What car from TV/Movie would U buy


If I had the money to buy or to duplicate I would like the car from the 1977 movie The Car. I would also like the Knight Rider car from the TV series.

The car in Dumb and Dumber. The one that looks like a dog.

The black '71 'Cuda out of the Phantasm series. Hopefully without the demons and the tall man as passengers.

One of the Audi A8L W12's that Frank (Jason Statham) drove in Transporter 2 and 3. The Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster that he drove in Transporter 2 would be my next choice.

Steve McQueens Mustang from "Bullit" or Eleanor from the remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds" or even the 4x4 Mustang in the "Thomas Crown Affair"
