In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we delve into the world of movie cars with the iconic Wrath from the 80s film "The Wraith," famously starring Charlie Sheen. The team had to work tirelessly to restore this piece of cinematic history to its former glory, facing challenges along the way to get it up and running for the show. Joining Jay is comedian Jeff Dunham, a collector of unique movie cars like the Batmobile and Ed Roth creations, adding a touch of humor and enthusiasm to the discussion.
The Wrath is no ordinary vehicle; it is based on Chrysler's M4S prototype, originally designed as a pace car for PPG back in 1981. With Chrysler's blessing, the movie production had access to the original M4S, leading to the creation of six replicas for filming. The restoration process involved extensive bodywork, the addition of a supercharger, and modern technological upgrades that can be controlled through a smartphone app, showcasing a blend of classic design and contemporary features.
During a test drive with Jeff, Jay explores the Wrath's performance on the road, reminiscing about its history and unique characteristics. Despite encountering a few hiccups during the drive, the passion and nostalgia surrounding this movie car are undeniable, resonating with fans who appreciate its cult following and distinctive charm. Jay expresses gratitude to Jeff for bringing such fascinating and unconventional automobiles to the show, emphasizing the thrill and excitement of experiencing these iconic pieces of automotive history firsthand.
