hmm... if the director was smart, he would have fixed it up. but
considering that they MADE the Fast and the Furious, then it's probably in a
movie theatre backlot somewhere, and will be auctioned off in 10 years, when
its rusted and beyond repair. :(
i'm hoping to get my hands on a Charger one of these days... almost got a 71
Charger R/T a couple of months ago (for free!), but it was given to someone
else. my neighbor ended up with a 1970 Roadrunner with a 383.

Yea, I agree that enough muscle cars including Charger's have been damaged and destroyed for the sake of a hollywood film or tv series. They used more than one Charger in that movie, one was a very nice '70 model with a 426 HEMI with a 8-71 ROOTS type 871 supercharger, that was set-up for strip action. The second was a '70 model with a 440 that had the mock-up blower attached to the hood by setting it on top and securing with bolts from the underside for visual effect.......Hell the belt on the drive didn't even work, it was fake too!! on a side note that Charger could be fixed with a little work on the uni-body and a k-frame and suspension replacement........the exterior body damage wasn't that bad and could be repaired by traditional metal finishing and dolly and hammer work. The rollcage in that Charger actually saved it from being destroyed, because the cage reinforced the roof and windshield. I just wonder where that car is now..........LOL
