Why is the Mark IV Toyota Supra still such a desirable automotive icon? This bright-orange Supra used in a little-known film called "The Fast and the Furious" is at least partly to blame.
Although copied the world over, now is your chance to own a genuine, film-used Fast & Furious Supra that was actually driven by Paul Walker.
This particular example is said to have been used “for multiple interior and exterior shots” during the filming of the first two "Fast & Furious" films.
The exterior and interior features a number of period modifications, though the 2JZ-GTE engine appears to be mostly stock and is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
The Toyota Supra is set to go across the block at Barrett-Jackson's 2021 Las Vegas auction, June 17-19, without reserve. What do you think the final selling price will be? Will it sell for a steal, or will this be another record like the $3.4 million authentic Bullitt Mustang?
It is saveable! There is no bling under the hood... Interesting how the picture shows a shift knob and boot.
And BTW, it means nothing to me that this is from F&F. No value added.
I wonder if the extra gauges actually work? No need for them to in the movies for static shots.
A number two example is currently valued at $95,000; minus 25% for the auto, and that comes out to around $71,250.
Naturally, with rise in demand for Mk IVs, plus the value some might add on for its film legacy, and I wouldn't be surprised if this sells for more than number one money–$134,000.
Also worth noting, three Mk IVs sold within the last two years over on Bring a Trailer for well over $100,000. Of course, those were all "low mileage" examples.
Where's the Flux Capacitor? It must have one to be able to run a 10 second quarter mile in 3.5 minutes...
In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised to see it bring over a mil... just because of the provenance. Many of the younger folks view Paul Walker much like us old farts view Steve McQueen. People pay a LOT of money for famous cars, and this is without doubt Famous. Does that make it F & F & F?
How many of these cars were there ? most movies need back-ups or "crash dummies"
One old prop guy told me about building a corvette out of cardboard to push off a cliff and explode , because the original corvette they pushed off did not dive off correctly and did not explode !
I'm sure it will be great for the seller who hasn't even had the decency to change the factory original brake fluid. It's just another well-thrashed Hollywood heap, IMHO.
As a side note, I just ran across a few eBay pages featuring original He-Man Slime in sealed containers for around $200. Save your money, guys.
