This
is a real car, but it's hard to say how much was kept "stock"
and how much is Hollywood. Nevertheless, it's cool car,
and for a car movie, The
Wraith
is not half bad.
The
engine shot probably has special effects done to it, so
I wouldn't put a whole lot of trust in what you see.
The
car appears to be a fiberglass or composite body over some
kind of chassis, such as an open wheel or indy type.
There
are other cars in the movie, such as a 1960's
Barracuda, Custom Corvette,
and a Trans Am. Dennis
Quaid, Charlie Sheen, and Clint Howard (Ron "Richie
Cunningham" Howard's brother) are in it. There are
some pretty funny scenes, mainly from two idiot characters
Skank and Gutter Boy.
The
Wraith - He's not from around here. Featuring the PPG
Dodge Turbo Interceptor concept car.
Six-pack:
Mopar Street Muscle In The 60s - Chrysler Corporation
really grabbed enthusiasts' attention with the actual performance
options on their vehicles. One of the wildest of these options
was the "Six-Pack". The Six-Pack option, available
on certain models and engines, included 3 two-barrel carburetors.
Not only did this arrangement look impressive, but it also
produced some impressive horsepower figures and was bolted
onto some of the most legendary engines Chrysler ever produced.
This book covers not only the engines, but also the cars they
came in, the development history, advice for tuning and modifying,
and information on other Chrysler performance models.

Mopar
Muscle: Fifty Years - "This lavishly produced book
is definitely a feast for all fans of this line of cars: the
photography (by David Newhardt) is absolutely stunning. Not
only are the pictures big, and of the highest quality, but
the thought that has gone into their composition is plain
for all to see. It could be argued that given the striking
nature of these cars, and the wonderful backdrops, it would
be hard to go wrong, but Newhardt went the extra mile here,
and it shows. The story is also very comprehensive, listing
all of the cars from the line, and taking time to tell the
story in a well-researched, yet caring way."
