As one of the greatest car movies of all time, “Vanishing Point” has withstood the test of time as a truly great and inspiring flick. We don’t doubt that Vanishing Point, which stars an Alpine White 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T as the chief getaway car of driver Kowalski, was part of the reason Chrysler decided to revive the Challenger name in 2009.
Vanishing Point has also inspired generations of car guys who sought to build their own tribute to this classic getaway car. Rob Ida Concepts is responsible for one of the sickest tributes to Kowalski’s car, called simply “Vanishing Point.”
Make no mistake though, this grey-and-black 1970 Challenger is more car than Kowalski’s original ride by a wide margin. Under the hood is fresh 426 HEMI V8 cranking out plenty of power and hidden by a custom engine cover. But that isn’t the only custom piece on this Challenger; far from it, in fact.
The Vanishing Point Challenger features lots of custom bits, including the grille, wheels, and a flush exhaust system that exits through the rear bumper. This fusion of classic style and modern looks is incredible to look at and drool over. And as much as we love the modern Challenger, there is something about the classic that can never be replicated; soul.
