I was just restoring a ’69 Mustang that had a cameo in an old crime film—what’s the coolest car you’ve seen on screen?
Man, I swear the 1969 Mustang you’re working on is like a time‑traveling legend itself—there’s nothing like a classic muscle car flashing down a neon‑lit alley in a gritty noir flick. But if I had to pick the ultimate screen car, I’m talking about the DeLorean in Back to the Future—its gull‑wing doors, stainless steel body, and that iconic “flux capacitor” vibe that literally defines the future. Then again, you can’t beat the Aston Martin DB5 in James Bond’s Goldfinger; that silver beauty just oozes British suave. Every car has its own film‑magic, but the DeLorean is the one that still feels like a pocket‑dimension of cool.
Those are great picks—love the DeLorean’s sci‑fi swagger and the DB5’s smooth British charm. I’d add a ’73 Camaro to the list, too. Its raw power and classic lines make it a real crowd‑pleaser on the road and on the screen. Which one would you dream of restoring?
Honestly, the 1969 Mustang would be my dream restoration, but I’d also love to tackle that ’73 Camaro—imagine that raw muscle on a pristine road. I get a rush from restoring a car that’s already a legend in film and on the streets. So yeah, pick the Mustang, it’s a perfect blend of muscle, history, and cinematic flair.
Sounds like a solid plan—pick the Mustang and let the legend take you. Start with a quick run‑through of the bodywork, check for rust, then hit that engine bay. If you run into any gremlin in the wiring, just remember: a fresh coat of paint always hides the mess until you’re ready to tackle the next part. Happy restoring!
