It's not a movie car, but one that most anyone who watched TV in 1968-69 will remember...Mannix's Dart GTS 340 convertible, with subtle "kustom" work by Barris.
I loved it then, and it's in my garage now. Tracked it down ten years ago and bought it.
Then I got in touch with Mannix star Mike Connors and reunited him with the car for a magazine article and TV segment I did.
That day, the inner kid in me had a lifelong dream come true. Pretty cool feeling.
Nice one Van!
It looks like a car Dodge could have made. Barris didn't go overboard on that one.
Neat story that you hunted and found it.
The signed photo of the reunion is a fantastic memento from that day!
Thanks, Rich and JD! Here's a YouTube link to the TV segment I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBOAJSF1ypA
