Original Bullitt Charger Camera Car Listed For $1 Million

Posted on by

That’s right, $1,000,000 for a car the seller claims is the original Charger camera car used in the movie Bullitt, one of just two Chargers used in filming. I’m surprised it has hubcaps, seeing how the Charger lost eight hubcaps during the big chase scene. Anyway, check out the ad on Cars-On-Line and see what you think. There are links to stories that support the fact that the car was the camera car–one at ponysite.de and one at Jim’s Garage–based mostly on the fact that when the car was discovered in Tucson, Arizona, there were drill holes in the floor and trunk that seem to match up with those seen in still pics of the camera car back during the shoot. Honestly, I’m not convinced, but who knows. There is also a crummy video taken at SEMA two years ago after the jump. The price is firm, so don’t even think about a lowball…

Dodge Charger and Challenger Most Popular Muscle Cars

Posted on by

Most popular in terms of search traffic, anyway. That’s according to Cars-On-Line, who claims that 18.5% of buyers are searching for Chargers and 15.7% are searching for Challengers. This seems a bit high to me, but hey, there is no question that Chargers and Challengers are popular (nevermind the fact many people seem to confuse the two). I assume, too, that this would include late-model Chargers and Challengers. Anyway, I showed you that awesome Hemi Charger yesterday, so how about this beautiful purple 4-speed 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE, for sale via Cars-On-Line.

1971 Hemi GTX Factory Sunroof Car

Posted on by

This car was just featured in the May issue of Muscle Car Review. It is a very rare sunroof car and is absolutely loaded with options. In fact, the owner claims it is the most expensive Hemi car ever produced–sticker was $6,592.75 (base price on a 1971 Plymouth GTX was $3,737). More pics after the jump–all taken a while ago at the Las Vegas Mopars At The Strip. Via Moparts

Stunning 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda on eBay

Posted on by

The seller lists this heavily documented, fully restored Hemi ‘Cuda as “investment grade” and it seems to have everything going for it except the original engine. I love the Ivy Green Metallic with brown leather interior, but I’m guessing many collectors might find this combo less desirable than some of the high impact colors available that year. The car is listed at $189,900. Not chump change! More pics after the jump and be sure to check out the auction at eBay!

Update: didn’t make the reserve so it’s still on sale at the dealer’s website.

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1968 Dodge Charger from Blue Velvet

Posted on by

Frank Booth (played by Dennis Hopper) is one of the most menacing movie villains of all time. And he had a very menacing car: a 1968 Dodge Charger. Director David Lynch seems to favor Mopars for many of his movies and we’ll be sure to feature a bunch of them. For now check out the famous “joyride” scene after the jump! (I’ve also included the scene in Spanish, which starts a bit earlier and has more of the Charger.)
