I was originally torn between Phantasm and Vanishing point. Although, after thinking about it the car not only appeared in the movie, but played a starring role in Vanishing Point - That car should have gotten a nod for an Emmy that year in the best leading role that year.

Several good ones to choose from, but it is "Vanishing Point" for me.    :2thumbs:    Kowalsky and the white chally made that movie a classic that has stood the test of time....    :ylsuper:    :cooldancing:

Highwaymen with James Caviezel is cool for the S/S Barracuda fans.

I like Vanishing Point and Cannonball, even though the Charger was a bad guy car.  Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry is a close second.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Vanishing Point the original version for me. 110 minutes of E-Body action, what's not to like!? :clueless: I like Bullitt but shlt, over an hour of boredom for a 10 minute car chase that has nice cars but lacks a little imagination. Though, the double clutching sound effects make me pitch a tent, if ya know what I mean.  ;) :lol:

Vanishing Point..."You've Never Had A Trip Like This Before" :ylsuper:

Corky. A bit on the obscure side but still :thumbsup:

Charlotte Rampling was in both but her scene was cut from the US version of VP :(  :naughty:

How can this list not have "Christine?"

For you Challenger lovers, 1994's "Natural Born Killers" with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis.

For early Barracuda fans, "Fireball 500."

Vanishing Point #1 all the way.  :ylsuper:  :burnout:

I hear ya PG, that's my favorite all time comedy. Watched it back in 64 when I was only about 12 years old, laughed my arse off then and as I got older I love it even more. Wouldn't mind having that nice red Mopar Sylvester was driving.
