Do any board members have a Vanishing Point Challenger? This is for a Motor Trend Classic story. Please email me privately if you do.

Are you talking about the new one?Kowalski edition? or an old whit one made as a tribute?,as far as we know all of the movie cars have been crushed, I do know someone that did a tribute ,

but has since sold it perhaps he has pix , he is a good friend I will call him and see if he has any pix?.

I suspect all Jack is asking for is a white 1970 Challenger R/T.

There used to be a website years ago run by a guy called "Cometstorm" (his real name escapes me at the moment. Randall??) but after an illness that damaged his hearing he sold his tribute car and closed his website down.

Shame because he had lots of contacts for people with other tribute cars. Which is how I was able to help the producers of the Audioslave video as I simply pointed them in his direction and they found a car located in S. California.

All they asked about was a Vanishing Point Challenger, so I am assuming a white 70 R/T would be it as well.

Hi JackT. If I can help, let me know. I dont think they would be interested in my stuff. My '72' is white and is under construction. My 1970 N-96 R/T has been on the Vanishing Point Run but it's FE5 Red. When the '72' is done, it will make the run from Ind. to Stevenson,Washington down to Denver then thru Utah and Nevada and on to Reno, Nv. then to 'Vegas'. :s002:
