No. None of the original cars survived. They were badly damaged during filming and returned to Chrysler. My car is probably the most filmed tribute of a Vanishing Point Challenger. It was used in the Audioslave "Show Me How To Live" music video, it was on the cover of Motor Trend Classic, it was used to retrace the VP route by Edmunds when the new Challenger came out(with a million hit video and feature), it was used for a French documentary with the director of Vanishing Point,various other magazines, Featured car and cover of the Inaugural Highway Earth show, many posters available online of this car,etc. The inside trunk is signed by many of the cast and crew, Chris Cornell and other band members,etc. It's evolved over the years to be a very accurate VP Challenger. Under the hood it has a modded 440(like in the movie), optimized suspension and a 5 speed(with proper Pistol Grip of course),etc. Inside and out, its very close to the movie car and has the power/speed to back up the premise of the movie.

I've seen this car personally.
This is by all definition a STOCK CAR.

He has a car(actually two) from the remake(not a good flick, IMO). Some differences between those cars and the originals,including bumper,mirrors,engine,dumb plot,etc.

Great, the boneheads at Ebay just cancelled my auction because the Polara has a functioning siren. So now I have to hope they will restore the listing copy and let me edit it to show non working emergency equipment and an antique liveried police car. Any one here have a copy of my ad by chance? Thanks
 
It wasn't but Ebay sent it back to me after I promised to mention that the emergency equip was non-op. Should be back up in a few.

...and sheep ran scared? Maybe that's just the Vermont version.....

Yes, nothing in NASCAR today can honestly be called a 'stock car'. Plastic snap on bodies over custom frames. They have more in common with the old Aurora Thunderjets.
