Top 5 Tricked Out Hollywood Vehicles

Hollywood features plenty of great cars and chase sequences, from The Dukes of Hazzard to Drive.

But sometimes the quirkiest cars are the most endearing. Here are our picks for the top five best-tricked-out vehicles from Hollywood.

1. The Delorean

As sweet as your ride is, can it travel through time? Didn't think so. Unless it's the Delorean, in which case time travel is no issue, thanks to help from the flux capacitor. The vehicle chosen for Back To The Future was a Delorean DMC-12. Created by John Delorean, it featured gull-wing doors and a stainless steel exterior that gave it an iconic role in the film. The car was only made for two years, from 1981 to 1982, with a production total of about 9,000 before economic conditions forced the company to stop making them.

2. The Aston Martin DB-5

If Sean Connery is the iconic James Bond, then the Aston Martin DB-5 is the iconic Bond vehicle. Featured in ten Bond films, including "Goldfinger," the Aston Martin comes with all the typical Bond gadgets, including revolving license plates, mounted guns and oil release to trip up pursuing villains. Since its release in 1963, the Italian-designed vehicle has stood the test of time.

3. KITT

Any good crime fighter needs a talking car, which is why Michael Knight teamed up with one in the 1980's TV series Knight Rider. Knight's 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, called KITT for Knight Industries Two Thousand, was always there to get Knight out of a tight spot. It even featured a handy "turbo boost" button. The Trans Am was a package that could be added to the Firebird model. A second version of the vehicle had been highly popular in the '70s.

4. The 1966 Batmobile

This list wouldn't be complete without a Batmobile, and our choice is the one used in the 1966 -1968 live action television show. In 1965, the show's producers approached George Barris to have him make a Batmobile for the production. Since the car had to be ready in just three weeks, Barris decided to use the already bat-like 1955 Lincoln Futura, created completely by hand in Turin, Italy for $250,000. The Batmobile was so successful that Barris and the producers decided to create three fiberglass copies of the vehicle in late 1966. The Batmobiles were displayed at dragstrips and car shows for fans to see.

5. Camaro

This type of list begs for a transformer, and that's where this 1977 shoddy Chevrolet Camaro comes in. Called Bumblebee, the vehicle winds up getting an upgrade, turning into a newer Camaro Concept car. Chevy introduced the Camaro as a competitor to Ford's Mustang in 1967. The car was popular in the late '60s and continued to be so through the '80s. After a downward turn, the vehicle resurfaced in the late '00s.
