The 1971 movie "Vanishing Point" features a white 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T that a professional driver had to deliver the car from Colorado to California with a deadline that had him driving flat out while being chased by an endless number of State Police cruisers and managed to destroy a boneyard worth of them. The engine was a mythical supercharged engine that wasn't described beyond that though the car was badged as a 440 6 Pack on the hood. Dodge rented 5 Challengers to the production company for $1 a day and had them crushed after the shoot. All survived the movie with the [[[spoiler alert]]] fatal crash at the movie's end using a gutted Camaro for the fiery ending. This is 1/25 kit build by Revell that marketed a series of diecast bodied movie cars including both Bullitt cars. On this model, I painted the interior and engine bay, dry brushed the grill and added aftermarket decals in the engine bay. It, as well as the 1/18 model I have are not accurate as both models have the chromed sports gas cap that was not on the movie cars. For the $15 price tag, it, as well as the Bullitt cars are really well done.
Nice build Rich. I've seen several models of this car and some have twin mirrors, a single mirror and, like yours, no outside mirror. Which is correct?
I have the Philly Mint version, although not correct as it's a Hemi car, but it still looks great on the shelf. I just realized, I don't have any pics of it. Time to remedy that. Yours looks fantastic Rich. 😁
I have a nice white M2 version, it has both side mirrors and this engine. That is an outstanding build Rich
@geoff-jowett That Revell kit was 20 years ago when there weren't any other options, so I made the best of it.
@rich-sufficool you done it justice Rich. It looks great.💯👍
