Is this '70 still at Universal Studios?

[bull]

I might be going to SoCal here in a few weeks and we might be going to Universal Studios for one day (the balance at Disneyland) and I'm just wondering if this F&F Charger is still there. Anyone know? Anyone here see it? Does it run?

It was there when I was there in 2005.

Last time I seen it... it was pretty rusty though if one looked close enough....

Shiny on the outside, rusty underneath. Sounds like a hlpag job.

It was still there as of last July (2006).  On display like in the pics, with a wrong-year 70's Bluesmobile cop car nearby.

Looked like a typical Hollywood buildup.  Like they bought a medium-shape project car off the street that was driveable but needed a big resto, and then they did quick n' dirty body job on it.  A good shot better than a HLPAG car, but you'd still be tearing it down and redoing it all later.

I'm not sure whether it was a real prop-car from the first F&F movie or not.  If it wasn't a real screen prop car, then it looked like might have been built by some of the same crew as the movie cars.  I got the strong impression that it was not just an outsourced copy from an unrelated car builder like George Barris or somebody.  It shared too many odd similarities with the actual movie cars.

I remember the year Blade came out they had the charger on the road with the Ozzfest tour.  It almost made me not want to see the movie.  It was FULL of bondo, had a horrid paint job, bad window tint, missing parts, and they claimed (as if it was something to brag) that it had a chebby powerplant.  ugh

Last time I was there it was still on display.

But to be honest its not much to look at..........

Still gotta be better than  looking at any of the ricers from that flick though.
