Pic of the fast and the furious charger in Herbie Fully Loaded

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

finally found of pic of her

[Drache]

That still confuses me to this day... the volo museum was selling that car for $50,000 U.S. and yet then it ends up looking like that in this movie and from there disappears entirely. Did the Herbie crew purchase the car?! I can't believe they would spend that much for a background car when they could easily find a smashed Charger anywhere!

was herby produced by the same people as fast and the furious? if so they probably couldn't sell the car for the 50k they wanted so they just ended up keeping it to use as props in other movies

[Drache]

The Volo Museum had purchased the car outright from the movie company. It used to be all over their website and then one day up and disappeared without a word on what happened to it.

Whats the proof that its the same car?

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

It looks like the same car because it has a rollbar, rear racing slicks and it has the same visable damage the F&F car had but theres no ACTUAL proof.

[TruckDriver]

Looks like it to me. If you look at the hood real close in the center, it looks like it had a hood scoop/fake blower mounted to it at one time.

Ummm, what? 

[Drache]

When the car was in the museum even though they had polished it, the car was rusty! There was no interior and the hood had the hole cut out to fit a blower so it's not the same hood.

thats not the f&f Charger, I'm pretty sure there was significant roof damage at the drivers front pillar. Need to see some pics to be 100%

[69bronzeT5]

I couldnt find any pics of it but I did find this picture which I like very much

[venom04]

Doesn't look like the same car.

[1BAD68]

I was wrong, there wasn't alot of damage to the front pilar see video...

It's the same car. The one at Volo was in the movie as well.

[Drache]

The only thing I can think of is that the one at Volo was the actual jump car, and that the one in Herbie was the one that had Vin climb out of....

Vin Diesel climbed out of the actual jump car, and I am 99% sure that car was at Volo, so right now it looks like that herbie car is the real thing

The "Herbie F/L" car is probably legit.   

The actual F&F Charger stunt car was definitely still sitting untouched in a movie-car storage lot in Los Angeles as of April of 2004. 
I knew a guy who was trying to work out a deal to buy the car.  He saw it in person at the lot at this time.  I saw a few photos from the trip, and the F&F car looked basically unchanged from the end of the movie. The windshield glass was smashed worse and there was surface-rust on the rollcage bars but nothing major.

"Herbie F/L" was shooting in 2004.
Volo didn't show up with the car until at least late 2004, maybe 2005.  They definitely only rolled one 1970 Charger for F&F and the timeline works.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And by the way, Vinnie did climb outta the real stunt car in the movie. 

The '70 Chargers in F&F all had rollcages, but there were additional bars on the stunt car.  The easiest ones to see are the double main hoops.  You can also see a pair of extra little vertical bars tucked behind the doors' chrome vent-window posts.  (But the stunt car later had the vent-window verticals cut away at some point.  They were gone by the time Volo put it on display.)

[charger_mike75]

Yeah the door, fender, and roof all look different... 

I DO know that if it was the Volo car they had to replace to hood because the Charger in the Volo had the hole cut into the hood for the blower. I dont think it is the same car, why replace body panels on a destroyed car with body panels that are less destroyed but still damaged?

[charger_mike75]

kinda makes ya wonder where the charger in herbie came from
