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.

Original Bullitt Charger Camera Car Listed For $1 Million

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

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.)
