Whereabouts in Upstate NY - I'm in Syracuse - anywhere near there? I'd love to go out and take a look at it.


this car is in Rouses Pt. NY Looks pretty nice from what i can see, ive been waiting to get the chance to stop and talk to him when I see him outside next time. Its right before we cross over the border so i have a chance to stop but some people get a little pissed when you park a smelly freight train next to there house, i guess well see.

Is that right on Rt 11.? I'm guessing (from your description) north of Rouses Point and the Rt. 2 intersection (bridge to Vermont), just before the border?

That's pretty cool because its the same route we took to pick up my Charger back in '02 - a barn find out of Vermont.

Mine is close. I used to have the slots but removed them about a two years ago for the magnums. I never went with the stripe but the movie car did serve as the inspiration.

The color is the same but looks a bit different in the pics.

Its the best charger movie made in my opinion.

:yesnod: The Cap'n agrees wholeheartedly...it's the one that started my love affair with the Dodge Charger back in 79 when it was being shown on the local tv station saturday afternoon theatre...

I'd like to do the paint job on my 68. But not sure how the stripe would look with round side markers on each end. I guess I could just fill in the side maker holes.

Great film. The guy that built the clone charger did a great job, but he forgot one thing, the air temp decals in the rear windows. Look at the film and you'll see them.  ;D

THE CHARGER PUNK

actually he forgot a few things such as as stated the a/c window sticker,vinyl top trim,no headrests and the car in the movie had the basic black steering wheel not the sport wood one.-MATT oh and the cb radio of course   ;D

terrible one

Just what I was thinking. I would like to do the wheels and paint scheme with the strip on teh '68 but I don't know how that would look with the side markers.

I seem to recall no turn signal lites were mounted in the hood. Somebody told me the color was 1971 Y3 Citron yellow. Anybody know if that was write?

I read it was a color called "Limelight" - a yellow/green - after I heard that, I assumed it was aftermarket. I do know the paint stripe down the side was placed there by the film crew.

so whens the remake of the movie gonna come out?

Bullit_68

I love that car. When i was a kid i saw that movie at the drive in when it first came out.Thats what got me hooked on mopars and mostly Chargers.If i ever get a 69 i really want to make a clone but for now i,m making a 1/18 th die cast one.

I've always been surprised that ERTL didn't do a DMCL diecast.  They had the tooling and they've done everything else in 69 Chargers.  All they had to do was get permission to do the box art.

The color of the movie car is citron yella (curious yellow GY3).

Same as my car. It does photograph a little different, though.

I don't think I'd call them a pinhead.  I kind of like it and it's a refreshing change from all the GL's (not an attack on GL's, just a personal opinion of taste).
