I have worked in the 'Hollywood North' film production aspect of Vancouver for almost 20 years, and one of my hobbies is collecting Movie/TV cars.
My field of work is picture cars, stunt cars, and am a professional driver. When I can I like getting cars after production, sometimes it's for fun - sometimes they have some value. So after filming 13 seasons of Supernatural up here in Vancouver, I started scrounging around for some of the cars I knew were used in the series, and just this October ended up buying 2 screen used vehicles, and helped a friend get a somewhat authentic, somewhat Imposter Impala from the show.
My car here, is a rescue of the actual screen used Demon Hunter Gordon's car as seen in multiple episodes of Season 2 of the series.
His red 1978 El Camino with a honkin' 454 - found just exactly the way it was, discarded after filming.
The people at these sites were guessing at the year, but it's a '78:

So I think I'm just going to get it running - and not do a full restore even though right now it's a pile... I have owned several General Lee's and there is just something about leaving things be and just having fun.
Thanks for having me in your forums!
