The Volo Auto Museum is holding a number of auctions for cars which appeared on film, three of which may be of interest to readers of this blog. First up is one of the three surviving Plymouth Furies from John Carpenter’s adaptation of Christine. The going price as of this writing is just over 85, 000 dollars, or you can buy it outright for only 175, 000 bucks.

Also available is the van from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre remake.

Although it may look like a beater, the van actually is a pristine 1970 Dodge A-100. New Line Cinema painted it to look dirty and rusty. A shattered rear window, bloodstains and slash marks remain as a reminder of the carnage unleashed by Leatherface.

This one is a good deal, clocking in at only a little over 2, 000 dollars as I write this.

Lastly, I was expecting a slightly better showing from the Rob Zombie fans out there. The 1972 Caddy showcased in the final shootout in The Devil’s Rejects is up for grabs for a measly 500 and change. Then again, the low price could be due to the fact that the car was repainted and reused for the Bad News Bears remake. Where are all the splatter/sports comedy fans out there?
