On the Auction Block: Fast and the Furious 69 Dodge Charger and 69 Yenko Camaro SYC.

Welcome to the second chapter of my "On The Auction Block" series, in which i will post some of the highlighted cars featured at the 2011 Palm Beach Collector Car Auction, March 18, 19, and 20. For this entry i have more Hollywood to show. The flipside however is that instead of these cars being owned by stars, these cars were movie stars themselves, being featured in two of the Fast and the Furious car films.

Car number one is the flat black 1969 Dodge Charger R/T which was driven by Vin Diesel in the 4th movie "Fast and Furious", and intended to be the reincaration of the Charger, wrecked in the first film.

From the outside the car looks like they've combined the front end of a 1970 car and the rest from a 69. Those who have seen the movies will notice the differences between the two. The first one looked complete and had the proper chrome grille surround from the 1970 Charger. On this one the grille is replaced with wire mesh and the surround painted in the same flat black as the body.

The interior of the car would make you feel like your in a NASCAR. There is none. There is only one bucket seat, a sheet metal dash, and a roll cage. Thats it. Seems a bit......unfinished.

Car number two is a clone of a 1969 Yenko Camaro. This car is sort of a star but isn't. It wasn't listed as the blue Yenko featured in "2 Fast 2 Furious", but it is, by apperance a perfect replica of the car won and driven by Paul Walker's character in the film.

Exterior wise the car is painted in the same blue paint with the same white Yenko graphics. It even features the SYC lettering on the hood and seats like the movie Yenko did.

Unlike the Charger, the Camaro's interior is definitely all there and all original. It may be a clone of a Yenko but it definitely has got the right looks.

Again, like the LaSalle there was no sale to be had for these two cars. Its a shame because i sure would love to have a piece of movie history.
