The Fast Furious saga contains a multitude of action packed scenes and super cool cars. Growing up, I always watched these movies and loved seeing all the different cars they used. The most well known and popular of all these cars is definitely Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger. Let’s take it all back to the first of this growing series, The Fast and The Furious. Dom, played by Vin Diesel, and his father built this car. Sadly, his father was killed in a race driving the Charger. After his dad passed, Dom was afraid to touch this car. Eventually Dom was forced into driving the Charger and it became his go to ever since.
For the movie, there were 3 Chargers built. Two of them were used for stunts while there was one driven by Vin Diesel for all the glam shots and close ups. One of them was utterly destroyed in the final scene and another was restored and privately owned. The one that was used for the close up shots was featured at Universal Studios and is used as a show car.
