A lot of TV series have special cars in them. Starsky and Hutch etc.
Which show and car did you dream of having one day.I always thought Magnum P I s Ferrari was the best
I also liked the KITT car from Knight Rider

Anybody remember the NBC tv show Hunter that aired in the late 80’s/early 90’s? It starred Fred Dwyer and Stephanie Krammer. Stephanie Krammer’s character drove a Dodge Daytona like this:
Well call me crazy, and they often do icon_cheesygrin.gif , but if I ever came across one I would be curious enough to buy it and see what I can do to make it reach it’s full potential. I honestly felt that Dodge could have done more to it but were rather restrained due to the issues of the period with insurance and gas mileage.
Perhaps do engine work to the existing motor and install a better turbo system or if possible, swap the engine and install a Hemi. A Hemi would make it great for the drags and messing with the exisiting motor to improve would make it ideal for the road course.
Nice car! I had never seen the show but from what you’ve said it sounds cool. Are there any repeats on now?
I remember TBS would air episodes of the show awhile back but finding an air date is few and far between. I do know that it is avaliable on DVD but I would recommend catching a few episodes on the tube before commiting. You know how disatrous investmetns in media entertainment can be.

I’ve got several box sets of Sg-1, Babylon 5, and Seinfeld. They are pricy and you’ve got to be sure you want it before you buy it. A good resource is Half.com
TV show DVD boxsets are really the only DVD’s I’ll buy. Movies have to really grab my attention in order to buy. I have all SG-1’s, Smallville, Playmakers, Twin Peaks, Rides, V: The Series, SLiders and I’m building on Silk Stalkings.
Speaking of Silk Stalkings. One of the characters drove a really nice Jeep Renegade. Seemed like a really nice cruiser and their resale value is high! I came acros a 91 Renegade with the asking price of $9,000! It had normal wear and tear but that just floored me. Then upon further review I learned that all Jeep Wranglers and their derivations have a high resale value. This is what the Renegade looks like.
Yep, I have all of Sliders on VHS and ST: VGR. I don’t buy a whole lot of movies either, I feel that you can rewatch tv shows alot more.
That’s a nice Renegade! Did you end up buying it or not?
I never did, it would be nice to have one, especially now. I feel that I could still make a profit from a limited edition.
Did we mention the ‘Cuda that was on Nash Bridges? That was a nice ride.
It seems like that needs to be a signature requirement for every cop based TV show, a flashy or signature car.

The Ford Torino in Starsky and Hutch is another example of that, a flashy police car.
It was your typical chopped Merc leadsled. There was also one in “American Grafitti”, but my favorite movie wish-car was the ’55 Chevy driven by Harrison Ford in that same movie. I know this is a TV show question, but it is sort of connected by the “Cobra” Merc reference. icon_biggrin.gif

I know Columbo’s car looks weird, but it is not a “spring roll”, it is a Peugeot 403 Cabriolet.
As “The Saint” Simon Templar has an immaculate VOLVO 1800 Coupé.
