Triple Black 1968 Charger R/T needed for BULLITT Promo photoshoot...

Darn!  The chance of a lifetime comes along and my Triple Black car is not ready for prime time...  :brickwall:  With 30 year old cracking lacquer paint, its just not ready for a high quality photoshoot!

I just got a call from Rich Bolzenius who is putting on the Aero Car Show in  conjunction with this year's Monster Mopar Weekend.  As part of the 3-4 day event prior to MM, there is going to be a promotional photoshoot with the company doing a remake of the movie "BULLITT"!

The perfect match would be a Triple Black 1968 Charger R/T (real or clone), but non R/T triple black 1968 Chargers may be considered...

If you are interested in having your triple black Charger considered for the September 2008 photoshoot in the St Louis area, contact:

Rich Bolzenius - (636) 583-8161 for more information & consideration for the photoshoot

The Charger used will NOT be harmed in any way...

If my Charger was ready to show, you would not be reading this thread!  :'(

BTW, thanks to Sherri, Gene, & others for thinking of my Charger for the photoshoot opportunity... AND to Rich for the call to offer!

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Is the photo shoot going to be a couple of days before the show? Or possibly on the Friday? Just curious.

Congratulations from me too! That's awesome and I guess the fact that they look for the Charger for a photo shoot shows that the remake WILL be a CAR-GUYS-MOVIE! Yeah!

I would love to see my car in a photoshooting like that! Yes, I'm jealous!  :2thumbs:

If it was on the Thursday before the show, I would come for sure. Don't think I could talk my work into a 5 day weekend on that week, as I won't have any vacation time left by then. And yeah if it was on the Thursday I'd even bring a video camera to tape it for you if you wanted.

For accurancy they'll have to take many seperate photographs of the car - - missing a wheel cover at each of the four corners!  :icon_smile_big:  I heard that the movie car lost a wheel cover something like 11 different times during the filming.

I counted 8 hubcaps ;-)

They kept on putting them back on the car all the time during filming. Read that in an interview somewhere.
