1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is the Perfect Vehicle for Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious 6

Posted on by

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.”

Viper Defender on eBay

Posted on by

Actually, the auction ended this weekend with the reserve not met, after the car from the famous 90s TV show was bid up to $174,100. The seller claims the same car failed to sell at Mecum back in 2010 for $270,000. More pics plus ad text after the jump! Via eBay

Also, check out the car chase between the Viper Defender and a yellow Z28 Camaro after the jump!

Defiance Charger is One Badass Mopar

Posted on by

After that awesome Defiance preview last week I thought we’d take a closer look at the Defiance Charger. Dodge has worked with SyFy in the past–on shows like Ghost Hunters and 31 Days of Halloween–so they were first in line for this integrated video game/tv series, which was under development for five years. Dodge was very involved in the design process and approved all renderings before the final car was built. I think it looks great with power bulge and rust, and of course Chargers look great with push bars so they are a no brainer for a post-apocalyptic badass look. Under those visual mods is a relatively stock 2013 Charger. More pics after the jump! Via Jalopnik and Allpar

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…

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.)

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1970 Plymouth Superbird in Dazed and Confused

Posted on by

Ok, here’s an obscure one. Most people who watched Dazed and Confused are gonna remember Matthew McConaughey’s 1970 Chevelle. But do you remember this black wing car? I sure don’t! Need to watch it again, I guess. We’ll come back to Ben Affleck’s 1973 Plymouth Duster later. Trailer after the jump! Pic via IMCDB
