At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD VeilSide Fortune Coupé, driven by Han Lue in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, sold for £911,000—around $1.23 million. This wasn’t just any RX-7; it was one of only two remaining from the 2006 film, a car that brought Japanese car culture to the big screen.
Can’t wait for the next Fast & Furious? Well, a Florida highway probably isn’t on your checklist, but that is exactly where this scene unfolded, involving a Toyota Supra. It basically tore through the Gandy Bridge at a blistering 93 mph in a 55 mph zone.
In the sprawling digital bazaar of Facebook Marketplace, where rusty lawnmowers and questionable couches vie for attention, a creation emerges that defies logic and demands a double-take. Listed for $6,000 in Tinley Park, Illinois, this 2004 Volkswagen—part Jetta, part Golf, looks like it rolled straight out of a Mad Max set.
This isn’t some backyard kit car slapped together by an overzealous fan. Mecum’s 1989 Batmobile is an officially licensed Warner Bros. creation, built as a stunt and exhibition vehicle for Tim Burton’s Batman (1989). Recently restored to its gothic glory, it’s a functional piece of movie history that’s less about daily commutes and more about embodying Bruce Wayne’s brooding alter ego. No official price estimate is listed, but a similar ‘89 Batmobile fetched $1.5 million in 2022, so brace your wallet.
Batman fans, you’ll love this! This fantastic replica began as a 1979 Lincoln Continental and was redesigned to look like the classic 1960s Batmobile, made by George Barris for the Batman TV series, originally based on the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car.
