Mel and anyone who likes Dodge Chargers,
I picked up a dual VHS set from the thrift store the other day with the name of "Crash Impact" and was made by the "PowerSports Video" company in 1991. It is a bunch of crashes put to music from a variety of racing sports, with bikes, trucks, drag racing, stock racing, sprint cars, Nascar... you name it and it is in there. When they were showing some stock car racing wrecks from the early to mid 70's they showed 2 different 68-70 Chargers getting totally destroyed in their ensuing wrecks. It was a bit sad to see, but at the same time it was nice to see some older footage with the Charger racing in it. Sorry no pics folks as I do not have video card on my PC that does "Video In". It's interesting and worth buying if you get the opportunity, though it is a bit long.

I went back and watched it again, and I tried getting some pics of the TV screen with my digi cam and they turned out ok. They are prior to getting wrecked and the pic of the red Charger turned out pretty good.....enjoy!

Woah, sweet!! I'll have to check into that. Thanks Grizz. :thumbup


I'm sure you've heard of it, but Vanishing Point is like the ultimate Mopar movie. Pretty cool Challenge in that movie. And the real car is in Floyd Garretts Muscle Car museum in Sevierville, TN. :toothless

HAhahaa, I've got that video! Bought it from a clearance rack at my video store, about 4 years ago. I also have crash & crunch, and a Bigfoot video. Those are so fun to watch

They actually had a small army of folks out scouring the US for 69 Chargers. I remember reading an article in Hot Rod magazine many years ago that said they went through an average of 3 - 4 Chargers per show!

Sad way to treat a classic......

There was a show about the show a few years back. If I recall they said they had 40 Chargers total for use during filming.
