Here’s a great review of all the Mopar muscle cars used in the various Fast and Furious movies. Which is your favorite? I think I’m going with the Road Runner from Tokyo Drift! Video after the jump!

Movie Mopar of the Week: Joe Dirt’s 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
You think Vin Diesil’s Daytona is cool? What about Joe Dirt’s Daytona? There is a great writeup on this car over at Californiaclassix. Can you believe the original movie car sold for just $18,000 back in 2002?
Joe Dirt fans should also check out our blog on Joe Dirt’s 1967 GTX convertible. Oh, and check out the video after the jump!
Beautiful Black 1963 Plymouth Fury Convertible on eBay
The seller claims this old B-body vert has just 63,000 miles and was fully restored in the early 2000s. All I can say is it’s a knockout. 361 power, push button tranny! Have mercy! More pics and ad text after the jump! Or check it out on eBay
Update: this got bid up to $17,099 but reserve not met! I think if I was the seller I would have held, too!
1969 Dodge Charger R/T Ad the Most Sexist of All Time?
1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is the Perfect Vehicle for Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious 6
Check out what Vin Diesel told the guys at Top Gear:
“I felt like the Daytona spoke to the character,” Diesel said. “It’s always a big process picking the cars and the casting of the car normally reflects the state of mind of our characters.”
Director Justin Lin also thought it was the perfect car for this film:
“The Daytona is a car I had been looking at for the last three Fast & Furious films but they never felt right,” Lin explained. “It did for this one.”
Have you see Fast & Furious 6 yet? What did you think? If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the trailer after the jump!
1969 Plymouth Road Runner Barn Find
This car was recently found in Nebraska. Looks like an amazing project. Under all the dust and grime is a fairly solid B7 4-speed car. They only made 1,880 Road Runner Convertibles in 1969, and only 769 of those were 4 speeds. They are still out there, folks. More pics plus video after the jump! Via Moparts
Mopars and AMCs at Quaker City Dragway
These awesome pics were shot Saturday at Quaker City Dragway in Salem, Ohio and posted in The Car Lounge. More pics after the jump!
1967 Plymouth GTX Featured on Hemmings TV
I’ve always loved the 66/7 B-bodies, and the ’67 GTX is my favorite. This example was painstakingly restored by Doug Bolt of Orlando, Florida and recently featured on Hemmings TV. Check out the video after the jump!
1968 Plymouth Road Runner on eBay
I’ve featured a few high dollar trailer queens on here. Well, how about a driver that some of us might actually be able to afford? It’s hard to find a decent Road Runner under $20,000 these days but this might just be a good example. Sure it has the wrong seats, a silly butt stripe and goofy wheels. But being from Colorado it’s probably fairly rust free, and I’d love to have it. The no reserve eBay auction ends tomorrow! Lots more pics after the jump!
Update: looks like it sold for $17,101, bid up from about $15,000 early this morning.
