a 1970 Challenger.
Like all 1970s hero movies (spoiler) it ends in tragedy with our hero exploding in a fireball (as is with Easy Rider, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Bonnie and Clyde). Making the two hours you invested in the hero pointless. Ridley Scott was to bring back that formula in 1991 with Thelma and Louise.
It's a weird unconscious connection that works in Mayfield Eight, by 1970s throwback comic book, with part Three, "Faster, Faster!" where I too use that same car. This time the Challenger is a gussied up police cruiser, driven by a mean, hard as nails state trooper:
