This site is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of 1960's and '70's Musclecars. I will answer any and all questions about what is original, and what are "Period Correct" modifications.

Certain cars are just stars.....
Someone asked me the other day what musclecar had the most movie appearances and I realized I couldn'r just spout an answer. I told him I'd research it and get back to him. However-I may have missed some so my list might not be accurate. Anyhow- here's what I came up with in no particular order. # 1. 1968-70 Charger. Besides the obvious-"Bullitt" and the "Dukes of Hazzard" these Chargers have appeared in "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry", the "Fast&Furious" movies, the "Blade" series, "Drive Angry" and others. # 2. Pontiac Trans-Am. Besides the obvious-"Smokey and the Bandit" and it's sequesls, and "Knight Rider" John Wayne drove a Brewster Green T/A in "McQ". Chuck Norris drove a Buccaneer Red one in "An Eye for an Eye". There was a red one in a chase in the "Star Chamber" about corrupt judges doling out vigilante justice. Steve McQueen drove one in "The Hunter", a 10th Anniversary Model was used in "Georgia Peaches" a little known gem that also features country music star Tanya Tucker in bondage!! The "Loser" drove one in the finale of "The Driver". Roy Scheider drove one in "Blue Thunder". # 3. Ford Mustang. Besides "Bullitt" Mustangs were used in "Diamonds are Forever" a James Bond film, my personal favorite-a barefoot in shorts Farrah Fawcett-Majors on the hood of a "Mustang II" for a promo for "Charlie's Angels", "The Mechanic" with Charles Bronson, the original "Gone in 60 Seconds", "Marked for Death" a Steven Seagal stinker, "Bobbi Jo and the Outlaw" which featured evangelist turned action movie star Marjoe Gortner and a pre-"Wonder Woman" Lynda Carter who got naked a lot-the movies only saving grace, "Basic Instinct" "Menace to Society", "Hannibal". # 4. Pontiac GTO. Goats have appeared in "Two Lane Blacktop" "Dazed and Confused" "Sleepless" ,"Sex Drive" "Knight and Day" "Faster" and maybe some others I missed. # 5. Dodge Challenger. Besides the obvious-"Vanishing Point" Challengers have appeared in "Moonshine County Express", "NCIS" , "Dark Blue". # 5. Chevy Camaro. Camaros have appeared in "Aloha, Bobby and Rose", "I the Jury", "Christine" "Remember the Titans" "Walking Tall Part Two" "Miami Vice" "Impulse", "Physical Evidence" and others I may have missed. # 6. Chevy Chevelle. Chevelles have been in the "Fast&Furious" movies, "Drive Angry" "Lights Out", "Faster" "John Wick" "Jack Reacher" and others.
