1970 Plymouth Fury Suburban on eBay

1970 Furys have the most menacing grille of any car ever. So what could me more awesome than a mean green 1970 Plymouth Fury Suburban wagon? You could fit your entire house in this thing. The seller claims it only has 62,000 miles. And it’s powered by a 402 crate motor. Sounds like it needs a few things sorted out, but man I want this. Ad text and tons more pics after the jump! The eBay auction ends on Wednesday.

Update: looks like the C-barge got bid up to $7,700 but reserve not met!

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1970 Dodge Challenger from Death Proof

Tarantino loves to reference other movies in his films, and the white 1970 Dodge Challenger from Death Proof overtly referenced the Challenger from Vanishing Point. All E-bodies have frameless windows so they had to weld in frames for the “masthead” stunt. You can check out the whole chase scene with the ’69 Charger after the jump!

Joe Strummer’s Lost Dodge

Dodge built a 3700 GT for the Euro market in the 70s and apparently Joe Strummer acquired one during a trip to Spain in 1984/5–a trip to get away from The Clash, which was in the process of breaking up. He then lost the Dodge in a parking garage in Madrid, which has now inspired a documentary called “I Need a Dodge.” Sound cool? Filmmaker Nick Hall is looking for funds to complete the film and is asking for donations to complete the film. Trailer after the jump!
