In Death Proof, what car model does Zoë Bell test-drive for the Ship's Mast stunt?

In Death Proof, Zoë Bell test-drives a 1970 Dodge Challenger for the “Ship’s Mast” stunt.

The car is a white 1970 Dodge Challenger, chosen because it resembles the Dodge Challenger featured in the 1971 car film Vanishing Point. In Death Proof, Zoë Bell plays a fictionalized version of herself, a stuntwoman who persuades Kim and Abernathy to borrow the car for a dangerous game. Zoë lies across the hood while holding leather belts attached near the doors as Kim drives at speed.

The sequence is one of the film’s signature set pieces because it turns a playful stunt into a terrifying pursuit. Stuntman Mike, played by Kurt Russell, repeatedly rams the Challenger with his own reinforced vehicle. Zoë is thrown from the hood but survives, allowing the women to pursue Mike and reverse the film’s earlier pattern of victimization.

The Challenger is often confused with Mike’s cars. His primary “death-proof” vehicle is a heavily modified 1970 Chevrolet Nova, while another car associated with him is a 1969 Dodge Charger. The film’s Challenger is instead a tribute to Vanishing Point and the muscle-car cinema of the early 1970s.
