I'm a big fan of the Fast and Furious movies. O.K., so I'm a fan of any film that has American Muscle cars in it.

My favorite car of the series is the supercharged black 1970 Dodge Charger. Man what a mean looking machine!

1968 Dodge Charger, The Fast & The Furious Universal, 2001.
440 ci with automatic transmission, black on black, prop blower. It cracked me up that none of the other buyers believed me when I told them the supercharger wasn't real. I mean there wasn't even a belt attached to a pulley - in fact there wasn't even a pulley!

This is the stunt car used in the final motorcycle chase and street-race scene between Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.

The back story is that Diesel’s father had built the car up to “900 horsepower of Detroit muscle,” but that he had never driven it because he was afraid of it – apparently with good reason. As you can see, the dash board is not the way it appeared in the film. It's much more tricked out.

This was not the car that was flipped and crashed, but rather the car used for the motorcycle street chase and final drag race scene.

1970 Dodge Challenger, 426 Hemi, 2 Fast 2 Furious Universal, 2003.

A feature car in the Mopar Collector's Guide, this car represents over $50,000 in parts alone. Painted 'Go Mango' orange, with a black vinyl top and black interior the interior of this car features rally gauges with Tic Toc Tach, and American Racing torque thrust mags. Under the hood is a built 426 Hemi with two Carter AFB's built by 'Hemi George'.

This car has been on tour since year one and shown at the 'Spring Fling' in Van Nuys. Furthermore, it was just viewed at Mopar on the strip in Las Vegas. This car was used extensively in the blockbuster movie '2 Fast 2 Furious' as both a 1st and 2nd unit car by actors and stunt drivers. This car appears in the street-race sequence in which Walker and Tyrese run the fed-supplied and fed-bugged Japanese supercars against them for pink slips, in order to get some clean wheels for the final climactic race with the money to the kingpin’s yacht. It was presented in great shape for the movie, and then completely refitted by Ted Moser and his staff at the Picture Car Warehouse with the Hemi and new transmission after the movie wrapped.

When was the last time you saw a car with this engine badge on the road?

I love the way in the film the Challenger was made to look like a four speed manual. As you can plainly see in my photo there is NO clutch pedal! What kinda looks like a clutch pedal is actually the parking break! Ah, the magic of Hollywood!
