'70 Dodge Charger R/T (Fast n Furious)

This Hot Wheels is a special one from the Fast and Furious series.  Yes, it's Dominic' 70 Dodge Charger R/T.  :D

I bought it along with the Daytona and Supra.

The '70 Dodge Charger R/T was designed by Brendon Vetuskey, made the debut at Hot Wheels as 2011 New Models number 42/50.   Mine is a part of 2013 Hot Wheels Fast and Furious Series.

In 1970, the Charger was changed slightly. This would be the last year of the 2nd generation Charger and featured a large wraparound chrome bumper and the grille was no longer divided in the middle. New electric headlight doors replaced the old vacuum style. The taillights were similar to those used in 69, but 500 and R/T models came with a new more attractive taillight panel. On the R/T, new rear-facing scoops with the R/T logo were mounted on the front doors, over the door scallops. A new 440 or HEMI hood cutout made the option list for this year only. 

Dodge painted the hood scallop inserts black and put the silver engine callouts on top. New "High Impact" colors were given names, such as Top Banana, Panther Pink, Sublime, Burnt Orange, Go Mango and Plum Crazy (sometimes nicknamed "Statutory Grape"). The 500 returned for another year, but as a regular production Charger.

Interior changes included new high-back bucket seats, the door panels were also revised and the map pockets were now optional instead of standard. The ignition was moved from the dash to the steering column (as with all Chrysler products this year), and the glove box was now hinged at the bottom instead of the top as in 1968-69. The SE "Special Edition" trim option added luxury features and was available in as the 500 SE and R/T SE models. The all new pistol grip shifter was introduced, along with a bench seat, a first for the Charger since its debut.

A new engine option made the Charger's list for the first time, the 440 Six Pack. With three two-barrel carburetors and a rating of 390 hp (290 kW), it was one of the most exotic setups since the cross-ram Max Wedge engines of the early 1960s. The Six Pack was previously used on the mid-year 1969 Dodge Super Bee and Plymouth Road Runner. Despite this new engine, production slipped again to 46,576 mainly due to the new E-body Dodge Challenger pony car, as well as rapidly increasing automobile insurance rates. In the 1970 NASCAR season, the 1970 Charger had ten wins, more than any other car, including the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytonas and Plymouth Superbirds, thus giving Bobby Isaac the Grand National Championship.

The Dodge Charger R/T made many appearances in the Fast and Furious Movie. It is the main car that Dominic Toretto drives in the series. It has been destroyed and rebuilt and then destroyed again. The Charger made a return in the fifth film. The classic and the newer version appeared. A Charger Daytona appeared in the sixth installment of the series. It will reappear in Furious 7 as a hero car driven by Dom.

The Fast And The Furious

Dom has a 1970 Classic Dodge Charger that used to belong to his father. Dom says that he and his father built it together when he was young. The car is famed for its incredible power at 900hp and holding a record 1/4 mile time at just nine seconds flat, set by Dom's father. Years ago Dom's Father was forced into a wall at 120mph and killed in an accident caused by a man named Kenny Linder on a Stock Car race, it was apparently the last race of the season.  

However, after he finds out Brian's a cop he gets up the nerve to drive it, but is interrupted when Brian shows up. When Johnny Tran does a drive by and kills Jesse, a pursuit starts with Brian and Dom chasing after him. When Johnny is killed Brian and Dom meet up at a red light ready to race. They race a quarter mile nearly being wrecked by a train; after everything looks fine Dom accidentally runs into a semi truck. This sends him and his car airborne and totals his charger. 

Fast & Furious

The 1970 Charger is partially rebuilt by Dom's girlfriend Letty before her presumed death. After mourning over her death, Dom finishes rebuilding the car. When they go to capture Braga a big chase starts when Braga's entire crew goes after Brian & Dom. During the chase they enter a tunnel; Dom is then boxed in and is about to crash into a wall; he then jumps into the car next to him and the Charger crashes into the wall, violently bursting into flames. Towards the end of the film, the Charger R/T is revealed again in mint condition with Brian behind the wheel as he, Mia, Tego and Rico make an attempt to rescue Dom off of a bus en route to a penitentiary.

Fast Five

At the start of the film (in continuation of the last film), Brian drives the R/T in front of a prison bus with Dom on board and suddenly brakes; causing the bus to crash into the rear of the Charger and violently flipping the bus, in what aids and abets Dom's escape. Dom uses the Charger to drive to Rio. The Charger R/T is seen again on the Rio racing scene and was used to win an off-screen pink slip race for a Porsche 996 GT3 RS. Dom's Classic Charger is later destroyed by Hobb's armored car, quoting "You just made a big mistake".

Fast & Furious 6

The Charger R/T returns in Fast & Furious 6, in the form of a scale model, which is given to Jack. The scale model is an exact replication of the original Charger R/T that was used in the films series' first film.

Furious 7

There are two version of 70 Charger in the movie.  You'll see it. :)
