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.

This thing really needs a 440. I don’ even care about the fake blower. Just throw it away.
Has it got a million gears?
Did not connect the charger. And still wins drag race from JDM?
Can’t even afford it. I spend my money a quarter dollar at a time.
So a few celebs fart in a desecrated Charger with minivan seats, a 305 from a Parisienne station wagon, and a MadMax supercharger and they sell it for the same price a crusty 440…or hell, probably a 250Slant Charger would go for with less interior and a torqueflight?
I’d do it like Dom wants it: Hemi engine with a supercharger
WHERE IN PENNSYLVANIA? IM SELLING MY MIATA AND BUYING IT
I wish it doesn’t go to a non car guy or a reckless idiot.
Holy sh*t… I live in PA… I wonder if it will be near here
Would Drop the Chevy Motor out, put an LX and actually supercharge it.
