Very nice.! |

The car used is a 1966 Charger... not a '67. The car used does not have the fender mounted turn signals that 1967 models used. The car is definately a '66 |

Probably a little smoke for the lights and shot through an aquarium or blue screen double exposure. Either should work -- Last edit: 2007-03-14 01:54:34 |

i aint ever seen the movie, im just a Charger fan, so i got one question... why the hell is the car in a tree??? |

Yes, '66 not a '67. That car came from my local area and was a very nice driver with a Poly-head 318. Wonder where it is now? Oh- and to find out why its in the tree, you gotta watch the movie. I will say that the car survives the "incident" ![]() |

I owned this charger in the late 1980, I found the car in Russell Co. Va. Had it painted Fire Cracker Red, the interior was in great shape, took the 318 apart, rebuilt it using a 268-454 lift cam, four barrel carb and good set of duel exhaust. Had the torqueflight rebuilt with a few tweeks. The car ran strong for the engine size. Got a chance to run 15 laps at Rockingham speed way during a MOPAR show, was pulled from track for going too fast! Not every day you get to run a 66 at the Rock! Sure do miss her, all I have now are the memories and a few pictures. |

Did this one not have retractable headlights, or are they just stuck in the open position? |

ALL of them 1966-1970 had retractable headlights. The car looks much better with them closed and I'm not sure why Burton left them open. |

That tree must be really strong to hold this car. |

This generation of Charger never got its due until this movie. The '68 has Bullitt, the '69 has The Dukes of Hazzard, the '70 has The Fast & The Furious, and the later bodystyle is seen in Burn Notice and Payback: Straight up. But thanks, Tim Burton for using this early bodystyle here. |

Hello Sir, sorry I came late to the party, but Big Fish is my favorite movie in the world, and just to feed my curiosity and my love for this movie I would LOVE to know where this car is and if it's still for sale. (you mentioned it was on San Diego, and the owner asked $19K O.B.O) |
