subject: Fiat Parts Thought We Would Select The Best Movie Muscle Cars Who Have [print this page] Fiat Parts The goal ended up being select only muscle cars and only from movies so a number of serious candidates didn't show up on this list since they were from TV series, has not been a muscle car, or just didn't get into this list. Anyway, AmCar Guide would like to mention 1970-1971 Plymouth Barracuda from -Nash Bridge- [with Don Johnson], Cobra from -Cobra- [with Michael Dudikoff], non muscle but exotic and iconic 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 from -Back to the Future-, 1977 Pontiac Trans Am from -Smokey and also the Bandit-,1958 Plymouth Fury from -Christine-, -Kitt- - Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from -Knight Rider-, 1969 Dodge -01? Charger from -The Dukes of Hazzard-,1959 Cadillac Ambulance from -GhostBusters-, etc. Each one is someone's dream car, each are perfect in some ways, but here's our Best Movie Muscle Cars:
1. Bullitt - 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 from -Bullitt-, 1968
1968-ford-mustang-bullitt-steve-mcQueen-posterProbably this is actually the only unmodified movie Mustang ever. It's got massive 325 HP, a true American muscle car's heart beneath the hood - the aggressive 6.4 liter V8 engine, 4-speed manual transmission [which definitely looks hard to shift] and sporty rear wheel drive to get fun while cornering. What else do you require from the real muscle car for chases, especially back in 1968?
2. 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 from -Vanishing Point-, 1971
1970-dodge-challenger-rt-vanishing-pointThis one was obviously a hot model with outrageous 375 HP, 440 cubic [7.2 liter] V8 which plays probably the sweetest automative soundtrack. Do you locate a better car for Kowalski drive an automobile from Denver to Bay area in 15 hours?
3. Eleanor - 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 from -Gone in 60 seconds-, 2000
eleanor-mustang-1967Eleanor has become the copied muscle movie car ever to appear in screens. Although the original movie from 1974 was a hit, the 2000 stole the show for certain. There are 11 Eleanor units produced for this movie in support of 3 of them were actual running and driving cars. Inside the movie it acted as Shelby, however , these folks were modified Mustang fastbacks. The movie transmission would be a 4-speed manual, but the stunt cars were automatic for easier act. Real legend.
4. The Interceptor - Australian 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe from -Mad Max-, 1979
ford-falcon-interceptor-back-mad-maxThis was was one of the most modified car in this movie. XB GT Falcon was built only for Australian market high were only 949 units built.

Transformers Autobot Towers Over Chicago Auto Show CrowdThe Transformer's Bumblebee made Camaro one of the most popular car of the season. Well, not just it transforms and looks good, but carries a modern amcar engine - 6.2 liter V8 which rates 426 HP and does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds-
6. 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum from -Bullitt-, 1968
Dodge-charger-from-bullittThis triple-black, 4-speed Charger chased the Mustang within the -Bullitt- movie making it one of the primary car chase scenes ever filmed. Once the jumping act was performed over the San fran hills the Charger never failed while using suspension. Are you capable to name a motor vehicle from nowadays which could accomplish that without ending as scrap?
7. Cobretti's custom 1950 Mercury Monterey from -Cobra-, 1986
mercury-monterey-from-cobra-2Cobretti's [Sylvester Stallone] 1950 Mercury is among the most important thing inside whole movie. It absolutely was formerly of Stallone himself and then produced for the movie by Cinema Vehicle Services. They double-scooped the hood, cleaned all extra trim, fitted 383 Chevrolet small block, topped it with nitrous-aided 4-barrel Holley carburetor that also had Weiand 144 supercharger. The transmission would have been a 400 Turbo Hydraulic with 4-wheel brakes. A great car to disclose Cobretti's personality and join this Top 10 list.
8. 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra from -The Gumball Rally-, 1976
Shelby-cobra-427-gumball-front-2The movie itself was inspired with a x-country driver Erwin G. -Cannonball- Baker who managed to drive in the united states nationwide in about 54 hours. This comedy had many interesting cars on act, including Ferrari Daytona, Porsche 911, 600 HP Camaro, Jaguar E-type, Convertible Corvette, Mercedes Roadster or even a Kawasaki motorbike. There have been only 2 different, but original Shelby Cobra cars within this movie [CSX 3243 and CSX 3255]. These 427 cubic [7 liter] OHV muscle cars were able to power up to 355 HP. This is really impressive ride in the united states with iconic muscle cars-
9. Bond's 1964 Aston Martin DB5 from -Goldfinger-, 1964
aston-martin-db5-james-bond-movieThe DB5 is renowned for being the first and most recognised movie car in Jason bourne movies. DB5 had 4 liter [282 HP], 5-speed transmission. Originally, Ian Fleming [the novel writer] had placed DB Mark III, but DB5 was the most recent Aston at that time. Actually, they used the prototype car and fitted it with a lot of weaponry that fat stripped as soon as the movie and resold. Exactly the same car turned up using some other Bond's movies also. If You'd ask anyone to say -what Bond's car is-, the one would certainly name Aston Martin. Good car once and for all agent.
10. 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 from -Thunder Road-, 1958
1957-ford-fairline-500-thunder-roadThe movie character actually drove 2 car there - 195 Ford Coupe and 1957 Ford Fairline 500 that was the top of the Ford line. The 312 cubic V8 engine produced 245 HP and had automatic transmission. Good option for 1950s if You require -to take someone out.
