Challenger from THE BUCKET LIST movie.
« on: January 01, 2008 - 01:50:08 PM »
Not much of a Movie,  More of a movie for my parents, BUT there is a 70 Challenger in it.  The rear Challenger emblem and R\T on the rear are in the wrong place, the gas cap is wrong.  Makes me wonder who this guy is that they keep going to for the movie cars. His name was in MCG.  They crash it a little as usual.

 I found some pics on the web.   Save your money and wait till it comes out on TV.

EDIT: Here is a link on YOUTUBE.  Watch it before it gets taken down.

First of all, does he win?

Second, look at that bodyline in that overhead pic!   :stomp: :swear: :pullinghair: :banghead: :horse:

The body line is a little smashed after a little "bang them up".  They aren't really racing.  The movie is just about doing some things before you kick the bucket.  One of Morgan's things to do, was DRIVE A SHELBY MUSTANG".  The Challenger got some screen time along with it, so that MOPAR could show that sticker on the window.

I have been wanting to go see the movie but maybe I'll wait till it is on dvd. The Challenger looks pretty nice but the pictures show it's not a show car.

 :iagree:  It pains me to see any classic car banged up for the "big screen" Mopars or otherwise.  Although you can never kill a legend!
