Was wondering the color of the Charger that TBoned, or tried to, the train? Looks SubLime Green on the video. However, on one of the video clips, I hear the cop asking the farmer in the truck they hit, if it was a yellow Charger. And some others it looks yellow! :confused: rr

Guess I'll have to do a Lemon Twist and Sublime Lime version just to make sure. ;) Dave

A movie remake!!! Outstanding!!!

ROADRUNNER - you lucky dog ! i am gonna save you time. I did research on that long time ago and i still have the bookmark.. check out the link..

The famous getaway car featured in the film is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with a 440 cubic inch V-8 engine. For musclecar buffs, the color of the Charger is "Limelight" yellow (actually, a fluorescent yellow-green). The black stripe on the side of the car is NOT a "factory" racing stripe (rather one painted on by the crew), and the wheels are classic "American Racing" brand wheels. (i cut and paste from the link below)

The die-cast guys have been doing stuff on and off for a while with the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Charger.

Just check out some of the links -- lots of good pics and idea starters in there.

One of the saddest movies ever. I cry every time I see the Charger totaled. Vanishing Point is another!

aw, now, ya had to go say that. i just looked up the thread on my VP Challenger project... turns out it was like 5 pages long, in 2005, and none of the original pics are there. so you guys will have to be content with these:

it's a combination of 2 XT challengers. I think I took the hood from the purple one and put it on the red one and removed the spoiler, you can still see where I tried to fill the holes in the trunk lid. screwposted it to a stock Tjet chassis with RRR rims... i nicked little holes in the trim rings of the rims to look like Mopar Rally wheels...

Park - oh man you had a good thread on that til the end!!! :)

Very nice VP Challenger! It brought back alot of memories, owned a 1972 Lemon Twist Challenger with rally package, same hood with screw out black inserts so they could be functional and faded black hatched striping (still can't remember what they call that striping). ...RL

I did this VP shot foolin around. "Kawolski's last ride" Close enough eh?

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.....rr that is going to be a great car. Can't wait but, hey don't hurry either. Time...all I got is time.

Vanashing Point...question????? I clicked on the link doba posted to buy Dirty Mary Crazy Larry DVD and then found a 3 pack of car movies Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Vanishing Point and some other movie about 2 couples seeing a Satanic kult give a human sacrafice and had to run from them in a car chase.

My Question is...they said that the Vanashing Point was a Remake. They have the Original sold seperatly also. Are both Vanashing Point movies worth getting????? Or just the original from 1971???? Do I just buy them all????:confused:

Great Doba you got me ready to get some neat car flicks now! If I could only find my 2 Way Blacktop VCR tape...oh dang.

Rich & Rick those are some great movie slot car pics man. :) Love this place!

Bob...waiting for an answer...zilla

I can still remember the first time I saw that movie. I was about 11 and it was on TV one rainy summer afternoon. Back then, before Oprah, ABC in NY, CH7, used to have the "4:30 movie" ... I was seriously stunned at the end when they crashed into the train, I didn't see it coming.

Yeah, that ending wasn't what I was expecting either. Ah the old days, when the news didn't start until 6pm and you didn't have all the BS filler from 4-6. ;) rr

Wasn't one of the called "The Million Dollar Movie?" I remember them cutting longer movies in to two days.

In this clip, the guy that gets hit calls the car yellow. In all of the scenes it does look like a lime green. Dodge did use some different colors back then! I hadn’t seen this movie in a very long time, great, another DVD I have to buy. A little while ago I picked up Funny Car Summer, I hadn’t saying that since I was like 11 or 12 .

this abomination is from many years ago--i think you'll recognize the Tyco 440 'vette... the mods were done with (gasp) cardboard, metalflake red spray bomb, and orange brush-on Testors :freak:
