Organized by Bonhams|Cars, the online auction titled “The Movie Cars Collection” brings together some of iconic cars from the movies, an event sure to thrill collectors and pop culture enthusiasts alike.
This is the kind of opportunity that may never come again. From November 21–28, 2025, Bonhams|Cars will host an online sale featuring 50 film-used cars and motorcycles—from The Fast and the Furious to John Wick, Robocop to Taxi—all offered without reserve. For anyone with a passion for both cinema and automotive history, it’s a rare chance to acquire truly authentic screen-used machines.
Paul Walker’s Iconic Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII
One of the stars of the auction—and almost certainly the lot that will command the highest bid—is the 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII driven by the late Paul Walker (as Brian O’Conner) in 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003). Considered one of the most recognizable cars in recent film history, the Evo VII is expected to sell for €250,000–€500,000. Bonhams approaches this sale with confidence after setting a 2023 world record by selling Walker’s 2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R from Fast & Furious 4 for $1.36 million. And because this Evo VII is not a replica but the actual screen-used vehicle, expectations are high that bidding will soar.

French Taxi Legend: 1999 Peugeot 406 V6
Regarded as the most famous car in French cinema, the modified 1999 Peugeot 406 V6 driven by Marseille taxi driver Daniel Morales (Samy Naceri) in Taxi 2 stands out as one of the auction’s most special lots. An original filming vehicle, this Peugeot embodies French automotive culture on the big screen and carries an estimated value of €70,000–€120,000. In the film, it was driven by French rally icon Jean Ragnotti. Modified by Christian Bonnichon, the car was once part of Peugeot’s special collection.
Another highlight is John Wick’s 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1—one of the most memorable cars in contemporary action cinema. This particular Mustang is the fourth of five vehicles prepared for John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) and was driven by Keanu Reeves himself. Its aggressive styling and powerful muscle-car heritage place its estimated value at €100,000–€200,000.
American Icon: General Lee
The legendary orange 1968 Dodge Charger “General Lee,” featured in the 2005 film adaptation of the classic series The Dukes of Hazzard, is also included in the sale. This particular car is noteworthy for being the number-one stunt car and number-two filming car. Equipped with an Edelbrock carbureted V8 engine and B&M transmission, it comes with a Warner Bros. authenticity certificate. Its estimated price: €120,000–€160,000.
One of the Top Contenders: Off-Road Charger
The 1970 Dodge Charger “Off-Road,” seen in Fast & Furious 7 (2015), is considered one of the coolest modified vehicles in the franchise. With a rugged, almost Mad Max-style appearance, it features a GM LS3 V8 engine and automatic transmission. Modified by Dennis McCarthy of Vehicle Effects, it was used in the movie’s desert and mountain chase scenes. Registered to Universal City Studios LLC, it is expected to fetch €150,000–€200,000.
The Hot-Rod Charger Won’t Come Cheap
Another Charger from Fast & Furious 7—this one used in the Los Angeles chase sequences—is also up for sale. Sold to McCarthy’s Vehicle Effects after the film premiere, it remains in its on-screen condition. Although Bonhams recommends an engine block inspection, interest is expected to be high, with a projected sale range of €150,000–€200,000.
Another One Driven by Dom
Bonhams|Cars is also offering the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner that appeared in Fast & Furious 7. Registered to Universal City Studios LLC, the Road Runner features a 400 ci V8 engine and is expected to sell for €80,000–€120,000.
A Legacy from Back to the Future
Designed by Tim Flattery and built by custom-car legend Gene Winfield, the Police Cruiser from Back to the Future Part II (1989) is anticipated to sell for €70,000–€100,000. One of only two ever made—and the only one equipped with an engine—it was built on a 1989 Pontiac Fiero chassis and features a fiberglass body. Previously displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum, it comes with an authenticity certificate, though it is not road-legal.
For Those Who Want to Be Batman
This 1989-style Batmobile is a replica created by Warner Bros. and used in the 1992 Batman Stunt Show at Six Flags Great Adventure. Powered by a Volkswagen Beetle engine, its value has dipped slightly in recent years, but as an original Warner Bros. production car, it is still expected to bring €70,000–€100,000.
Recent Cult Classic: Malibu
If you’re a fan of films where cars are almost characters in their own right, chances are you’ve seen the 2011 neo-noir classic Drive, starring Ryan Gosling. The 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu that shared the screen with Gosling during the film’s interior driving sequences is now among the standout lots in this auction. Certified by William “Billy” Powell, the transportation department lead for the production, this Chevelle Malibu may not appear particularly striking at first glance. Yet, thanks to its emotional resonance and its role in one of the most stylistically influential car films of the past decade, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if bidding pushes its price into the €60,000–€80,000 range.
Became Famous by Backing Up
The 1986 Buick GNX took center stage in one of the most memorable action sequences in the entire Fast & Furiousfranchise—a series known for raising the stakes with each new film. This GNX is the twin of the car featured in 2009’s Fast & Furious 4, the one that enabled Dominic Toretto and Leticia “Letty” Ortiz to narrowly escape a burning, rolling fuel tanker in a dramatic reverse-driving stunt. The vehicle being offered at auction is the specially modified version built for those reverse scenes. Its entire mechanical layout has been inverted: the engine sits in the rear, and the steering wheel was reworked so it could be operated from the back seats. Because of these extreme modifications, the GNX is not roadworthy. Even so, its cinematic significance places its estimated value between €50,000 and €80,000.
A Piece of Robocop
Opportunities to acquire a vehicle used in the 1987 sci-fi cult classic Robocop are exceptionally rare. Designed and built by legendary custom-car artist Gene Winfield, the SUX 6000 was created specifically for the film. Constructed on the platform of a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and re-bodied entirely in fiberglass, the SUX 6000 represents one of the most distinctive screen-used cars of the era. Only two drivable versions were ever made, while an additional non-drivable shell was produced for destruction sequences. Anyone hoping to add this cinematic artifact to their collection should expect to pay between €30,000 and €50,000.
The Men in Black Company Car
Originally registered to Columbia Pictures, the 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria featured in Men in Black 2 (2002) has been part of the Ray Claridge Cinema Vehicle Services collection since 2019. While it may not command the same level of attention as some of the more high-profile lots in the sale, it remains an authentic piece of early-2000s blockbuster history. Its estimated value falls between €20,000 and €40,000.
A Rare Opportunity for Blade Runner Collectors
The 1982 “Everyman’s Car,” designed by visionary futurist Syd Mead and built by Gene Winfield, appears in the original Blade Runner—a film whose dystopian aesthetics continue to shape science-fiction design today. Featuring a fiberglass body mounted on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis, this screen-used vehicle was purchased directly from Gene Winfield and now returns to the spotlight through this auction. For collectors of Blade Runner memorabilia, its estimated price of €20,000–€30,000 presents a rare and compelling opportunity.
