L4D2 Race Car?
« on: November 27, 2010, 03:01:25 PM »
This is the race car from the first campaign in "Left 2 Dead 2".


I aim to add it to my auto fleet for our AR:SE games.

Question is... What kind of car is it? It looks like an old Dodge Charger to me. What do you think?

Plus, any ideas on where I could get some decals for the car?

My players seem to enjoy it a lot when a famous, recognizable personality (Duke Nukem, Lara Croft, A-Team, etc...) or vehicle (Batman's Tumbler, A-Team van, etc...) moves out onto the gaming table.

I am also looking for a good General Lee (Dukes of Hazzard) car.

(edit addon) --- I try my best to make all my gaming cars 1/43 scale if possible. Just to be consistent.

I think its a charger too, if it isn't by the time you have painted it up it will be :)

Decal paper and your computer printer are your friend. I recently did this "matchbox" size Aston V8


Should be a good selection of diecasts available topick from

For the General Lee you want a 69 charger.  For the Left for Dead car, looks like th ebest model would be the 70 Plymouth Roadrunner.  The computer image doesnt have the fiberglass cowling on it, but it will work in a binch.  The real problem is finsing these cars in 1/43, I use the same scale, and have yet to find any of the good Mopar's in this scale...



Bydand!!

Screengrabs from PC version/google and print em off on decal paper.
