Now's Your Chance To Bid On One Of Dom's Fast And Furious Dodge Chargers
It’s hard to think of something more entwined with the fictional psyche of Dominic Toretto than the Dodge Charger. Well, other than perhaps Corona, and white vests. But if lagers and sleeveless tops aren’t your bag and you want to channel your inner Vin Diesel, we have good news: a Dodge Charger used in the filming of the Fast and Furious franchise will soon be going under the hammer.
It featured in the fourth and fifth films of the franchise as a stunt car, and as such, some of the details are a little iffy. It’s a 1968 car that’s been mocked up to look like one from 1970, it’s packing a 350 Chevrolet engine (because they’re cheap), and has a blower that doesn’t look like it’s actually connected to anything (below). Nothing is as it seems in movie land…
It’s one of only two Chargers that survived the two films, and has been painted up to look like the cars in the first and seventh films for promotional purposes. Both Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker are said to have been in the car for filming at various points.
It’ll be auctioned on 16 March at Mannheim Pennsylvania during the ‘Xtreme Spring’ event, and has an appraised value of $200,000.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I mean this is cool. But they should put the submarine up for sale. Atleast high tech terrorist cant hijack submarines like cars
what submarine?
And good thing the supercharger is disconnected
The submarine’s a good idea, but can’t they just sell the God’s Eye?
I don’t know, whole thing seems kinda dodgy to me.
Underrated comment :)
Na I’ll pass, it’s got way to many gears for me.
me when I hear Dom’s Charger is being auctioned off.
Looks like The F8 Of The Furious cost so much to produce that they have to sell some old stuff…
I want it so bad! Then I remember:
So it’s an LS swapped Charger?
No, SBC swapped
Lol, I love how poor the driving position is
So… is the supercharger actually functional or just there for looks?
Looks
If you’re asking if it’s an actual supercharger hovering three feet above the engine, no, it’s a MadMax supercharger.
From a time before Fast and Furious turned into something out of a heist movie…
