The car is an ongoing process. It is never done ! It will always require new work, new accessories or parts.
When a vehicle eclipses the flesh-and-bone like actors and becomes the superstar of a film or the urban scene —that's when it's a greatcar. There are dozens of memorable cars on film, but to crack the top, a vehicle must influence a generation, inspire car culture, and become the stuff of every kid's dreams. These are our favorites, in no particular order.

#Vanishing Point. Dodge Challanger
The 1971 movie, Vanishing Point, is the cult classic car chase film. From start to finish, Kowalski (the lead role played by Barry Newman) sets off for the ride of his life. However, the main star is the vehicle, a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, white in colour with Colorado license plates, OA-5599. I have many more images but they are reference style. The images below offer the best views of the entire car and are merely for viewing pleasure, not to point out what the car did or didn't have! I have also added images from other films that have White 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T's in them. These are: the Fox TV 1996 remake of Vanishing Point, Quentin Tarantino's movie, Death Proof, Audioslave's video clip "Show Me How To Live" and from the movie, Terminal Velocity. There are heaps of cool images, so, enjoy!!!
