Not the best or your favorites, but some that sort of tried, but didn't quite get there ...
A. John Wayne and a '70 Trans Am (nicknamed the "Green Hornet") in Seattle in "McQ", the other “cop in a sporty green car chases bad guys around a West Coast city” movie:
B. "Challenge". Think, "Like "Walking Tall" (1973) with a Pantera.
C. Moonrunners. The movie that became "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV show - and not a Charger in sight.
Got more?
The McQ Trans Am was a 1973, in Brewster Green.
The Firebird from "Hooper"
What about the wagon in Harry and the Hendersons?
Karr from Knight Rider:
Aston Martin Vantage from On Her Majesty's Secret Service:
The 66 Biscayne from Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. I maintain that its a badder assed car that the Charger.

You're thinking of The Living Daylights
Burt Reynolds in White Lightning. IIRC, this car had one hell of a engine soundtrack.
I vote for the Fury in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot---- well, before the crazed hillbilly rolled it and started to shoot the rabbits in the trunk. Man....the 70s were weird....
I am all about Normas 1960 Galaxie wagon in twin peaks lately
I can't wait...New Twins Peak
All of them on Dazed and Confused.

I remember being really disturbed by that scene. I dug the car, though.
Anyway, the badguy Porsches in "Condorman"
Against All Odds. A really good car chase if you haven't seen it.

In reply to bravenrace:
I was going to mention all the 4-door Fords from all the mid-'70s Burt movies like Gator.
