I have to say that the V8 interceptor from Mad Max and Road Warrior is my favorite from this list!

I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was about a kid (dead?) that drove this black car. In the end of the movie the hero (dead kid) drives it through the bully kid (whom i assumed killed him) and the bullies car explodes.


edit...found it. The Wraith. Car number 10 on this site

I see the General Lee there. Wrecked more than 200 during production. I knew a guy who had built a pretty nice replica back in the mid 1980s. It was close enough for the 8 year old I was. biggrin

Yeah, the Lotus Esprit from "The Spy Who Loved Me" is my favorite Bond car. I had a diecast model of the car when I was a kid.
