Yes, there’s a 1982 Trans Am in this photo. (Plus, talking about it gave us an excuse to use that Farrah Fawcett pic.) And it has the virtue of being the most attention-grabbing version of a Mustang body style that has been largely ignored by the diecast world. In that sense, GreenLight’s 1:18 replica might actually be more collectible than the original. As such, it’s more of an interesting historical footnote than a desirable car on merit. (Well, sort of.) But despite the aesthetic upgrades (and some stuff done by Ford too) underneath it’s essentially a Pinto-stang. Yes, there’s actually a 1976 Mustang in this photo.

For that reason we suspect that the sale price of the auctioned car will probably fall a bit short of the seller’s 7-figure ambitions.īut this got us thinking: What other movie and TV cars that are represented in diecast might be over- or underrated in the minds of fans and collectors? So here are five more star cars whose reputations don’t necessarily match where the rubber meets the road:ġ. You can still find them today at or near MSRP. It’s by no means scientific, but one of the ways we gauge demand for a car is by the diecast it inspires, and let’s be honest - while the 1:18 F&F Monte Carlo Ertl did several years ago is a solid model for the money, it isn’t exactly a speculator’s goldmine. But a million bucks?!? Especially since while some of the hero cars built for the film had big-blocks and 4-speeds, this particular car was built as one of the stunt cars for the jump scene so it sports a 350, an automatic, and a beefed up suspension.
Now, We think that the big Chevy - with its primered panels and beater body hiding what amounts to a Saturday night stock modified car underneath - is way cooler than some of the gaudy tuner cars that dominated the rest of the film.
The pre-auction projection is for $50-70k, but the current owner is a fair bit more…”optimistic.” He’s hoping for $1 million!
According to Hemmings, one of the 5 surviving (of 11) F&F Montes will be listed with Julien’s Hollywood Legends. An interesting news item showed up in our inbox this week: an announcement that the ’71 Chevy Monte Carlo that made such an impact (literally!) in the opening scene of the third Fast and Furious film - Tokyo Drift - is coming up for auction this weekend.
