all the value is in that "Vin Diesel, Driver" sticker on the side..

What a heap.

It's worthless as a driver, It's definitely no show car, not set up for drag racing, and mechanically I'm sure it would have to be done all over again.
It's a movie prop. not a car by anyone's definition anymore. Just a movie prop. Just like those fake TVs and computers you see in the furniture stores.

And although the movie did us a little due justice by featuring a GN in it's opening seen......It still sucked. Practically a cartoon.

Let some ghetto gangsta rapper buy it. Then they will bling it up with green emerald encrusted rims.

Looks better now than it did when it was up for sale a few years back. I recall it has a small block v8 in it?

ad says it's got a 3.8 liter turbocharged engine in it with 420hp...

just noticed the long handle next to the shifter.. that is the "drift" lever- crank the steering wheel and pull that to hit the rear brakes to get the car drifting...

There were a few stunt cars in the movie. I heard one was an actual GN and the rest were Regals with SBC's in them. One had the body mounted in a way that it could be lifted off and put on backwards for the high speed reverse driving scenes.

This looks like the one that was sold at Mecum a few years ago and brought $35K. The guy then waited 6 months and had been posting it on craigslist for $75K. I guess there were not takers.
