The Deathproof Charger

[Ghoste]

For as much as we rehash the DOH and F&F Chargers, we really discuss this one very little.  Does anyone know how many they used or where they came from or where they went after filming?  Any details about them?  It was a "them" and not an "it" I assume?

[Baldwinvette77]

theres a couple threads here, i think it was 7, 1 member has the main stunt car, all the cars are in Sweden, 1 got turned into a 68 GL 

[Ghoste]

Oh?  I missed all of that.  Never mind mind then I'll look it up, I honestly thought it hadn't been discussed.

I got the Blu ray lol....

Maybe someone could link those threads here.

I think it's a bad-ass car. Didn't one or two of them get re-used for Drive Angry? same flat black/vector rims.

Death Proof is the movie that made me stop being a dreamer, and made me just go ahead and get a Charger...always had a love for a 2nd gen since being a little kid having seen Dukes of Hazzard, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Bullitt....

Me too. That's also why mine looks like the death proof car. Mean looking.

P.S. Stuntman Mike *did* have two cars in the film. Check out the insane cage I had to build for his Nova! 

Also note the display stand I'm building for it...

[Baldwinvette77]

Dayum.....   i was going to build a scale model, but then one thing led to another, and now im building a full size version  

But those are freaking awesome   would like to see the nova stand when its done  

[lukedukem]

Those models are sweet. Are you planning to sell any of them. Would like to get a model to match my car. I did get the one from TSC but it's not as good as yours

I made a total of five. First, my own car, then a batch of four more that I simplified down a bit and sold via eBay. Got between $90 and $150 each for them. Just about quadrupled my investment in them, which worked out nicely.

I don't think I want to get into uilding anymore of those cages, as they were grueling to do. But point me to pics of your car and I'll see what is possible.
