WWHSD? What would Han Solo drive if he lived now?

[joeranger]

So the Millennium Falcon is fast and can carry freight. However, it looks like an old piece of junk.

What would today's version of the falcon be? Some ideas...

 

[JoeG]

I would imagine something that looks stock and pretty utilitarian, like a Jeep Wrangler, but with a lot of "special modifications".

Solo is all about getting the most speed out of a ship he won fair and square from Lando, and he loves making "special modifications" to his decidedly older ship.

My first thought was the car from Two Lane Blacktop

 

[dbuck]

I'm thinking some of the vehicles in this video might be suitable.

This also happens to be the exact same car Harrison Ford used in American Graffiti

My thought also. I looked it up. It is a '55 Chevrolet Coupe.

Ha! Good call. The same type of car, only more run down and with a few special modifications ... like the Millenium Falcon.

 

[Jannix Quinn]

Obviously a 1977 Ford Falcon.

 

[The Dark One]

Obviously a 1977 Ford Falcon.

or a 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe.

I would think something like this, but with a supercharged engine and nitro system.

 

[The Mad Professor]

Are you kidding?

Han Solo would drive this:

With all the modifications from this:

and this:

 

[Amish Trooper]

I can completely see him driving a souped up van.

 

[JLeezy23]

Smuggle-mobile with hidden compartments, may not look like much but got it where it counts? Maybe a supercharged van would do the job!

 

[Ronan87]

Tuned van... that's a bit junky.

 

[CessnaDriver]

It would be an aircraft.

 

[Risu]

I'm surprised nobody's said it yet.

 

[rodneyfaile]

I like the speed and age of the car from Two Lane Blacktop in comparison to the Millenium Falcon, but I suppose a van does fit the cargo aspect.

The more I think about it, I don't see Han "driving" anywhere. He is a guy who wants to really travel. Might be getting away from the original idea for this thread, but perhaps something more versatile like an old seaplane. I'm sure he would have "Millenium Falcon" painted on the side.

Quick and dirty (and crappy) but you get the idea:
