NYC Filming

[teamroth]

Hey guys,
I work  in NYC, and on my way to work this morning, I saw that they were filming across the street. I work on wall street, and they do film there quite often, so I usually pay no attention to what's going on. But as I pulled around the corner I see this cherry 69 Chevelle SS sitting there, I thought of you guys, and then I run smack into this beautiful Superbee,(not physically) and an Impala, and two Satellites. I went back out to snap pics as soon as I could, and these were the only ones out at the time. Apparently the show is called Life on Mars, about a cop stuck back in time. I don't know if it's been on yet, but at any rate there will be some cool cars to look at when it is.

Enjoy,
Thad

With a car like that Satellite on a curb in Wall Street, they've gotta be filming something for the time period.  That's not just gonna be a modern-day character with a classic ride.

[teamroth]

You're right Mike, the gist of the story is something along the lines of the cop goes back in time for whatever reason, and gets stuck there. It's a remake of a british show, where the guy gets hit by a car, and wakes up in 1973. I just looked it up, never saw the pilot which aired in October. wiki...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars_(TV_series)

  we have been watching it and this thread covers it already , thanks for the pictures 

[teamroth]

Thanks Stewart, I figured as much. Too many cool cars for someone here not to have seen it. I am going to sneak out here in a minute and see if i can sneak some more pictures.

Pretty cool!  Wonder whos Coronet that was

[teamroth]

Ran out and grabbed some more a few minutes ago. 69 you are right it is a Coronet, I thought so this morning, but couldn't tell. Notice the missing bee on the stripe and grill.

[teamroth]

dos mas

Plus the fact that there were no convertible Super Bees  

I think the Coronet is this guy.....

  That coronet scooped hood has been in several back ground shots in the show already .  They resume new show the end of january .

[teamroth]

It's a nice car, but man 85 g's? Not saying it isn't worth it, but that's heavy!

[Hemidog]

Cool

Doesn't the chrome trim on the rear 1/4 panel scallop mean it's a Coronet 500?

thats what i was thinking also , a plain 500 convert some one has dressed up to look like an R/T

Stewart,
you are correct, it says 500 on the side, not sure about the R/T part. Don't know if you guys saw what 6T9 posted. Here's the ad, not sure if you can tell from there. But the owner says 1 of 12 survivng cars.

I could be wrong but i thought the fresh air hood was only avalible on an R/T or Super bee ( no super bee converts avalible)   

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

If you notice the engine pic in the ad there is no under hood ductwork to make the scoops functional.....these are just an add on as I dont believe they were available on the base models just as you suspected

[Charger_Fan]

85 THOUSAND DOLLARS?? Cripes!

Looks like someone made the seatbacks more "buckety" than they usually are...or am I wrong?

[teamroth]

Some good cathes here guys, do you think he is just trying to cash in on the classic car scam? I hadn't noticed the scoops, just the hefty price tag...

[moparstuart]

those cars are extremely rear in a convert , but that is still way over priced .

That or they just appear incorrect because the head restraints are missing. I'm pretty sure restraints were mandatory for the 1970 model year.

[Mike DC]

I think we're looking at a different car's front bench seat entirely.  It's just been upholstered to look like the stock one for this car as much as possible.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Yes, the closer I look at them its obvious they're not correct!  They almost look like those barrel chairs people bought years ago for their homes.

[Brock Samson]

 '70s jag XJs have seats like that...

[teamroth]

could they be original, and he just had them customed to his liking, not thinking about resale, but personal preference?  or are they definitely not original?

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Besides the seatbacks not being the correct shape/contour, the dead giveaway that its not a bench seat for a '70 Coronet is the fold down center section.

[RJS]

I've seen that car For Sale for well over a year+.  The price is laughable!!!  Seen it on the show a few times. Still cool to see but very incorrect. That particular car is now worth about 185,000 since it's a star!!!

[moparstuart]

it's back on , the coronet convertible was on tonight again

[WINGR]

I saw it too, what a cool show. I think that I may have a crush on the Policewoman named Annie. Ssssh, I don't want the wife to find out. Good thing she's not on the forum too.
