There was a good wing car turnout as always at the 2013 Mopars Ulimited Spring Roundup. And as always, sometimes some of the coolest cars are not in the show–they are just sitting in the parking lot like this badass black Daytona! More pics after the jump!
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!
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!
