I know this is off topic a bit, but just thought it would be a nice change of pace.

Anyway, what are your all time favorite movie cars? Any car, real or not, from any movie ever made. Mine are:

-Eleanor ('67 GT500)
-Batmobile ('89... gotta love that BBC sound )

 

smokey and the bandit's t/a of course

 

Hate to say it, but eleanor, from the new gone in 60 seconds..

they just sold one of them at the barrett jackson car auction for 180,000 or so..

 

Christine

Adam knows from personal experience how pre 60's vehicles can look and sound extremely creepy at night.

 

Of coures its any good looking thirdgen in any movie.
And maybe elanore/ or a gt40.

 

... see fake owners of thirdgens see the mustang as a cool car... REAL thirdgen owners cried when that formula got crushed in the begining... i always skip that part of the movie... that car looks soo sweet.

 

Watch closely, they didnt actually crush the formula. I about cried as well the first time, but then noticed the 15" wheels and non wrap around spoiler.

 

ahhhhhh i see... well it looks like im gunna watch that movie again tonight as i study for E&M...

 

Not sure how I can be a fake owner of a thirdgen.. I sat in my car before you were born..

I know no sense of humor.

 

... i was making a joke.. and i sat in my car since i was born....

 

hence the "no sense of humor" line..

trying to gently tell you to grow up.

 

I hated seeing the bird getting sortta curshed in the beginning, also seeing the 84 Z28 with t's in no man's land getting fliped onto the roof and destroying it

 

you're a damn liar al, you were 3 when you first sat in the car

 

Have fun on probation man

 

what about the merc from cobra that car was bad a$$

 

Heh posting "OFF TOPIC" in the subject line is like screaming "LOCK ME!!!" to the mods.

The two thirdgens in 8-Mile were nice. Eleanor was cool too.

KITT :rockon:

 

best car movie is American Graffetie(sp). the race at the end with the 5 window coupe and the 55 chevy rules.

 

Triple X with the purple GTO.
Was it a 1967 ?
My dad had one in high school.
Wasn't purple though, it was blue.

I just watched City by the Sea
with Robert DeNiro and James Franco.
There was a thirdgen camaro in a drug deal
scene. I think it was a Z28, it was red with
silver trim.

 

well, I think Eleanor from the 2nd Gone in 60 seconds, I know, it's a Ford, so sue me!!

The M4S Dodge Prototype in "The Wraith"

The Interceptor, in Mad Max 2

The Aston Martins in James Bond's movies from '84 on

The '55 Chevy in American Grafitti


Thunderboy

 

I like Eleanor because when they dubbed the GT500's sound effects for the movie, they actually did not use a Mustang... or any Ford for that matter... it was a '69 Corvette 427 with side pipes

And i forgot about American Graffitti.... i LOVE that Yellow '32 Coupe.

 

The 55 Chevy from Two Lane Blacktop, bar none...

it was a legitimate 10 second street car, built by Larry Ruth (he's the guy in the Glendale Speed Shop t-shirt at the gas station scene, who says he has a Thames panel). Severly lightened (dropped Econoline axle, no interior except the front buckets, glass front end/doors/decklid), an L88 427 with a Weiand tunnel ram, a 4 speed, and 4.56 gears,lexan windows, and primer...no bs, just a seriously fast 55 Chevy!

BTW its the same car in American Grafitti, only toned down a lot (custom interior, paint, chrome reverse wheels instead of the Americans).

 

ohhh yeah, the goat in that movie ain't bad either

 

nice topic to pick.....wish i had thought of this a while back cause man to i got alot.

Knight riders Firebird of course.
Smokey and the bandits 6.6 liter TA
Hooper's 78 red TA
a friend of mine has a silver with black striped 70 Chevelle 454 SS...sweet car.The movie American Graffiti....i loved every car in that one......one of my all time favorite movies. If only i was born in the 50s and 60s.....man what a time.

 

Dazed and Confused -

Pontiac GTO Judge
1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS5

and Vanishing Point -

1970 Hemi Challenger

 

apart from the T/A from the first Smokey and the Bandit, I'd have to say the DeLorean from Back to the Future is my favorite

 

...talking about about Dazed and Confused "White lightning" the `74 SD 455 t/a was a damn pretty car along with the chevelle and goat

 

I like the Bandits T/A. I know it's not a movie but the Dukes Of Hazzard Charger is awsome. I like the fastback Stang in the movie Bullit too.

 

Off Topic - Favorite Movie Car?
when i get my movie done this summer!
then all say my Camaro...

"tails from the crept" yellow 69 Camaro? a drag race with another car... brad pitt was driving the Camaro... G0D it was so long ago!! any one know what im talking about?

 

this white honda from "the slow and the curious" :sillylol:

 

How about the '87? blue IROC in BLACK DOG?

I only watch that movie to see the IROC

 

Umm I heard it was a gt500 they used for the sound because nick cage wanted it to be authentic.

 

awww you beat me to it, I saw it one weekend when I was sick on usa, and I just watched it because of the car too, that thing was sweet too bad it went through hell and back, I swore there was a roll cage in there but it was hard to tell at times

 

forgot about Mad Max's interceptor.. that has to put eleanor as number two for me.. who can forget a big Weiand supercharger poking out from under the hood

 

The '51 (IIRC) dropped and chopped Merc from "Cobra" gets my vote.

Next project car for me.

S.

 

Cobra, great movie,

I'm gonna have to say Ecto 1 from ghostbusters

 

In the movie Enemy of the State their was an early 2nd gen Formula and a third gen camaro chasing Will Smith in a sewer and in a tunnel.

 

The green '67 from Bullit is my top favorite movie car. I have every size of model of that car I can get my hands on, from 1/64th up to 1/18th.

I was in love with K.I.T.T. as well to carry on the car T.V. show scene once the Duke boys had their way.

Also, can't forget about the simplicity of Jim Rockford's second gen bird...

 

Ya you both beat me too it I love watching that IROC in that movie and I am pretty sure there is a roll cage in that car. Sweet scenes when it does battle with the monte ss, just to bad it gets trashed and the monte had to bite it.

Also love the cars and trucks in Dazed and Confused.

 

Hey Air Adam, I don't think they used a vette for the sound effects, I saw a TV show on how they made the movie, and for the sound, they used a big block Cobra...

Others I forgot, but remembered about today in the shower (ain't the bathroom a very philosophical place?)

-Cobras's '50 Merc that somebody already mentioned

-The Lamborghini Countach in Cannonball Run

-The Aston Martin Vanquish and custom Land Rover in Tomb raider (only shown briefly)

-The Mustang in Bullit

-The Hemi Challenger in Vanishing Point

-call me a *******, but when I was a kid, I had a knack for the "General Lee" Charger...they made a movie, so it counts!


Thunderboy

 

Im gonna have to say,
the Bandit TA,
There were 2 second gens in the movie Cannonball,
Eleanor,
and of course the car from The Road Warrior!
