I agree with a lot of the choices already named: the Bandit's Trans Am (original 1976 one), the A-Team van, the Landmaster from Damnation Alley, Airwolf, KITT, etc.

I also wouldn't mind that rig from the Highwayman.

Cobra had some pretty slick vehicles on GI Joe, if you want to get into cartoons. I always liked the HISS tanks.

If you want vehicles with a certain junky coolness, there is also the Screaming Mimi from Riptide, the Titanic from Trapper John or the Vulture from Salvage I. There must be more.

The A-Team van, damn good choice.  The SeaQuest sub good choice as well.  Do any of you guys remember that car from that short lived show HARDCASTLE &McCORMICK?

AndyC

Yep, the Coyote. Cool car, and the show had a cool theme song. Wish I could find a full-length verson on CD.

Chadzilla

Kolchak's Mustang convertiable from the series and Rockford's car (I am dating myself horribly here)

D'oh! Okey on the first movie with Keaton. The Grenade Hub caps were a surprise! Perfect for "Car wars". Still prefer the 60's car, though. Guess  it shows my age, as i remember Caddy tail fins as "current styling". Ooooh! Super  car! "Super-Caaaah! ..Super-Caaaah....."

Flangepart

Has anyone picked the "Fireball XL-5" yet? Right up there with Super car! Oh, and the Captain Scarlet Angle Fighters and the Spectrum mobile.

Flangepart

Heck, as a matter of fact, you could have a whole wing dedicated to Garry Anderson alone! The Eagles and hawks from Space:1999, alone, are worth the price of admition.

AndyC

Has anybody suggested the Mach 5 yet?

mr. henry

easy!!!!!!!!

i'd take THE VAN from the movie THE VAN!!!

doesn't anyone remember that shag-carpeted thing?!

AND it even had a toaster AND a waterbed AND an 8-track.

AND a bubble window AND it was nearly two normal vans long.

AND it was canary yellow. AND...

AND i would work at a car wash run by danny devito!

damnit i'm gonna go for a drive in my chevy van right now!

Jim Hepler

The..  Vehicle from Damnation Alley.  Mad Max's interceptor.  James Bond's Aston Martin.  And...  TheBus from The Bus.

BlackAngel

Oh snap! I remember that big ass helicopter from Riptide.  With the big ass grin in the front.  And if your going to cartoons, how about every vehicle in Mask, From Switchblade to Rhino.

What is also a good choice, that pick up truck in the Fall Guy.

AndyC

Just reminded me of the van from Freeway Death Car, or whatever the movie was called. I just liked the way the cover was left off the motor, so the driver had this big chromed-up V8 sitting right next to him.

AndyC

The challenger from Vanishing Point

Jay O'Connor

If we can go with cartoons...

I'd take the Phoenix from "Battle Of The Planets"

The train from "Galaxy Express 999"

and Fujikuro's Dempaden  from "Iria"

Redjack

The Nautilus from 20,000 leagues..   dripping with style.


The Mach 5  -  Those retractable buzz-saws would come in so handy for removing pedestrian traffic at rush hour

The Time Machine or the Tardis,  its a toss up.


That SUV thing from  Spacehunter
