yes sir, a video about a 2nd gen Charger is just like the car, an instant classic. and good news is, we still got a whole mess of them to go. thank you for the musclecar my friend.
Thanks and glad to hear it, yeah I have had that one on my list since the beginning, but still haven't found enough info on it for a video yet; hopefully will someday though 😉
Because of the Dukes, there’s no car that looks more at home in the air than a 69 Charger. Like the most beautiful Spartan woman in 300, the gift of her beauty was her curse.
Love the video, but I will admit that for the production crew to source out the '69 Dodge Chargers from Death Proof was a smart idea because all they have to do is restore them and add on the safety features for Drive Angry in order to use them right away, plus none of them were destroyed and probably got sold to collectors,at least that's a good thing for sure.
The 2nd generation 1968-70 Dodge Charger is quite possibly one of the most widely used vehicles in pop culture. Dukes Of Hazzard, the Fast & Furious franchise, Bullitt, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Death Proof, just to name a few.
'Just another guy who traveling and needs to saved a baby 😅' that's how i see this movie being grandfather's carzy adventure with only one shotgun, too many oneliners, tough gal (in more mays that we know), evil bounty bad guy, anti life group and finally overly useless cgi are all things everyone knows but at least we have 69 charger as today's video really does some justice for dodge's most iconic muscle car so that you buddy and have a nice day bye now later.
Excellent video! Thats really cool to find out about the chargers connection to death proof. 😀 Also, that County Charger MPC kit is a re boxing and decals as it was originally a General Lee kit.
I wasn't much into Dukes Of Hazard, but I've always liked the 2nd gen Charger and Death Proof and Drive Angry are very cool movies. Any kind of grindhousey action film with classic muscle cars is always a win for me.
Request for possible car/cars idea or at least one id be super interested in. The recent Twisted metal series specifically ROADKILL Camaro. Glad to see you back on here.
Neat Video and Thx for sharing ! I own one, a factory X9 Black 1969 Charger R/T SE, 440 Magnum/Auto, unrebuilt/unrestored survivor in still 'minty' original condition with no issues. I try to drive it as often as I can in summers as I live quite rural and it's a pleasure to drive on the highway to town, that said, not all that practical getting tackled everywhere you go once in town, Groceries/hardware store or whatever.... and of course as guy has to really drive defensively at all times as lookee-loo's will smash right into a you while ogling. I've met some very nice people as a result, lotsa good conversations.... and although it used to be flattering people were so enamored with the old thing.... sure get some goofy looks from people because my Dog(gsd) goes everywhere with me in it.... "you let your Dog in that Car" ?
The 69 Charger has 68 headlight bezels. I'm glad to hear they restored damaged Chargers. It pisses me off no end when the film industry just destroys these cars. Why don't they just build one from scratch and not ruin originals.
There is a fellow who worked for Ben Jones making chargers out of crown Victoria's. His videos inspired me to make a 51 Mercury out of a 2007 interceptor
69 chargers are my favorite muscle cars! And when it comes to the vent windows! A/C or no A/C who ever removed those from cars and trucks! Should be ashamed of themselves! They need to bring them back!
I wouldn't be surprised if McCarthy swapped in an LS in the stunt cars since he is famous for using a common drivetrain in the F&F movies for reliability and not having to worry about the condition of the stock engine.
Yeah, if the funding had been there, they may of, but this was quite a lo budget film actually as you can tell by the cast choice and cartoon like CGI sequences, lol.
So, that Chargers did not want to die 😃 Thanks for another great video, the more because is about my most beloved car since when i know what a car is ❤.. ..and do not tell The Accountant how great was the 440 😁😁
Next video the Death Proof Charger !!! Ha ha also for the color it is blue, i found an article online that someone talked to a stunt driver or someone that worked ok the car, and it was painted blue they said.
I do have that one on my list as well and it is matte black, it's just that in certain sunlight angles with a bit of dust cover, it just appears to have a bluish tint. Even in person, matte paint can be weird on the eyes like that, lol 😉
@CarStarz42 I thought the same, maybe it's a filter, or due to the fakt that the car is dusty and dirty, or lighting, but when you compare the car in death proof, and even the promo pictures of Drive Angry whit that 68 Charger that are in fakt flat black, it looks really different in my opinion, I also read online it was painted blue some stunt coordinator was explaining that, and on another website they even say it's B9 Dark Blue Poly, soooooo I gonna take a scale model and make a replica, and see how it will turn out 😄
@@CarStarz42 it’s a bit of a stretch, i know; with car rather being a celebrity car than a movie car. Since then I discovered two more if you need ideas: 57 Chevy from Return to Macon County & the Camaro in Eat My Dust
1969 Dodge Chargers didn't always have the passenger mirror because it was an optional item at the time, but the safety benefits outweigh the aerodynamic downsides in my opinion.
Does anyone know the license plate for the citroen ds on highlander tv series, I'm trying to make livery in Gran Turismo 7 ! Any help would be appreiciated 😅
Was wondering if you could possibly cover Final Destination 2 since many vehicles are involved in the opening pileup. Though you probably wouldn't be able to only cover one of them. Perhaps you could devote each fact to one of the main character's vehicles? I believe there's around 7-8 unique important vehicles in them (Kimberly's SUV, Evan's Firebird, Rory's Mustang, Nora's Pinto, Eugene's Motorcycle, Burke's Police Car, and Kat's SUV + Log Truck)
I focus on individual cars, one at a time, for my videos as folks expect the depth at this point, but I'll add it to my mega list anyway to look into. Thanks
Possible, but since it was part of some of the worst cheap CGI effects in the film, it's unfortunately quite tainted. It's too bad so many Nic Cage movies do that to us
Yeah, I have an old video on that car, but yeah that car keeps getting bought and resold, last I heard the rolled '70 Charger from the first F&F was in Branson Missouri though, or at least it was as of last year.
@@CarStarz42 I guess given the fact that the engine was placed it in it for that one brief scene, and then replaced might have something to do with it, some Sunny Liston motor I remember as the guy Craig Liberman did a video on it
Well sir seeing how we're doing 10 facts about the killer Dodge Charger this should have been fact number one that was not Milton's charger ever it belong to Amber's character that she bought and paid for so let's get the facts straight
C'mon Drive angry is almost perfect, the cgi did suck, but the acting, car stunts and everything else was sublime, I mean nick cage never disapoints even in those direct to video turds he did to pay the tax bills he never slacked off, Amber turd wasn't acting she was crazy hot, my kind of girl except unlike depp I know you just hit it a few times then leave the state and change your name so she can't find ya, you don't marry it. William Fitcher as the accountant, you know he was have n fun and it shows. Alot of his lines were funny as hell, like when turds ex boyfriend told him what car he had and the first thing the accountant asks 440 or hemi, like even the devils henchman are into muscle cars. Nope I will fight anyone who says this is a lousy movie.🤣 By the way did you know the riveria he drove in the beginning still exists, one of those discovery type car shows bought it to fix and flip, it had no engine and trans and the idiots replaced the crashed and bullet ridden front passenger fender, put an engine and trans in an lost their shirts when they sold it as a stock rivvy. Me I would've left it as found just putting in an engine to drive it.
Incorrect actually, technically in the film; the car is owned by the Piper's boyfriend, but Milton drives it the most in the movie so I went with that 😉
Definitely matte black in color, although when it has a dusting of dirt on it and hits sunlight at certain angles, it does get a bit of a bluish tint to it. Yes, the movie it self, like most Cage flicks, is quite odd and doesn't make much sense, but if you just focus on the cars and the chick, it's survivable, lol 😉
Damm its good to have your videos back!
Thanks, glad you enjoy them 😉👍
yes sir, a video about a 2nd gen Charger is just like the car, an instant classic. and good news is, we still got a whole mess of them to go. thank you for the musclecar my friend.
You're very welcome and I'd thought you'd like that 😉👍
Love your videos. Especially when you do a lesser popular movie like this. We true car enthusiasts appreciate these so much. Thank you.
Glad to hear it friend, it's lovely comments like this that keeps me going with these, so thank you too 😉👍
Really appreciate your research. Here's an idea: The "Little Mule" from "Romancing The Stone".
Thanks and glad to hear it, yeah I have had that one on my list since the beginning, but still haven't found enough info on it for a video yet; hopefully will someday though 😉
@@CarStarz42 Agreed, I couldn't find anything about it when I was trying to make a die cast tribute to it.
Go Pepe!!!

Cool memories seeing 1968 Bullitt when it came out.
American Pickers did a good show on that charger.
RIP Chad McQueen.
Cool, yeah I'll get around to doing a video on that one too 😉👍
Another great video, I have had 69 Charger for 18 years and love them since Bullitt and Dukes when I was a kid 👍👍👍
Thanks much and cool 😉👍
Another banger, brother. Great choice on the background music!
Sounds like Peaches. 😊
A modified version of it, yeah; had I left in the lyrics, it would have probably got flagged as too vulgar for UA-cam, lol.
Thanks much and glad you enjoyed it 😉👍
There was music? It must have recently been removed by youtube police.

Drive Angry is a guilty pleasure for me. It's what Marvel should have done for Ghost Rider imo.
😉👍
Speaking of ,the marvel TV series had a ghostrider that drove a charger much like the one in drive angry. Surprised you didn't mention it
Excellent video! Thats really cool to find out about the chargers connection to death proof. 😀 Also, that County Charger MPC kit is a re boxing and decals as it was originally a General Lee kit.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and indeed it was 😉👍
It is a shame people are offended by one of my childhood heros now. It's just mean to cancel a car.
Hi again
It's still surprising to me how many movies and TV shows took a liking to the second generation charger
Howdy and indeed 😉👍
I freaking love "Drive Angry" and I was like number 666 😬
I have it on dvd and It was double awesome seeing this at the theater in 3D😁
😉👍
I never knew of this movie but will definitely have to find it.
Great info 😁

Here’s a challenge? Videos on the green beetle you see in the Bullit car chase, and the yellow beetle at the start of The Shining ? 😎😎😎😎
I doubt I could find much on either since they aren't main vehicles, but I do have them on my list to look into anyway 😉
The Icon Dodge Charger !
😉👍
Absolutely pointless fact that only a Charger fanatic would notice, 1:00 the Charger has 1968 fuel cap
Good eye friend 😉👍

@@CarStarz42it really was awful,but the cars were super.
I gotta go back and watch every single video because I didn’t even think to ask about this one but what did I did ask you’ve already done lol

Reckon you could cover the Mustang… from the movie.. Hwy: An American Pastoral? 🙃😉

I do already have it on my list to look into, thanks 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 your welcome
Does the 69 Mpc Charger Kit come with Vector wheels?
If you get the one I pictured in the video, the "Country Charger", yes as it used to be their General Lee kit 😉👍
1:15 Amber was soo hot in this
Indeed 😉👍
Reminds me of Cobra, awesome cars in a crap movie. I watch both regularly.(Also own a Riviera like in the intro AND a 51 Merc)
Indeed and nice😉👍
Nowadays every car except the hero car would probably just have a GM LS crate motor swapped into it.
Most likely, but they went as authentic and cheap as possible on this one 😉
The MPC model kit is not considered excellent by model building enthusiasts. Although a good builder can make it look great.
At least it's still available friend 😉👍
I have yet to make it all the way through that movie it is so bad, lol. I need to keep trying. I do love the Charger, though!
Lol, yeah the best part is midway with the Charger chase. After that scene, it just gets worse and worse.
Please do the Mustang from Need for Speed!
I do indeed already have that one on my to do list also, thanks 😉👍
We need a video about the 71 chevelle next!
Possible, but since it was part of some of the worst cheap CGI effects in the film, it's unfortunately quite tainted. It's too bad so many Nic Cage movies do that to us
Riviera from road house and the start of drive angry?
For when Darth Vader recruits The General!
Lol 😉👍
I'd actually prefer if they DID go to all CGI in these movies. Getting sick of having classic American cars and trucks destroyed for a GD movie.
Understandable, but if they did that; no one would watch it. At least they didn't destroy them for this film 😉
hey FYI the fast and furious charger that they flipped, it survived, and is in brazil of all places now

I dont like the split on the grille- charger 500 and daytonas didnt have it
Tends to be a love it or hate it for most, but you could just go with a '68 in that case 😉
