FILM HERO CAR
1970 Dodge Charger R/T
Fast & Furious franchise
The real B-body Charger R/T launched in 1968. The 1970 model carried the Magnum 440 V8 (375 hp factory) with a 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic, sitting on Mopar’s torsion-bar front and leaf-spring rear suspension.
Dom’s film car adds a 6-71 supercharger that pokes through the bonnet, an exposed rear differential, and matte-black paint. The on-screen 9-second quarter-mile claim is film fiction, but the car is a faithful tribute to street-racing aesthetics in the late 1990s southern Californian scene the first film documented.
