one for the fast & furious mob ! F&F 4 Charger

[Lennard]

  apples to oranges.  Back then there were plenty second generation chargers. They were manufacturing them all day every day.

To make all these cars less expensive and easier to repair quickly, they all used the same front clip and GM crate motors.

Yeah, movie cars are props, so they are built to save costs. The guy that builds them said he really wants to build on with a Gen 3 Hemi, he had a car set aside to do it, but they had to use it for one of the films, says he wants to get around to it someday.

They weren't manufacturing 2nd-gen Chargers in 1971.  NASCAR still wrecked them.  The roads were still full of Chargers in 1978 but people look back & complain about 'Dukes' wasting them by then.  


I don't think it's as different as the hobby pretends it is.  How many restorable Chargers were scrapped over the years, by just the guys on this forum alone?  

Collectively, the muscle car hobby acts like a bunch of former sluts who found Jesus.  Now we are the ones crying the loudest about the newer sluts.

Not sure what this guy paid but as you can see from the Barrett auctions, He's asking way to much.

Lol, yeah your right about that. This is the one I'd actually shoot for, except maybe the rims. But then it wouldn't be a 100% clone. I like the Lamborghini gray color

But then again my death proof clone doesn't have a roll cage.

Thanks tantop, I think with the values of the other movie cars present, this one is worth less than the hemi one. Which sold for around 52k. Maybe 35 - 40k.

I like the gray version of Vinnie's car too.  But few people in public would even recognize it as a F&F car.  


I like the glossy one best (except for the bumper & window trim being black).  It looks like you picture Dominic Toretto's Charger looking.  And it's a decent condition car in general.  It got a resto by a private owner mid-way through its F&F movie career which is unusual.

I love these movies, but I've often wondered why do they sell them when they're done filming?

There are three more F& F films in the que to be made. Why not put the built cars in storage between movies instead of chasing down 2nd gens, and thrashing to get them together in time?

[Mike DC]

   
Combination of factors.  And storing a bunch of cars behind fences with security is never free.       

Fast & Furious #2 and #3 didn't feature the Charger at all.  They seemed to total it in #4 and #5.  It didn't appear at all in #6.  (The maroon red Daytona was an unrelated car in the storyline.  The producers could just as easily have asked for a Superbird.)  They just don't know what the next movie will hold.

From what I know, the F&F supplier isn't in the habit of selling off ALL the Chargers/etc after each movie, just some.  The fact that people are always ready to pay so much for the used cars must factor into it too.  



After the Jessica Simpson DOH remake the producers held onto their remaining General Lees in anticipation of sequels that didn't happen.  They eventually made one more forgettable TV-movie and that's it.  The GLs were sold off after that.  

Warner Bros sent the first DOH movie crew a truckload full of Crown Vic police cars with "Gotham City PD" painted on the sides.  Warner Bros knew they would be doing another Batman movie soon.  This is just standard industry practice.
