Wheels of Terror (1990) was a made for TV thriller about a mysterious black car that goes around a small rural town killing people. The mysterious black car is a 1971 Dodge Charger, with the front squashed down to look like a frowny face, and is always dirty.

The model is amt 71 charger kit with the front modified. i cut out the center bar and heat bended it down, and the hood was heat treated as well. the 'dust' was done with a spray can of vinyl brown. i had to modify the front suspension to correct the wheel centering issue. I sold the model in 2009 to a collector/fan of the movie in the USA.

Its a movie car, so it could be a combo of years used

after cutting the top half of the center piece out of the grille, i heated it and bent it down. i then heated the hood and bent it down to match.
