Too bad I don't have room for it. ;) Kidding......

There's not one thing about that car that I find remotely interesting.

 

[Stormer]

I like the car minus all the special effects.... Suicide doors get a thumbs up from me though.

Buy a '60s Lincoln then instead of another Imp

Then buy a Lincoln Continental of that era and have it right from the factory; designed under Elwood Engel like the 64 and up Imperial anyways.

 

[Stormer]

Nah, maybe a crown coupe though. Couldn't be too tough to make em open the other way.

Actually, that is a "D"-body, not a "C"-body.

It might be worth $170K IF the weapons systems were real. Movie provenance does NOT make a car worth more money. It makes the history interesting, but adds not a penny to the worth.

Really? You should tell that to all the guys spending **** tons of money on movie cars. Did you watch Eleanor sell a few months back?

Depends on the status of the movie itself. I think the Mustang from "Bullitt" would catch record high money, others have proven this as well, thinking of the Aston Martin DB 5 from "James Bond 007". Even the Pope's former shabby VW Rabbit got about 50k. Chasey Lain movie vehicle ? I don't know.

Perhaps IF the car is the actual focus of the movie (Batmobile, Green Hornet, etc) and you have one of one or two...maybe. But, with the 500 or so Eleanor Mustangs running around, we know that at least 498 of those were NOT in the movie. A replica of a movie car is exactly that - a replica - and has NO movie provenance, other than it is a lookalike. Let's see, Dukes of Hazzard, Gi60S, Starsky and Hutch, A-Team, even Cars and Doc Hudson...you get my drift, I hope. Point is, a movie part does not give something a higher value than the same item that was not, nor does being in a movie provide more value to that car. If people are that vain to pay more because a celebrity or politician had his/her butt in the seat, then they're fools that need to part with their cash.

They only thing for me that makes such an original movie car interesting is that you have footage of this very car from back in the day. Would make it for me in the way more valuable as old documents that come with the car, but not by hundreds or thousands of percent. But in general there are more than enough people who think so.

From what I remember the original Aston was stolen, and has never been seen since. Probably sitting next to Dean's 550.

There were a few made as far as I know, one of two with working gadgets that was used for promotion only though was the one recently for sale.

I have enough green hornet cars. 1/64 scale!
