1973 Dodge Charger - Burn Notice

Cars are indispensable tools (or weapons) for spies. Perhaps James Bond was the first or one of the first to show this to be so. Often, in Bond movies, gadgeted cars were used to chase or get away from bad guys. And the scenes were spectacular, complete with explosions and impossible (implausible) getaway.

Years after Bond debutted in the big screen, Burn Notice in one of the cable channels portrayed the life and times of Michael Westen as an ex-CIA spy in Florida. Michael got around town in his all-black 1973 Dodge Charger. It had no gadgets unlike James Bond's Aston Martin. But it's cool nevertheless. Michael was an American spy (ex-spy) and he drove an American muscle car. Fitting.

The black Charger had shown resilience as it was blown up and still managed to make a come back after presumably some downtime at a repair shop.


It was blown up a second time. As far as I know, it might be for good. Though I don't follow the show closely.
