn't much but body parts from the car.

Vinnie's Charger has been so varied over the last 7 movies that there's hardly anything consistent to replicate.  

It's a black 1970 Charger with a stripped-down & rollcaged interior.   It usually (but not always) has a big shiny blower sticking through the hood.  The wheels are usually big & shiny.  The car is way more Summit catalog parts than stock.  That's about as specific as you can get.  

[lukedukem]

Lol, yeah your right about that. This is the one I'd actually shoot for, except maybe the rims. But then it wouldn't be a 100% clone. I like the Lamborghini gray color

But then again my death proof clone doesn't have a roll cage.

wow that's not a bad price with that HEMI....

[VegasCharger]

Anyone notice the "1968" on the title

[Baldwinvette77]

Anyone notice the "1968" on the title

i saw that too, but the doors look like they have 1969/70 holes for where the lock knobs would go 

[lukedukem]

Yep, converted to '70s. The ones I listed links for are '69s converted to 70 as well. Guess they couldn't find many 70s at the time so they used these instead.
Yeah, the one with the hemi was a pretty good deal

To make all these cars less expensive and easier to repair quickly, they all used the same front clip and GM crate motors.

At what point does it cease even being a Charger? To my mind is a car that looks a bit like a Charger....because of the shell....but is it? No Charger engine....not even a Mopar engine....no Charger interior etc etc etc. And then to take a desirable 68 year model and turn it into a 70....(sorry no offence to 70 owners but I'm not a fan!). To my mind it has very little value as a Charger and only has value to film memorabilia  collectors as a movie prop. Everything about it looks bodged and cheap IMO. And as for that fake blower.....well that halves the value for a start . Can you even begin to imagine the piss taking at any decent car rally!??

[Lennard]

It's a "show" car, not a go car.

Buy a muscle car 40 years ago.  Strip it down to bare metal, rebuild it with generic & racer parts, and then beat it to death on a racetrack in front of a crowd.  

Muscle car fans love you for it.  Decades later they will honor your achievements & document every detail of your cars.  




Buy the same muscle car 10, 20, or 40 years later.  Strip it down to bare metal, rebuild it with generic & racer parts, and beat it to death in front of a movie theater crowd.  

The same fanbase gripes at you for wasting a perfectly good muscle car.
