The famous vehicles for sale at Barrett Jackson this week

Stallone's Ford F150 that West Coast Customs built for Sly to drive in the movie the Expendables

Bret Michaels 1969 Camaro

Frankencuda http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/troy-brumbalows-frankencuda-design-by.html which is said to be int he 5th Fast and Furious movie, and corroborated http://fast-and-furious-5-movie-trailer.blogspot.com/2010/08/fast-and-furious-5-movie-pictures.html but my guess it's just a cameo split second moment... not more than 20 seconds screentime.

Jesse James 1954 Chevy 210 built on his TV show by Gene Winfield, Bill Hines, Dick Dean, Fat Jack, Norm Grabowski and Jesse.

Alan Jackson is selling 3 cars, a 1970 Ram air IV GTO, 1970 Challenger R/T, and a 1967 Vette

A Cadillac that Elvis gave his dentist

and NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick is bringing 13 cars from his collection.

For an easy going enjoyable older movie, DC Cab. Its rated R, so send the kids to the other room, but Mr T, Gary Busey, Max Gail, and Bill Maher star


Sounds like a Richard Pryor swearfest, but it's got Checker cabs throughout, car chases, good guys becoming a team and facing the bad guys, solving a kidnapping, and overcoming adversity.

In the movie "The Great Race" you may have liked the "Leslie Special" ... but did you think they'd ever put it in another movie? I'm 1st to notice

There are differences, but the grill, hood ornament, and distictive doors are the same. The Leslie Special was made for the movie "The Great Race" and is not a vintage real car, it's a custom built to look like the Thomas Flyer that won the 1907 Paris to Peking race http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/winner-of-1907-paris-to-peking.html .

Both movies are Warner Brothers Pictures, and that makes it more possible that its the same car... what else would a movie company do with a movie car after the publicity is over for the first movie it was featured in?

http://www.imcdb.org/movie_65446-The-Ballad-of-Cable-Hogue.html demonstrates that no one has identified the car yet on the IMCDB site











Gotta love old movies for cool unusual cars
and I was really surprised to discover this famous car isn't mentioned to have been in a 2nd movie anywhere on the internet. But it is undeniably the same car painted green, and until now, nothing was on the internet about it.
