I normally try to get the wife to eat her meals in the shed! Save the dining room for parts!

One more - panther pink 71 convertable on the movie Natural Born Killers

It was a White '70 Challenger R/T Convertable. I own the movie.

A few of us own the movie. The question is is it pink or red? It sure is not white! Not unless you are even more colour blind than me! :shock:

Whoops!! I'm getting my movie Challengers all mixed up! :oops:

Gee, which Challenger was I thinking of?

I think it was originally a red that faded.

Dang, I feel stupid now.....

I have Natural Born Killers (only because of the car

) and that Challenger IS red.

Looks pretty mean that Challenger, a little to ricey for my likings but still a premo ride.

I saw a country music video recently with a 70 or 71 in it. Cant remember what it was called.

Here is an old one for you. The first Smokey and the Bandit was on TV the other day. There is a 72 to 74 Challenger that you can see in one of the highway scenes.

It actually answers the question elsewhere on the message board regarding the color of the rear taillight panel (silver).

The old movies are sometimes great fun to see what cars show up.

Oh yea. Old movies. I finally got Vanishing Point...I watched it 3 times in a row :roll:

Man do I love movies from the 70's.

Remember the movie "Drop Zone"? An all-white hemi R/T(gee, who are they paying an homage to!?) makes a cameo in that film.

I have seen the Overhaulin' Challenger up close. One of my buddies from the mopar club I was in worked on that car. That thing is fantastic!
