Top Ten Movie Cars

When I initially decided to create a top ten list of movie cars it really didn’t dawn on me what a daunting task it would truly be. There are so many great cars to choose from that it actually took me a considerable amount of time to come up with my list. Finally though I was able to finish it and I feel very comfortable with my list of the Top Ten and the Honorable Mentions. -HD

TOP TEN MOVIE CARS:

10.        The beautiful black 1971 340 4-speed Cuda from Phantasm; which sold for $1,000 after the movie and hasn’t been seen since.

9.           The 1964 Munster Koach, an absolutely amazing functional work of art created by George Barris using three model T bodies and taking over 500 hours to complete.

8.           The 1977 Pontiac Trans Am from “Smokey and the Bandit”.

7.           Mad Max’s 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe Interceptor.

6.           The 1974 Dodge Monaco “Bluesmobile” from the Blues Brothers.

5.        The 1969 “General Lee” Dodge Charger from the Dukes of Hazard.

4.           The 1970 440 R/T Challenger from Vanishing Point, a terrific rebel against “the man” movie.

3.           The 1955 Lincoln Futura used by George Barris to create the iconic Batmobile; which is currently valued at over two million dollars.

2.           The 1932 yellow 5-window Ford Coupe from American Graffiti.

1.           Steve McQueen’s 1968 Ford Mustang GT390 from Bullitt.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

The gorgeous black 1968 440 R/T Charger from Bullitt (in my opinion a much more beautiful car than McQueen’s Mustang).

James Bond’s 1964 Aston Martin DB5 from the movie “Goldfinger”, it’s fitting that the greatest James Bond car is driven by the best James Bond.

The 1969 Dodge Charger from “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry”.

The 1966 GTO Monkeymobile; which ended up in Puerto Rico being used as a hotel courtesy car for years until it was purchased at auction for $5,000 and brought back to the states and restored, “thank god!!”

The 1959 Cadillac “Ecto-1” from Ghostbusters; which was up for sale last year on ebay for $40,000 but didn’t sell.

And even though I don’t think it’s ever been in a movie no list of the top cars would be complete without Billy Gibbon’s 1948 Cadillac Cadzilla!!!!
