Your most favorite movie / TV cars?

While daydreaming about winning the lottery today, I thought to myself if I ever had all those millions, I'd buy all the movie and tv cars I like, and drive them around. I'd probably have all my friends driving them, and we'd look like a rolling blast into the past.

What are your favorite movie / tv cars you would like to have?


I'd get-

1. Christine- the 1958 Plymouth Fury with a mind of her own.

2. DeLorean - While trying to not get tickets going 88mph, make sure you have the 1.21 jigawatts necessary for your next trip.

3. Eleanor- Who wouldnt want this classic fastback from Gone in 60 seconds.

4. General Lee- Old school muscle, with some serious suspension work.

5. Herbie the Love Bug- Only car ever to take 1st and 3rd in a race.

6. Batmobile from the 1989 movie- Imagine how many necks you would snap with this going down the road.

7. KITT- David Hassellhoff not included.

8. The A-Team van- Also known as the child molestors van of choice.

9. Mystery Machine- Comes with your own band of hippies.



Imagine all those cars going down the road, it'd be crazy!

Elenor --> Gone in 60 Seconds

Orange Supra -->Fast and the Furious

...actually Katana if you want to spend a fraction of the money, for a fraction of the cars try www.exoticar.com. They have most of the TV/Movie cars.

That car from the Wraith was actually a Dodge concept car from the mid 80's with a 4-banger turbo. I had a "Dream Car" book when I was 15 or so and the Dodge was in it (still have it up in my attic somewhere)... then I saw the exact same car in The Wraith.. Had a top speed of 180-something. Pretty bad-ass with what they did to it.

Think the tint on that car would be legal these days? That movie is so weird but at the same time so good. Damn, now I have to go download it.

Not in my state! We don't have a lot of "real" crime here, so illegal tint and loud stereos are the NH equivalent to a gang rape/murder for the local cops. They get all wet when they see an overdue inspection sticker!

Anyway, here's a snippet I found about that Dodge concept:

"M4S (Dodge PPG Turbo Interceptor; 1981, 1984) prototype, perhaps best known for its movie role in The Wraith, is in storage at the Walter P. Chrysler museum (Derek Beland). It had a 2.2 block and five speed manual with a Cosworth 16-valve twin-cam head, dual turbos, and Bosch fuel injection, making 440 hp with 0-60 in 4.1 and a 12.9 quarter with 195 mph top speed (Road & Track figures). It was mid-engined and loosely Daytona based. It was an actual Indy car in 1981. There are reportedly four still around, one at PPG HQ, one at the museum. For a time, a replica was being made as a kit car with a different engine."

Oh, it cost 1.5 million to make.
