And then, I also forgot Sonny Croket's  Black Daytona in Miami Vice.


 

And also the white Testarossa.

 

And I know it's not a car, but still a favorit...

Then you've got Stuntman Mike's (Kurt Russel) deathproof Chevy Nova from Tarantino movie Deathproof, part of the Grindhouse duo.

 For those who are over 50 and "dig" hot rods, Kookie's Kar from the TV show "77 Sunset Strip" was a sweet ride(built by Norm Grabowski). It was the first  T Bucket with a short bed I recall seeing as a kid. Later on  I tried to duplicate it using AMT's 1925 Model T kit. It was so revolutionary it made it to Life magazine as a 8 page color spread. One picture showed Grabowski driving his creation in a drag race with Tommy Ivo's hot rod. As Kookie whould say "it's the Ginchiest, baby"....

Here's a fun one from an Aussie movie:

 

I love the Last of the V8s (Falcon XB coupe) in Mad MAx 2 (or Roadwarrior)

 

And the 55 Chevy from two lane blacktop. That's my wife's aunt in the photo.

Hi Konig Tiger-

Great topic!!

Back in 1986 a Charlie Sheen movie called 'The Wraith' came out. It was about a road-gang in Arizona that would stop highway travelers with sportscars and force them to roadrace for pinkslips. The gang at some point killed a young man and he has now come back as Charlie Sheen to take his revenge!!  He drives a sleek, black, and deadly super-racecar that at the end of the show is reveled to be a Dodge product. 

A Dodge M4S to be exact.  At least that's what 'The Internet Movie Database' is saying. Before posting here I wanted to get my facts strait so I did a Google search and followed it to their website.

I sure that there are pics out there some where on the net, but it's really late (or early) and I'm going to bed.

Again, great topic and remember- Keep your stick on the Ice,
-Ray

i would have to agree with mikael and go with the 67 impala from supernateral. for movie cars i would have to go with the gto and roadrunner from the punisher. the one with john travolta in it not the other ones.

For me the top one has to be, the Mach 5. And of course you have to love the A Team's black van and Magnum's Ferrari. But from the movies, Mad Max's Interceptor... and the original Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am...Mischief [:-,]
