Definitely Christine. In the other movies the car was just there, in Christine the car was the movie.
1972 Dodge Challenger 340 6 Pack 4-speed
1996 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe

The most obvious, and best, is Phantasm.
Aside from the Tall Man, the silver killer flying ball, we have a black Cuda.

I was reading that Stephen King choose the fury in "Christine" because the 57 chevy's and ford thunderbirds of that era were already popular so he went with the Fury. Now the 58 Fury is just as popular because of the movie. I think the fury was a better choice regaurdless. The restored 50's mopar's seem to be bringing big bucks at the Mechem auctions. Mopar rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. The Fury in Christine is my choice.

Christine....  The other cars are cool but Christine is EVIL!!!!! 

The only car that came to life and terrorized people on the list!  :grinyes:


Also, there was Wheels of Terror.... never saw the movie though.  I thought it was on one time and went to watch it and it was some military movie about a tank division!  :dunno:

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.

I'd say Christine because, as others have already said, the car was the movie.

If you ask me which is the best movie, I'd also say Christine.

If you ask me which is my favorite Mopar in a movie, I'd say the 1971 Cuda from Phantasm I.

I never heard about this movie before, I love the angry rat look on that Charger!
If you want to see the entire movie, here it is:

Look in the users uploads, Wheels of Terror will be there in nine parts.
Just discovered it, haven't seen any of it yet, but I will.
Panther Pink '72 Challenger Rallye.
Grey '70 Challenger R/T

The Wheels of Terror Charger would have made the list had i known about it!!  I picked Duel becuase it was a early steven spielberg film, and even tho the truck was the eivil character, spielberg wanted the bright red (FE5 ???) Valiant for visual impact.  goofy movie that it was, i always remebered the Valiant!
