Here's some pictures I took at out shop earlier this year of the '71 Challenger used in "The Green Lantern" with Ryan Reynolds, that came out in 2011. It was at our shop for a speedometer check and calibration.
2 Challengers were used in the filming this was the main car driven by Reynolds, it was 440/4 speed powered, (sorry no Hemi) and it sounded as good as it looked.....it was nicely restored, fit/finish was excellent.
This was by far the nicest movie car we've ever worked on....and we work on tons of them being close to all the major studios/hot rod shops, etc.
A few years back we worked on the "Eleanor's" from "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Nicolas Cage, we calibrated the speedometers on the Mustangs for stunts where the speed was crucial. Those car were the biggest POS's!!, they were cobbled together....shoddy paint, fit and finish....but as long as they looked decent on film.
