Default Big And Small Screen Cars

What is your favorite TV or movie car? Why do you like it and would you want to own it?

As usual I can't pick just one. I like the Batmobile from the 60's tv show. I also like the General Lee from the Dukes Of Hazzard, the Back To The Future Deloreon, and the Smokey And The Bandit Trans Am. I would love to own each one of them. The Batmobile will never happen but the other three could happen, at least a replica.

Bandit ever since I was a kid and see it for the first time. I also Like K.I.T.T. from Knight rider. Eleanor the mustang and Torino from Starsky and Hutch. Also I wouldn't mind owning the Mystery Machine

I assume you mean the Pontiac Trans Am K.I.T.T. Because there was a remake that used a Ford Mustang. The remake only lasted one season which is too bad because it was a good show.

Which Eleanor? The original was a yellow 71 Mustang Mach I while the remake with Nick Cage I think is a 69 Mustang Shelby.

The Starsky and Hutch Torino is an awesome car as well and I could own that. I took my drivers test in a 76 Gran Torino 4 door.

The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo? I've only see the animated shows. I can't really tell if their van is a sixties Chevy or Dodge van as they were both similar in style.

There was a show called Good Guys, only on for one season but it was really funny. They had a nice Trans Am in it

If a huge Knight Rider fans and once owned an '83 Firebird (yes, only a Firebird with the crappy 2.8 Carb engine) that looked pretty dang close to K.I.T.T. But the Delorean was cooler still. I was just watching a show called "Auction Kings" last night where they sold a perfect replica for $55,000. The guy who sold it was disappointed cause he had $60,000 into the car - it was absolutely perfect down to every label and light. It even smoked out the back. A producer from the original movie looked it through and agreed it was perfection and appraised it a $80,000

I thought Vin Diesel's Charger looked a little too cartoony. And this is coming from a guy who's car was portrayed in Pixar's "Cars"
