Chargers in old TV shows

[nakita7]

We've watched all the seasons of Columbo, seen a 69 Charger a couple times, one was an R/T, a 68 Charger in full view, drove across the shot (had mismatched wheels) and in one episode Columbo sat in a 71 Challenger convertible that was black with white R/T stripes.

[Ghoste]

BTW Timinator, how are you grabbing those shots?

[timinator]

I've spotted lots of other cool cars too but the 2nd gen Charger shape always catches my eye even if it's just a split second shot. I have a DVR that records the show and then I burn it onto a DVD. I put the DVD in my computer and can capture a screen shot from that.

[69*F5*SE]

Wow, you've done a good job of spotting them Chargers.

Ever watch the old Manix series?  They used lots of Mopars.

yeah spotted 3 second generations in the original gone in 60 seconds ,  two 68 s &  one 69    

There's a 3rd gen.

in the first one 

[Ghoste]

Yes the original, sorry I wasn't too clear there was I?  And it would be more accurate to say there was a 3rd gen getting more than a background scene moment.

yeah well i think  73TXrally  ..is on about the original    , yes there was more than one 3 rd generation ...  off the top of my head as well as the sublime with decals getting crushed by the garbage truck , there was  another think sublime 73 , just before the cop car hits the boat on a trailer ,  ..must record that on to DVD so i can go frame by frame  properly 

[Blade_1]

Your set-top DVR's can transfer the vid's directly to your computer, and then with some native Windows apps, or even some 3rd party apps, you can playback frame x frame, without burnin' a disc...

Might need a screwdriver to do the transfer, if your DVR doesn't have a live port on back.

[Bremer]

It was not an old show but, the Barenaked Ladies used a 68' General Lee for thier "One Week" video.

[Daytona R/T SE]

In the Nicholas Cage version of "Gone in 60 seconds" In the scene where he's running from the cops in the prettied-up Falcon-errr-I'm sorry- Mustang,he passes a 71 Charger several times...

oh yeah  .. your right ...i remember it now    wasn't it a blue one 

[timinator]

Here's a blue 2nd gen from the original Vanishing Point. Right after he picked up the Challenger he drove by a used car dealership.

[69_500]

If I'm not mistaken there is a Green Charger 500 in the dealership window of the movie the Vanishing Point as well.

[tan top]

   think there is a 69  C500 ... Bronze ..parked out side the show room ..at Colorado Dodge  from memory  ........

[Ghoste]

Weren't there some screen shots of the VP 500 on here at one time, or maybe it was the old site?

hmmmm yeah your right Ghoste    ....i think it was on here  ....could of been the old site though     you just saw  the front & passanger side  ...for a bout 2 seconds ............................

[1969chargerrtse]

So I'm home board and I'm watching this 70's movie called "gas pump girls"  dumb comedy and what do I see towards the end?

[pettyfan43]

In the original "Gone" the Green car you see really early in the chase is the same one you see with the black panels, look at the wheels.

They just painted the flat black stuff for the garbage stunt.

[timinator]

A Charger BEHIND a police car? That's a first!

[timinator]

Ok, it's not a real car, but I thought this was clever. There's a model train program on a local channel and I caught this flipping thru channels. Somebody made a train set with a yellow Charger at a railroad crossing. A coincidence or an obvious reference to Dirty Mary Crazy Larry? It's a Daytona but I'm sure we have a closet Charger fan! I thought it was kind of funny.
