Blade 1968

The studio kept the car after “Trinity” wrapped in 2004. When plans for a fourth movie fell through, it was sold to a private owner in Vancouver who installed a 440. He put it up for sale on Craigslist in 2006 for $40,000. The current whereabouts of the car are unknown, but with interest in muscle cars skyrocketing and movies based on Marvel properties leading the box office, it could be worth several times that price.Although Blade never had a car before reaching the silver screen, the design used in the movies borrows heavily from his comic book arsenal. His black 1968 Charger R/T appears stock on the outside, retaining the chrome trim and rally wheels of the original along with a hood scoop indicating a 440 Six Pack in the engine bay. Inside, a collection of toggle switches on the console activate the features, including vampire-melting UV lights and nitrous injection. A holster holds a shotgun loaded with Blade’s signature garlic-filled silver bullets.

The car plays a major part in the first and third films, but with most of “Blade II” shot in Eastern Europe, scenes with the Charger had to be cut back because mechanics familiar with American muscle cars and classic Mopar parts weren’t readily available.
