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.”

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
