volobrian 2006-02-25 17:57	blower is fake, a hemi engine was dropped in for garage scene only, it was never hooked up, they borrowed the engine from a guys boat! currently at www.volostarcars.com
incog 2006-04-01 20:08	Uh huh, and what a shame, but I still believe this as the best candidate for most vicious car ever featured in a movie, right next to the primer-grey '55 Chevrolet from Two-Lane Blacktop. -- Last edit: 2006-04-01 20:10:57
qwerty_86 2006-06-18 08:08	'68 Chargers had round taillights. '70s had the flat horizontal taillights like the '69s.
69Roadrunner426 2006-07-18 08:40	It's a fake blower, but one of the cars used (for the race scene I think) had a 440 cid 4 barrel under the hood.
GENERAL LEE 2006-10-23 02:43	they'd never risk wrecking a real HEMI, the engine was a 383 4-barrel with a fake blower but the enigne in the garage scene WAS a real 426 Hemi
stpaulcarguy 2006-10-30 04:15	granted car crashes are pretty cool but i dont think its worth it to destroy somthin' as sweet as that
DAVID1988 2006-11-03 10:47	Superb ! BIG BLOCK V8
Settpistol 2006-11-05 07:27	It has the grille from a '69 charger 500. any thoughts?
stpaulcarguy 2006-11-08 07:16	its not a charger 500 grille, he just has the hidaway headlights open.
li'll hot rod 2006-11-17 01:56	the hemi charger in the garage and the hemi charger at the beginning of the last race are the same car.the charger that was wrecked had a 383 with a fake blower on it.the wheel stand is real.the guy that owns the hemi charger taught Vinnie how to do the wheel stand.

moparguy1973 2006-12-30 05:52	Ummm, the wheelstand is a fake. Watch the extras on the "extended" DVD. They used a hydraulic ram with wheels mounted on the bottom of the car to raise the front end. There are three noticeable errors during that race scene: the sound of the engine revving up doesn't correspond with the movement of the blower's "butterflies", the blower belt doesn't move the entire time the car is sitting at the light running, and there is absolutely no possible way to pull a wheelie like that with those skinny @$$ tires on the back. Also, has anyone else noticed that, for a 9 second car, that race scene takes forever. I know, I know, dramatic effect or whatnot...
moparguy1973 2006-12-30 05:55	Oh, and the grille is the stock 1970 grille, but it's been blacked out (no chrome trim), and the "hideaway" headlight doors are open. On the 1969 Charger 500 grille, the headlights are fixed in place with a Coronet-like grille.
gliffhanger 2007-01-07 12:12	what a shame to Lose this charger -- Last edit: 2007-02-19 13:13:18
SnotRodFanatic 2007-02-26 00:26	That Charger looks like Snot Rod.
FamousCars.de 2007-03-06 00:05	the wheelstand isn't real. Here you can see something that you don't see in the movie
W_Body_Geek 2007-03-06 01:05	It is a 1969/1970 Charger. My book shows that 1968s were used as pilot cars with 1969 and 1970 doubles.
mopar-banshee 2007-07-23 23:48	It is definately a 1970 Charger, the 1969 had a vertical bar that divides the grille in two halves.

Kazimann 2007-08-04 18:26	It was the only good car in the whole film. Overall, the film was shit anyway.
wannajeep 2007-09-11 10:40	None the less I still wouldn't mind having this car.
incog 2008-03-09 20:34	I wonder what happened to the Chargers they used in the movie? I'd guess they are all either on some sort of movie-car attraction display or crushed. I'd be curious to hear if any are currently under private ownership. I also can't believe I haven't come across a clone of this car anywhere on the internet. There are thousands of General Lees out there, but no-one has bothered to clone such a wicked looking car? Fast and the Furious may not have the same following (specifically, age-wise) as The Dukes of Hazzard, but it boggles my mind no-one has bothered with the FnF Charger! I've seen a couple black '70 Chargers with a blower, but no American Racing CL-200 "Daisy's" or Enderle-style air scoops.
