Slowly but surely, any auto Paul Walker-related is coming out from hiding. While we know the AE Performance fleet was gradually being pieced out, it seems that cars related to the Fast & Furious franchise are making themselves known.
The latest to hit the auction block is a stunt car driven by Walker in the final scene of the first Fast & Furious movie.
Selling at a staggering $185,000, this Supra features a simple 3.0-liter six-cylinder producing 220 horsepower. Since it was a stunt car it is extremely reinforced and even features a proper roll cage. While I understand the Fast & Furious fandom is at an all-time high given Furious 7 is raking in the dough, I just don't see why anyone would pay so much for a stunt car that's clearly not the vehicle used in the marketing of the movie.
Check out the vehicle's stance, the brakes, etc.
Having said that, we'll take a wild guess that this vehicle will appear again on the auction circuit or find home in a museum. I doubt we'll be seeing it cruising down your local boulevard.
