Did you see the thread about black Chargers? I thought you already knew where they all were?

this movie has a great line where the cop that owns the black charger tells his deputy why he needs to use his own car to catch the challenger - "It takes a mopar to catch a mopar!"

then he goes out and wrecks it...

[694spdRT]

It was reported that they wrecked a ratty one and not the "good" one.

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

yeah they did wreck one. not a ratty one though it was a blue non #'s match 68 charger r/t and the other car was a triple black #'s match 68 charger r/t. also in the driving scenes with the cops inside the charger it shows that they are not in it because you can see the end of the challenger hood and the car is flat black and you can also see the challenger style window and the high back seats. i wonder why they painted the chally flat black instead of mounting cam equipment on the charger.-MATT

The owner of the 68 R/T charger in the V.P. remake movie claims he has the original movie R/T car and is located in Nevada.   I had my 68 r/t out one day and he came up to me....told me he owned the actual movie car....He mentioned that it was being restored in Boulder City Nevada...I've yet to see the car...but the source seems reliable.

I've only seen a part of the V.P. remake.  I have the original on DVD.  I was a bit dismayed at myself and Cinemax, as I programmed our DVR to record the newer film very late, one night before going to bed.  When I sat down to watch the recording last night- the original was the one recorded!!! Damn! 

[Charger_Fan]

Damn, Troy!!
Now I have to wipe off my screen, keyboard, confuzer stand, wall...my shirt, legs...YEESH!

Ok, after the 2nd Punk post, now I'm gonna have to log off soon & go watch it.


Afflyer, that sucks! The copy I've got is one my brother recorded for me the first time it aired on TV...what a pal, huh? I might have to get the DVD soon, so I've got a better quality recording, though.

I know the guy who has all the challengers left from filming the remake, they made 6 units for filming, 1 was destroyed, 1 was a half car mounted on trailer, 1 was the main car, then 1 backup for main, 1 stunt car, 1 backup stunt car. he had the 2 main 1 stunt and the half car. None had hemi's although he restored the #1 car to a correct hemi clone, 2 he left in as filmed condition, they both are in Floyd Garrett's muscle car museum. I remember him saying on car was actually a 73 with a 70 tail and front grafted on. Sorta thrown together like the Duke's Chargers. He sells used moparts, They bought alot of parts from him while building the cars for the movie, and He bought them after filming. never heard what happen to the 3X black chargers though.

I know I have said this before. But if you watch in the begining when they walk thru the shop. You will see a lighted sign sitting on a table. It has a big penta star on it. I made that sign back in the early 80's. There were 6 or 8 of them. Also some of those cars belong to old friends of mine.

[Stormhammer]

care to make more of those lightup pentastars? I think it'd look badass in the garage 

[Charger_Fan]

also in the driving scenes with the cops inside the charger it shows that they are not in it because you can see the end of the challenger hood and the car is flat black and you can also see the challenger style window and the high back seats.

Hmmm, sure enough! It's really noticeable when they show inside shots of Kowalski & the cops back to back.
Wierd.
