Dom's Blown 1970 Dodge Charger R/T From Fast & Furious

We finally got to shoot this!! Our friend Bob owns the "blown" Charger used in Fast & Furious 4,5,7 & 9 and we were finally able to nail down some time to shoot this legend with Bob telling stories about some of it's history. And, Bob was kind enough to throw down a few serious burnouts for us to all enjoy so sit back and let her rip!

Right. The first one in 2001 was the best looking of all FnF Chargers

[@jeremys66mustang]

Absolutely Dom's Charger from the first movie was by far the best badass looking. But I wouldn't turn this one down at all.. Just needs a few changes.. Mooneyham 671 blower.. Enderle Buzzard catcher scoop, American Racing Daisy 200's wheels, Mickey E/T Street slicks, and the Chrome front bumper.

[@MrGaryGG48]

I've always felt that this era of Charger was one of the best looking cars of that period, it's just too big. If it was built at about 2/3 or 3/4 scale it would be perfect. Somewhere around the size and scale of the '65 Mustang but looking just as it does there. I saw a video a couple of years ago, I believe the guy was in Italy but I'm not certain. He disassembled a Charger of this period and completely redid it at about 3/4 size. It had the original V8 rebuilt and the original 4-speed. I have no idea what he spent on it but the results were spectacular! It was done in burgundy with black leather... soooo nice!!

[@tomnekuda3818]

@@MrGaryGG48 I owned a RoadRunner of the same period. For me it was the perfect size car. Mopar had the Challenger and the Cuda for pony cars. They were pretty nice but like the Nova I owned, with power they would come around on you very fast with the short wheelbase. I'd really like to see your 3/4 size Charger,tho; I bet it was cool if done right. Hang in there, chief.

@@DuBstep115 ​ DuBstep115 I hadn't thought of the Dart but the one that comes to mind is about the right size (for the discussion). I know that the marketing people have their own agendas but a car of those proportions would be a really interesting proposition. With the smaller size, the power-to-weight ratio could have been impressive. As I've commented before, "They just never asked for my opinion!" ...and my wife's retort, "OK, what's your point??" ;^)

[@RBCharger]

Second generation Chargers are the most beautiful design of any muscle car that ever came out of Detroit. It is a shame that they are also the most destroyed TV/movie cars of all time. It is a wonder that there are any of these 50 year old cars left at all.
