A couple cars I haven't seen mentioned so far are Jim Rockford's Firebirds and "Spenser for Hire's" Mustangs.

Sweet!! Great to hear someone else also loves that '67 Chevy Impala from Supernatural. That car is just plain slick. (Probably why it's my dream-car, now only if I had the money.)

Speaking of movie cars,can anybody guess what this baby is gonna look like when I'm done with it?

Actuially, someone hacked/scratched a deathmobile at the Mosquitocon just passed.

Definately the deathmobile from 'Animal House'.    RAMMING SPEED !! 

and the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill 2 (actually, Uma was right to bludgeon Buck, the male nurse, to death, just for driving it)  (I did like the interior though)

That truck was a Hendrickson,correct?It had a nice ominous look to it for that movie.

 Quoted from http://www.classiccar.com/garage/blog/index.php?/archives/34-The-Peterbilt-from-Duel.html

The original truck was a 1955 Peterbilt 351 that was hurled off a cliff at the end of the movie so the fate of that truck is well known. However there were two other trucks -- one used as a backup, and another used to shoot additional footage when the film was re-released. The truck used for additional footage is long gone, as is the original movie truck, but the backup truck used just in case the '55 couldn't perform still survives to this day.

The backup was a 1960 Peterbilt identical in appearance to the '55 in all ways except for the air cleaner. Once the production was finished, the truck sat on a storage lot. That was until Neil Losasso came along. He purchased the truck, had it refinished, and drives it on the weekends as a pleasure cruiser -- complete with tanker trailer. The details make for an interesting read at the 10-4 Magazine site.

Sticking with just TV cars or vehicles gives you plenty to choose from. We could do one for TV and once that is complete do one for movies.

Any real world vehicle depicted in a movie would be a cool GB.

Maybe its just me, but this seems to have all the great makings of a Group build

Engine 17 from Backdraft. Like the Chicago colors.

Ford Mustang used for the new K.I.T.T.

Chevy Camaro used for Bumble Bee in the Transformers.

The GTO used in Triple X.

 Any of the James Bond cars.

Don't forget Columbo's 1959 Peugot 403. What a POS!

Sorry, silverback, I don't think anyone recognized your first entry.

Good topic,

I'll bite,

t.v. shows: Miami Vice (the black Daytona Spyder)

                  Starsky & Hutch (red &white Ford torino)

                 Magnum P.I.(red Ferrari 308?)

                 Equalizer (Black Jaguar)

                 Dukes of Hazzard (Orange Charger)

Movies: Bullitt (68` Mustang fastback & black 68` Charger)

How about the early 70's Dodge rescue run by the LA County Fire Department as "Squad 51" on the old "EMERGENCY" series?  At one time, there was a resin kit offered to do the conversion.  Unfortunately, the company is no longer in business.  Rumor has it that the molds have been purchased, will be re-done, and the kit will be re-offered in the future...

Two Lane Blacktop 55   American Grafitti

Nice tie in. Did you know that the Two Lane Blacktop 55 is also the 55 Harrison Ford rolls racing that lovely little Deuce?

Also, the sound of the 55's 454 exhaust is used instead of the Firebird's natural exhaust sound in Smokey & the Bandit.
