Revell T.F.A.T.F. Dodge Charger

[1973challenger360]

I have not seen The Fast and the Furious for a while but wasn't the charger a 69 or 70, the Revell Charger is a 68 black with a blower

I got 1 today a Walmart for $2.50, there 2fast 2 furious challenger is only avalible in 1:18.

Yeah, that '69, j/k '70 Charger was a rip off in that movie....Guess Hollywood didn't want the Ricers to feel sh!tty when a real supercharged Charger dominates them...so, they just stuck the blower to the hood and left the 318 bone stock..but it still beat them anyways!~

[lemonboy69]

However though... the first garage shot you see of the Charger... is a REAL 440 Blown Charger... that ain't no bolt on blower there...   I think I read somewhere that the real one ran about 10.5 in the quarter... SCHWEET!!

Thats what I thought, so why would revell make there car from a 68 ??

[lemonboy69]

Who knows... but it would be THEIR car... not THERE car...   I know.. it's not English... but it makes it easier to read that way...

Mike, the engine in the Charger was a 392 Hemi, not a 440. I bout fell out of my seat when I saw it! I saw a movie car at Universal Studios Orlando last summer, and the blower was a cut off fake bolted to the hood like SC73 said. I've got a picture or two somewhere. If I can find them I'll post them.

It had a 392 not a 426 ?

[lemonboy69]

They weren't advertising a 426 Charger as it was... it was supposedly a 440... but I guess we all were wrong... lol...

Thanks 392HN!!

If you are as familiar with the shape of the early hemi valvecovers as I am, you might have picked up on it. Otherwise it was a kind of quick shot and hard to tell. The early hemis have the distributor at the rear of the engine, the 426 hemis are at the front same as a 440.

I have only seen the movie twice and didn't stop it there.  Good eye...
