The Most Expensive Vehicles Ever Featured in TV and Movies
There are some cars on television and in movies that are just as important as the main characters themselves. Where would Sam and Dean have been without their Chevy Impala on the show “Supernatural?” How could Marty McFly have traveled through time without his DeLorean?
And movies that feature cars like the “Transformers” franchise and “Ford v Ferrari” showcase the amazing capabilities of their star vehicles just like they show off the physical skills of their actors. But you won’t believe just how expensive the cars featured in TV and movies really are.
Ford Mustang Fastback from “Need for Speed,” $300,000
The 2012 Ford Mustang Fastback was used for the video game-turned-film “Need for Speed.” The interesting thing is that the Ford company actually sold the vehicle to the movie for $300,000.
The money allowed Ford to fund a non-profit started by actor Henry Ford called the Edith and Benson Ford Heart and Vascular Institute.
The Beverly Hillbillies Truck from “The Beverly Hillbillies,” $275,000
The 1960s TV series “The Beverly Hillbillies” was about a low-class family from the country who got rich after striking oil. So, they moved it on up to Beverly Hills in this truck which most people would never think twice about buying.
And yet, because of the popularity of the series, the truck was auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson auction house for $275,000.
Batpod from “The Dark Knight Rises,” $338,066
The Batpod was a speedier alternative to the Batmobile and was used in the film “The Dark Knight Rises.” After the movie, the Batpod, which is basically a souped-up motorcycle, was sold for $338,066. The weird thing is that it wasn’t even operable as a vehicle.
Plymouth Fury from “Christine,” $198,000
“Christine” was a film based on a Stephen King book about a car containing an evil supernatural force inside. Fortunately, there was nothing evil lurking in the 1958 Plymouth Fury when it was sold for $198,000, and thankfully, it didn’t have a mind of its own.
