2. Where can merchandise for Vanishing Point be purchased?

The best (and cheapest) way to find merchandise related to the movie (posters, soundtrack album, etc.) is to search the used record stores and movie memorabilia sites on the Web. There are also movie poster dealers who advertise in the back of magazines like Rolling Stone. Expect to pay about $20 for the soundtrack, and $20 to $50 for posters, depending on the condition and size. There is also of lot of merchandise auctioned on the internet auction sites such as Amazon.com and Ebay.

4. Was the "uncut" version of the movie ever released?

As far as I know, there has never been a release of the movie with the "edited out" Charlotte Rampling female hitchhiker scenes. I've heard plenty of stories such as "I know someone who has a copy" and "Those scenes were in the movie when I saw it in the 1970s", but until I see proof that it exists, I'll stand by my assertion that it does not.

5. Do any of the Challengers used in the movie exist?

I've been attending Mopar car shows for over 12 years, including 10 Mopar Nationals, and I've never seen or heard of anyone claiming to own one of the Challengers used in the film. Some of the cars used in the 1997 Fox Television remake do still survive, including one on display at the Garrett Musclecar Museum in Sevierville, Tennessee. It was used for the "Tunnel-Jump" scene as well as a few "drive-by" shots. It remains just as it did when filming was completed ("movie dirt" and all).
