Whats you Fav movie car.? or TV series?

Mine has alway been "MadMax" but since then, ??:hmmm:

,I like "The Punishers" GTO, AND the car he got at the END .( green 69 RR). Hope he still has it in the sequal.
Wasnt a big "Dukes of Hazzard" fan. but great car. The MOVIE did a better job.
The "Starsky and Hutch " Torino , tried hard, but didnt get it.
The Fastback Mustang, Bullet did a good job, in wanting one. catagory? Along w/ the BADASS BLACK CHARGER.!!

(PS"you all know that in all the jump /air scenes in "the bullet". the mustang had to have its front suspension rebuilt evey time.!!
The Charger's lasted every take.
 
I like the "old school" hot rods. Like in American Graffiti :cool:

This latest fad of all the power this-n-that and billet brackets just doesn't get it with me.

They forgot to put the Hot in hot rod. :(
 
The black paint that George Barris laid onto the 1966 Batmobile. While I liked the style of the basic Futura more than the zootish and campish custom it was turned into. But the black paint on that car went on for days. When the second, third and fourth fiberglass stand ins started cracking they covered the cars in "bat fur" to hide the cracks. An icicle through the heart.
Drag-U-La was neat.
Green Hornet's Black Beauty was slick.
Dean Jefferies/George Barris Monkeemobile was a neat concept but it got tagged to a lame ass show and suffered from idioticy of association. Well the gaudy wheel opening fake trumpet exhausts and the accouterments added to the blower to make it look ????? could have said goodbye. The original had a functioning blower - the blowers on the two clones made for as filming vehicles were fake.

This scene followed by it's smoldering hulk rolling back into the garage gave me chills....Sweet!

Mr340, I liked the M4S in the Wraith as well, but of course the original Vanishing Point Challenger ranks as my favorite of all time, with the black '65 Plymouth and '41 Willys coupe from "Catch Me if You Can" taking honorable mention. Pure attitute award is shared by the Willys and the '55 Chevy in "Two Lane Blacktop" (or, going by plot, "Too Lame Blacktop").
 
By far the VP Challenger. I also dig the Two Lane 55, and also when the car got painted black for Graffitti. Straight axles are just cool. I guess, despite how rough it was, I also liked the Blade Charger.
 
the Vanishing Point Challenger, as well as the 71 Imperial Kowalski drives at the start of the movie. Milner's Ford in one of my all-time favorite movies American Graffitti, and Christine. After seeing that movie, I can't fathom why anyone would think the Chevies of that era were better looking. That Fury is drop dead gorgeous!

The 32 Chrysler Deluxe we've got in the shop was supposedly used in the opening scenes of The Untouchables movie. Apparently the owner has documentation to prove it.
 
Wraith
falcon xb(mad max)
rubber duck (late 60s black mack truck)
no specific order...just always wanted those 3
 
BATMOBILE.. MUNSTERMOBILE..

DRAGULA probably one of my favorite episodes... I still remember the SFX of Granpa wrenching in the Munster garage and the coffin roaring out of there!

Speed Racer's X-1 The Green Hornet's Chrysler!!
 
MUNSTERMOBILE was cool I made the model when the show was out..
But my #1 has to be VP challenger
#2 Wraith
#3 Milner's Deuce Coupe ( yes it is ford but I am from modesto so I have to love American Grafitti )
#4 Cuda from Nash Bridges

So far I'm with ya on all of these cars but the first car I ever fell in love with was the General Lee but as far as choosing a fave tv/movie car.......I can't figure it out! That's like asking me to say what my favorite song is. No way to sort through and pick just one. I kinda liked the "Avenger" in the tv series Viper though. Seems to me the Coyote from Hard Castle and McCormick shoulda made someones list too....even if it is just a kit car. I used to like the new Elanor from Gone in 60 secs but way too over done on the new 'Stains and killed what I felt for the big screen car. The Goblin rig from Max Overdrive was kinda cool too, if not for looks alone. Can't think of any others that havent already been mentioned:huh:
 
after working on one of the wraith cars at college i wasnt really impressed. cool styling, but a huge pile of steaming 72 fury monkey dung.

Ive always had a thing for Milners coupe in american graffiti, its my all time favorite car.
other than that the general lee was something that got me into mopars when i was younger, and i still like that car as well.

the munster mobile was cool too.
 
1974 Dodge Monaco from the Blues Brothers. :giggedy:

Then there is all the classic iron in those Adam-12 shows, the SWAT vehicle in one episode was a 1968 Satty wagon! :dance:
 
damn you fishy...remind me of the avenger...definatly one to my list....but you know me i like the odd ones
