    That is something to survive after the jump and be that much in tact. Three years ago my wife and I went to the Lil Red Express Truck owners club meet with our 1979 Lil Red in Alexander City Alabama. The club meet was hosted by Tim Wellborn at his Muscle Car Museum and his beautiful home! He has one of the finest Mopar Musle car collection's in the country. In his collection he has two of the Challenger's that were in this movie. One is still dirty just like it came from the movie and he said he left it like that because it's worth more that way than cleaned up it has a 440 4 bbl in it. The other Challenger is clean and has a 426 Hemi that was used in Scene's where it wasn't abused. If you ever get out that direction in Alabama it is well worth a visit to the Museum and I can guarantee you will be amazed at the collection.

    Did you know that, in the final crash scene, a Camaro was totaled in place of a Challenger?

    I am assuming you are speaking about "vanishing point" your write up is about two movies , including death proof ?
