A BRONX TALE CHARGER......ALMOST BOUGHT !!!! ANYONE SEEN ?

[69 OUR/TEA]

Back in 97,while searching for a 69 Charger,found one in the local newspaper listed as the "bronx tale charger".Went to look at the car,in Newington,CT,if I remember correctly it was B3 blue,318 car.The guy had documentation of being in the movie,which I never seen,and was asking $5,500.00 .This movie has been on alot lately,and just as I turned it on it was almost the end,and there was the scene with the car parked on the side of the street with the two young actors standing next to.Was told the car appears a couple of times during the movie.Just thought it was neat to actually see and possibly almost purchase this car.Anyone see or know what has happened with this car?On another note,my 68 Coronet 440 almost made it into a Stephen Speilburg movie being filmed in brooklyn last fall as a backdrop car.A friend of mine has an acquaintence that gets the cars to be in videos,commercials,and even movies.They needed original looking cars between 62 to 69.When I was given the info,I did a photo shoot of my car,e-mailed the guy,but  just missed the opportunity as I was a couples days to late,they just filled the spots.They were to pay you $250.00 a day to be there with your car,and if they used it in a shot they payed you $500.00 a day.Thought it would have been cool to possibly see my car in a Speiburg movie.Oh well.

Wow! That car appears through the movie quite often. I always wondered what happened to it. My dad was from the Newington area. Crazy to hear it went to that area.

What's the title of the Spielberg movie being filmed in Brooklyn, NY? Just curious.

Hey Jim,I'm up in Berlin.

[JimShine]

Very cool! My grandfather Bill Shine had a auction house in Berlin well into the 70's and my uncles took it over. Not sure how long or if it lasted, but it was there for a good 25 or so years!

Thats neat,I have only lived here since 89,originally from New Britain.

[JimShine]

My dad used to take me to New Britian. I remember on my 5th birthday he took me to Amatos toys to buy me a Lionel train set. He said that was where his dad used to take him to buy his toys.
