Inside Look: 1970 Dodge Charger R/T from Fast & Furious Franchise

"The Fast & The Furious" (also known as "The Fast and Furious"), Is the First film or the First installment in the "Fast & Furious" franchise which saw over 5 films in total with another one expected. For those who don't know, its a well know action street racing movie, which featured a wide variety of Tuners. "The Fast & The Furious" came out way back in 2001. Since then a sudden influx of Tuner and street racing have emerged. No, they did not pioneer Tuner's or street racing but some could say They launched an era by giving it the exposure it need for the world to see.

Today we look at the Film's main Role. The 1969/1970 Dodge Charger R/T from The Fast & The Furious, Fast & Furious and Fast 5. The Dodge Charger made its first appearance in The Fast & The Furious in which it explained, That it was Dominic Toretto's Dad's race car But after it was totaled in a accident that saw the death of the father. The Dodge Charger was rebuilt and left in the garage as Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) was to scared to drive it. He later went to drive in a chase scene which saw him total the Muscle car in a collision with a truck. He later finished rebuilding it again in Fast & Furious (the 4th installment) but once again totaled it inside the mountains. We then saw it rebuilt again at the end of the film and then carried over into Fast 5 in which Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson smashed it with his huge Riot car. Throughout the film's, The Dodge Charger was continuously called "A Curse"
