What's Your Favorite Car from an 80s Movie?

72 Pantera — Banzai Runner, 1982
62 Ferrari California Spyder — Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
68 Mustang — Bullitt

Any James Bond cars from the era
Bandit 1 from …guess what movie
Black ‘80 Lambo Countach from Cannonball Run
and Ferrari Daytona of Miami Vice

rswrsrfxc

If it has to be a movie it would be that low budge movie The Wrath with Charly Sheen. He drove a dodge daytona concept that was kick ass. But if it was a TV show there is no question it would be Don Johnson’s Ferari Daytona in Miami Vice or his Ferari Testorostia.

My favorite Movie cars are Bob Falfas 55 from American Graffiti,( also the 55 gasser from 2 lane black top)
The 58 impala from Graffiti
The bandit, and the Trucks from the Bandit ( KW W900B, Gimmy General, Aswell as the Beautiful Pete in The Thrid piece of trash.)
and last but not least The General…
Did you Know, That the Magnum P.I. ferrari was a rebodied VW Bug for most of the eppisodes! When we were at Univeral Studio’s this past January on 1 of the tour’s that brought us by the movie cars they have on the lot they told us that and doing so broke my Heart.LOL

My favorite 80’s movie cars were the Bandit’s Trans-Am and that sick ass Dodge concept car from that movie The Wraith. not too many people remeber that flick, but that Dodge was BAD ASS!

1974 Dodge ex-police car; the Bluesmobile rules!

The 1965 Buick Riviera in “RoadHouse” with Patrick Swayze and the 1957 Chevy Convertible in “Heavenly Kid.” Cool cars, cheesey movies!

-De Lorean from back to the future
-knight rider
-trans-am from smokey and the bandit
-christine
-73 mustang from the original gone in 60 seconds
-herbie
-that dodge lookin thing from the wrath
-351 ford gtho falcon from running on empty would have to be number 1 tho

Besides the previous posted,

Jeannie Bueller’s Fiero in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Edith ‘E.’ Johnson’s Mustang in Cherry 2000
The Bluesmobile in Blues Brothers
Batmobiles
Fozzie’s uncle’s Studebaker in The Muppet Movie
Tucker Torpedo in Tucker: The Man and His Dream
Flounder’s brother’s Lincoln in Animal House
Garth’s Mirth Mobile (and limo) in Wayne’s World
Ecto-1 in Ghostbusters

and for an oldie, Jaguar Hearse in Harold and Maude

I have a few favorites.

The Rolls-Royce convertible from Sixteen Candles

The Ferrari Dino from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

The De Lorean from the Back To The Future series

The Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster from the Beverly Hills Cop series

That’s all that I can think of for now.

#1 A movie called Hot Rod grey primered 1941 willys gasser with a hemi
#2 better off dead Camaro (I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS)
#3 Hawian Tropic car off Cannonball run
#4 Fall-guy truck
#5 Mad Max black ford knock off looked cool except for fake blower
#6 used cars movie all those students driving the mexico cars

I also would have to vote #1 The “Delorean” from back to the future.

The Black car that Jack is talking about is “THE CAR” from the movie the car, built by George Barris {THE MASTER}in 1977. I know it is not a 80’s movie but… that car is just too bad ass to leave of the list!!!!

I need help, there was a movie produced in the 80s.. I think..
It was a black car, and no one drove it.. it was driven by the devil? Some things I remember from the movie, the car traps a guy in this shed/garage, and starts up and revs the engine and kills him.. The car ends up getting killed/smashed at the end of the movie, were it goes off a cliff, and gettin crushed by bolders!

Someone help please!

I don’t believe it.

The answer is OBVIOUS!!!

Mad Max’s Interceptor of course!

I think one of my favorites from an ’80s film would be from the movie “Cobra” starring Sylvester Stallone. He drove a 1950 Mercury. That was one sharp car. Big, long, heavy, and silver! Fantastic looking ride.

My second favorite car was the Hudson in the movie Driving Miss Daisy

Actually I think there were 2 Hudsons.

Mac

My favorite car was in the movie Black Stallion.
It was a 1941 Green Deluxe Coupe
I had one just like it.
Lots of Chrome
Chrome bumper guards and extra grille guards front and rear.

my favorite cars from the 80’s are anything from the bond movies. the hotrod from Cobra,the batmobile from Batman 1989.the station wagon from national lampoons.

it was never made into a movie, although i think it shouldve, but KITT from Knight Rider was, is, and always will be the best.

The GTO in My Science Project 1986 , with the blower sticking out of the hood. Nothing like instant major horsepower to scare the girls. I think he got it up to 120-140mph, can’t remember. If this was for 90’s cars, Eleanor hitting the nitrous would get my vote.

I’d have to say the Dodge M4S Interceptor from The Wraith as well.

1. The Wraith (1986)

Dodge M4S concept car Interceptor from The Wraith

My favs were:
1. Knightrider
2. Herbie the love bug (I know he was from much earlier than the 80’s but who cares, he was a car and one with a character!!)
3. Agreeing with Pedro, the spaceship in flight navigator

The black 4×4 Toyota Pick Up (88 or older) in Back To The Future.

I know it was a tv show but what about the Coyote from Hardcastle and Mccormick.

back to the future’s car.

The Dodge M4S from “The Wraith”

Car movies in the 80’s include:
1 The Blues Brothers (1980)
2 Hollywood Knights (1980)
3 Smokey and the Bandit II (1980)
4 Used Cars (1980)
5 The Road Warrior (1981)
6 The Cannonball Run (1981)
7 Highpoint (1982)
8 The Junkman (1982)
9 Christine (1983)
10 Against All Odds (1984)
11 Cannonball Run II (1984)
12 Repo Man (1984)
13 Tucker: The Man And His Dream (1985)
14 To Live And Die In L.A. (1985)
15 Cobra (1986)
16 Speedzone! (1989)

The best 80`film car for me is Doc Brown´s Delorean DMC 2 from “Back to the future”

There are many cool cars…the TransAm fron Knight Rider, the car from The Munsters, but i think the best is the Fairlane from Cristine.

honestly i must have watched corvette summer about 100 times considering i grew up in a home priveledged enough to have at any one time 10-14 corvettes from 1962-1976 and 2 of them were 1968’s with the 427 big block so i would have to say that car and also the dodge interceptor from the movie wraith the corvette can be seen here http://palmeter.com/StrangeCars.htm

DeLorean from BTTF. just like the other guy said. i love the movies

1970 Dodge Challenger convertible in the lame “Legend Of Billie Jean” (1985)

The DODGE INTERCEPTOR from the movie “the wraith” !!!
I have pictures of it on my cardomain page.
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1040472

I agree, the Camaro in Better Off Dead is my #1, too.
#2. Shelby replica from the movie Inner Space:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_2171-Ford-Mustang-1967.html?PHPSESSID=2576b2149354fd1ab2f515d302e2ba31
#3. 82′ Ford Bronco XLT “The Little Mule” in “Romancing the Stone”
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_21219-Ford-Bronco-1982.html
Other notables:
‘85 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante in “The Living Daylights”
‘68 Pontiac GTO in “My Science project”

Not movie cars but were in music video of the 80’s. ZZ Top’s Eliminator and later Cadzilla. Both of these cars rock!

Cameron’s dad’s Ferrari is a sick car. Preston’s dad’s Porsche was nice, and I loved Tony Montana’s Cadillac, and Omar Suarez’s Cadillac was nice too

fav 80’s car was the bomb stallone drove in Cobra! was made in 86′

honda 600 Z coupe from Police Story classic jackie chan

Definitely the Dodge from The Wraith.

I would have to say my all-time favorite car is the 1958 Plymouth fury from Stephen King’s “Christine”(1983), though the car used more closely resembles a 58 Belvedere Sport Coupe, because the Fury was only offered in white with gold trim.

Go to http://www.plymouthcentral.com for pictures.

1. The Dodge from “The Wraith”. I cant help but notice how similar its lines compare to the Acura NSX. Coincidence?!?

2. The Knight Rider

3. I know it wasnt a car, but the space ship from “Flight of the Navigator”. It just looked cool as h3ll.

The 1967 camaro from Eat my Dust

ECTO-1 from the original Ghostbusters…Classic!

http://joshinthecity.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/ghostbusters-ecto1.jpg

Definately Christine. The 58 Plymouth was a seriously bad ass car. Gotta love that movie!

I cant believe nobody has picked CHRISTINE!!! 1958 Plymouth Fury. Just think never have to work on it again when it fixes it self. LOL

The “Wagon Queen Family Truckster” from National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Truckster

the lambo and batmans car from the dark knight.

Yea, the DeLorean from BTTF is by far the coolest car ever. I still want a DeLorean just because of that movie.

Forgot to post http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro

What made this monster special was that Spicoli totaled it and blamed it on a rival high school.

The Dodge from the BB was a classic and one of my favorites as well, but the car thats my favorite is the ‘79 (Movie came out in ‘82) Camaro Z28 from The Fast Times at Ridgemont High!!

I don’t know when it was made but I nominate the lovely “Christine”

The Chrysler TURBO protoype, in The Wraith, or the De-Lorean in back to the future

knight rider car and the car off of the movie wreath the black car

haha, i really like the 69 camaro from “Better Off Dead” hahaha that thing was AWESOME.

http://www.betteroffdeadcamaro.com/

Another great car is the Camaro (i believe its a 69) in Better Off Dead with John Cusack

And no car represents what the 80’s was about than a DeLorean

its gotta the dmc12 from back to the future. My favorite movie of all time and the DeLorean was basically a main character.

Wow , look how many people don’t bother reading what the topic is before posting.

“What’s Your Favorite Car from an 80s Movie?” 80’s people not whatever you want.

Elanor does not count. that remake was in 2000 the original was in 1974

the escalade in are we done yet – 2007 are you a moron.

but with my rants being said, here’s an 80’s era movie vehicle that seems to have gone unnoticed

how about LoneStar’s Winnebago from Spaceballs.
I mean come on people a motorhome that can fly in space, hover in one spot inside a giant maid, run on concentrated liquid schwartz and leave skid marks in space.

Wow make confusion , not an ‘80 but : ‘The Car’ , was a Lincoln…
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075809/

It’s not a 70’s but ‘The Car’ -1977-

Repo man malibu ftw!

I would have to say the ‘67 Shelby GT 500 Mustang(Eleanor) from Gone in 60 Seconds

http://www.collider.com/uploads/imageGallery/Top_Ten_Movie_Cars/eleanor_gone_in_60_seconds__1967_shelby_gt-500_5.jpg

i wud have to say Night Rider or the Ghostbusters car

Here is The link for the Dodge M4S from the wraith:

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/KillerKaprice/TheWraith.jpg

I would have to say the chrysler concepct car. From the Movie The Wraith starring Charlie Sheen. If you havent seen it go check it out it’s awsome heres a picture of the car. It was called a Dodge M4S :

the A-team van was cool but i think maybe the chevy truck used to pull down that house in lethal weapon or the pace truck edition gmc that jumps the train in cannon ball run!!!! or how about the 1958 edsel that is blown up in used cars!!! or that benz convertible that gets blown up in beverly hills cop!!!!!!!!

I have to say Knight Rider. Gotta love third gens!!!
http://www.ridelust.com/wp-content/uploads/aa_1982_pontiac_firebird_trans_am_knight_rider.jpg

A repo-mans life is always intense.

BLUES BROTHERS POLICE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family Truckster Clark drove in National Lampoons. When you got it You got it and that car Had It.

http://www.leblogauto.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/Joest_Jonathan_Ouaknine/Cheech_chong_van.jpg

Ok, I’m gonna go with something a bi before then. 1973, American Graffiti’s Piss Yellow Deuce Coupe! Lol

the same The 1958 plymouth belvedere from the movie christine

The 1958 plymouth belvedere from the movie christine.

Sorry guys, But Im going to have to go with the Family Truckster than Clark drove from Chicago all the way to Wally World. That thing took beating and still made it to Cali!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Truckster

the 300zx that bruce willis drives in blind date!

The cadillac escalade in are we done yet, 2007 lol

MITSHIBISHI STARION

Yes Nes!!! Christine was from the 1983.

1958 Plymouth Fury “Christine”

2 1973 Chvrolet Impala’s “Batman” 1984 Batmobile (it took two cars to make the Batmobile…)

1959 Cadillac Professional Ambulance “Ghostbusters” Ecto 1

The first two DeLoreans from “Back to the Future” and “Back to The Future 2″ (the third sequel was released in 90′ effectivly disqualifying it from this list…)

1980 Pontiac Trans Am “Smokey and the Bandit II”

(ok so the 1977 T/A is actually more Iconic, and one I favor more, but “Bandit” needs to be included just the same. The 82 T/A is also nice, but ‘KITT’ cornered the market with that body style, even though That car…And KARR…cannot be officially included in this particular list~80’s movie cars)

The ECTO 1 from Ghostbusters; 1984.
http://www.moviesonline.ca/AdvHTML_Upload/ecto1ebay1.jpg

The Delorean From Back To the Future!

I’ve never watched that movie, but that one is like my dad’s car.

The high-tech, computerized Subaru hatchback that Jackie Chan and Michael Hsui drive in Cannonball Run. It has everything a guy could want gadgetry, a rocket engine and a built-in TV on which Chan watches porn! haha

http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/article/635/635169/cannonball-run-feature-20050728115651431.jpg

1969 impala from move boys in da hood the white one with hydroliks

I’d say KARR from Knight Rider. Even though it was only for one of the two episodes with him in it, if my car had Peter Cullen’s voice, I’d crap myself every time I get behind the wheel.

mustang from origanal gone in 60 seconds

Falcon from Mad Max!! That car kicks ass!!

It’s a tough pick between KITT and the Back to the Future Delorean.

http://www.seanfyfe.com/car/unclebuck/buck4.jpg
who could forget Uncle Buck’s old Mercury Marquis!

Sorry to all for posting that 4 times over, I’m at work and we’re having some CPU issues. OK back to wasting company time, sorry again!

Here’s another good one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FamilyTruckster.jpg
It’s the car from National Lampoon’s vacation. Based on a Ford LTD, it was called the “Family Truckster”, but when we were kids we called it the “Wally Wagon”. So ugly it’s good.

Mad Max Crazy Supercharged Falcon

toilet paper truck blown up in maximum overdrive. (1986?)

There are so many to choose from. But the best one has to be the Batmobile.
http://www.chickslovethecar.com/

planes trains and automobiles (if that was the 80s?) My rage against machines was just begininning, and there that “K”rapmobile was in the movies getting made fun of…It made me feel better. About time for another one..maybe a vtec crapbox this time…

Was Christine from the 80’s?

Quote from movie:
Elwood – Uh oh.
