I would gladly accept a 1970 model also...awesome cars.I will admit that when I first saw ghoster's answer, I thought of this. It's only a 1970 Challenger, but it's a 1971 movie.

This is the car model that I drove (not owned - parents owned it) in high school when I wasn't on my motorcycle.
You can't see the back windshield, but the glass was huge. The rear seat folded down forward, the front wall of the trunk folded down backwards, and you had close to seven feet of room to stretch out and look up at the stars through that big glass window. Yup, that's why I had it out on the country road at night - to lie back and watch the stars, away from the city lights. Yup, yup.

LOL, I bet the "stars" looked wonderful sir..lol
. Do you still have the car?LOL, I bet the "stars" looked wonderful sir..lol
No, long gone. My parents weren't the best caretakers of such things as cars, and it's long gone to the Great Junkyard in the Sky. (We went overseas for a year, left our Honda for my folks to use, and it was 50% rust when we got back.)
My dad has a picture...somewhere, haven't seen it in years, but he and best friend are leaning against the hood of his friend's brand new 1971 Challenger. It had a 440 Magnum engine or something monstrous like that under the hood. My dad said it was the most powerful car he ever rode in.
I used to live with this in my garage. I had to park in the driveway because of it. '70 Chevelle the SS one. It looked just like this.
I was not enticed or amused when I had to get to my jeep and scrape off snow while this stayed nice and warm

Ya know ex husband kept in in storage before. His mother would not let him keep it in driveway. (shades of Christine) He had it in storage.
We bought the house. Someone rear ended it while coming out of storage.

That sucks. I would have a stroke if I owned a car that nice and it got damaged.
My 2000 Roush Mustang GT got keyed in a department store parking lot back in 2005. The manager was very cool about it and we watched the footage on his security system. Three teenagers gather around it then key it and run off, too dark to get a facial ID unfortunately. The incident led to me trading off the car. The black paint was some sort of weird kind of paint, because the low bid to repaint and repair the car was 4k. They keyed it all the way down to the primer, from one headlight all the way around to the other. I was plenty pissed...lol
That ride is sharp! Very classy.My birthday present one year. (Dark green top over baby green)

Oh, Sir.
She was a dream to drive! Quadrophonic speakers, the plushest seats in the world, 20 gallon tank (That Baby drank gas like it was water.) and that 429 thunderjet engine? Sweet driving on the road.
I have your six.
I remember when I was a kid, my parents had a thunderbird. Can't tell you what year - I just remember that you had to move the bird's head up on the trunk to insert the key. I used to play with it.
I had a friend who said that his car would burp everytime it passed a gas station

That was quite the movie - especially at the very end. I recall watching it back in the 70s with a bunch of friends.I will admit that when I first saw ghoster's answer, I thought of this. It's only a 1970 Challenger, but it's a 1971 movie.
