Very cool car, and I love the Fast and Fuious franchise, but I would NEVER take that car anywhere until the rat motor and fake blower were taken off of it.  That's just plain embarrassing IMO...

Creative way of mounting the blower

[cincyboy]

I agree a huge fan (even after 4 but don't tell anyone) but you could build 4 of those cars for that amount with a Chevy drivetrain.

it was watching them tbone a charger in the 5th movie that made me want to get one, after i saw the behind the scenes of what they typically start with i found one in similar condition

Funny how Myk and I feel the same way most of the time.This guy is somehow linked into my brain.
Hey Myk...what number am I thinking of right now?

While I agree with you in principle, as a point of record, it's a "Mouse Motor" and not a "Rat Motor".    Mouse = small block. Rat = Big Block.

I honestly didn't know that!

Is that in reference to which rodent's turds you usually find inside?

Jesus... If thats the case, i really don't look forward to finding a 426 "elephant" motor

I'm here to help

wow.....

That one is really nicely detailed for a stunt car. I wonder if the carpet and trim was put in afterwards. I wasn't expecting door panels, carpeting, nice paint, etc.

The guy behind the shop building these said they've been using fiberglass fenders and hoods since the 4th movie, I wonder if this has a set. Fitment looks pretty good for fiberglass if so.

I have to say, I'd love to own it.

[Baldwinvette77]

so.. Can anyone explain the bigass turn signal switch?

That car has been redone since it was filmed.  Paint, interior, etc.  They kept the idea of the movie appearance but some details are nicer.



I dunno if that front end is fiberglass or not.  

I recall the F&F car supplier guy once saying he was very pleased with the fit of the 'glass panels they were using.  On the other hand this car has a chrome front bumper.  The painted front bumpers started showing up around the same time they started using 'glass.  


They've gone back and forth on the Charger's details a bunch of times in the last several movies.  The whole car alternates between flat & glossy.  In the 5th movie it even had a flat hood without any blower sticking up.

Take that bow tie engine out of it for a Mopar motor and I'd rock that for sure. There's just something wrong with putting a Chevy engine in a Mopar though.

For sure, But considering this was a stunt car, and it had a good chance of being destroyed i can see why they just threw a chevy in it, but that was 6 years ago, they had plenty of time to convert it

It's probably still got the movie's Ford 9" rearend too.  But that doesn't seem to make everyone so annoyed.

I can see the reasoning for the generic mill. If the idiot mechanics are only familiar with one type of engine, and most of the stunt vehicles are equipped with that engine, they can stock 20 each of fuel pumps, alternators and starters and rarely see any down time. You can buy those GM 350s at Wal-Mart for $39.95, right?

lol.. actually.. if you move the decimal place over a bit, you're right on target.  I'm not a big F&F fan, but they used Year One crate motors in all their cars (not just the stunt vehicles) just to keep the cost down and make it easy on themselves.
