Vehicle Description
This 1963.5 Ford Galaxie 500 XL R-code re-creation was featured in
the movie "Fast Five" - the fifth installment in the Fast Saga
movie franchise - and was driven by the character Tej Parker, aka
Ludacris (Christopher Brian Bridges). The renowned line from the
film, "When are you gonna give Martin Luther King his car back?"
refers to this car, which was featured at the beginning of the
movie and at the very end, portrayed as Parker's prize car. This is
not just a movie prop; it is powered by a running, period-correct
427ci V8 side-oiler engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission
car built by Mason's Hot Rods out of Georgia. The NASCAR-inspired
R-code is a lightweight powerhouse. This has the pedigree of the
R-code and the provenance of a movie car, all in one package.
