Does anybody know a good reference website for the cars that appeared in the Fast and he Furious movies, preferably with pics? What I'm looking for is for the actual cars that appeared in the movies, not the diecast cars that were released.

I'm looking for something similar to what this guy did with the Pixar Cars here: http://www.carsdriveingallery.com/

What I'm looking to do is collect the Ertl/RC diecast cars from the movie. The thing is I know they put out some paint jobs/castings that weren't in the movie, and I'm trying to filter those out. I already have series 1 from that set.

I know Wikipedia has a listing of the cars that appeared in the movies, but no pics.

Also, hollywood-diecast.com has a good reference page on all the diecast cars that were released for the movies, but again, I'm trying to filter out the ones that didn't appear:
http://www.hollywood-diecast.com/fast%20&%20furious.htm

http://www.hollywood-diecast.com/tokyo%20drift.htm

BTW, I know the guy who made this site is on this forum, great website!!! :thumbsup:

Any help would be appreciated!!! :)

That's right, I am on these forums. :D
Thanks for the kind words.

The ultimate resource for info and pics of cars from movies is The Internet Movie Car Database. I refer to it all the time. Here is a link to The Fast and The Furious:

Here is the link to 2 Fast 2 Furious:

and here is a pic of my collection of 1:64 scale cars from both of those movies, that actually appeared in those movies:

And finally, for you Fast & Furious fans, RC2 will be re-releasing cars from all the Fast & Furious movies in time for the new Fast & Furious movie, which reunites Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. They will be released under the Johnny Lightning brand.

Thanks for the info, guys! The website is great and I'm thinking of buying the book now (probably used).

You have anymore info on this? Like when they'll be released and if they plan on using the original castings? Man, this will be great. Hopefully, they'll be in big supply and I won't have to go eBay shopping to catch up on what I don't have.

I'm going to assume RC2 will be reusing castings, as well as including some castings from the new movie. I asked my sponsor Movie Car Mania to order some cases for me. I would suggest you go through him too.
