I am a elvis fan & a NCIS fan. There is a lot of dodges in elvis movies & in NCIS tv shows. Has anyone else noticed that ? I have heard that Mark Harmon is a mopar man along with Goldburg & Hulk Hogan. WHO ELSE IS INTO MOPARS ?:headbang:
 
Goldberg and booker t were in ch town wrestling a few years back they drove by a gas station I was at they turned around and came back just to see my car. both of them were down to earth soft spoken men nothing like there characters lol
 
not sure about actual actors but all the "cool" cartoons drive them

there was young homer in a 70 roadrunner ?


snake in a 74 charger

boomhauer in what might be a hemi A body?


and boomhauers back up car, 70 superbee
 
I am going to show my age , but there were a lot of cool mopar's on the Beverly Hillbilly's back in the day!
 
Yeah,I remember the red '70 Challenger Convert on the Beverly Hillbillies. I grew up close by where Hulk Hogan lived and yes he is a Mopar Man. He use to visit the Dodge dealership I worked at with his son when he was just a little one.
 
The Bluesmobile is a 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan that was prominently featured in the 1980 film, The Blues Brothers.
 
Bill Goldburg has quite a few mopars, he was at carlisle a few years back. Also I remember seeing an episode of american chopper where Paul Sr. was getting a bike out of his home garage and in the background was a black '69 superbee.
 
Marcus Whelby MD drove a Chrysler Imperial , and MR Eds dad had a early 50s dodge pick up , Adam 12 drove Satellites and Ramblers . The ranger on Flipper has a Jeep pickup , and lets not forget the the Mopars the Bradys drove , 71 barracuda & Satellite wagon . Dennis Weaver had a 4dr Valiant in the movie Duel . Also just about every time you hear a car start in the movies its a Mopar starter sound .
 
I just found this one last year.
Had you?

Vin Diesel loves Mopars! Have you ever noticed in just about every movie he is in he drives a black Mopar. Knockaround guys he drives a black Dodge van, Fast and Furious, he drives a black Charger, Black Challenger.

Dazed & Confused- Ben Affleck drives a 73-74 Duster
 
I'll date myself here too, but Mannix drove what looks to be a GTS 'vert -

yea, the dart that mannix drove was built by barris,, every elvis movie he is driving a mopar, i met goldburg once he is a down to earth guy
 
It seems like tv shows always have one make of vehicles. Criminal Minds has chevy, Bones has Toyota and NCIS has Mopar! I love NCIS and I LOVE Gibbs' Hemi Challenger!
 
My Buddy has a w500 dump truck that was in a whoopi Goldberg movie but we can't seem to find it. This truck was restored for the movie and than sat until he bought it.
 
And don't forget the Mod Squad- they had a cool 72 challenger convertible- and YES I said a 72- it was a 71 that had been converted to a 72 for the show, except they did not change the 71 side markers or strip!!
 
can't remember the title, but one Elvis movie (ill Bixby costarred)they drove a 67-69 Dart convertible. Also there is a commericial for Valvoline(or some oil)that at the end shows what appears to be a late 60's Mopar (has delta taillights). The general tire/American tire commericial starts out showing the dash of a car that resembles and a-body non ralley dash.
