Your Favorite Movie Cars from Fast and Furious, John Wick, and More Are Going Up for Auction
Tags:
From muscle-packed icons like the Fast & Furious Lancer Evo VII to the legendary 1969 Ford Mustang from John Wick, some of cinema's most famous rides are heading to auction. Car lovers now have the rare chance to own vehicles driven by their favorite action stars — and these aren’t just replicas, they’re movie history on wheels.
Where Are These Iconic Cars Being Auctioned?
The upcoming auction will be hosted by Bonhams in partnership with La Musée Pop Central, a pop culture automobile museum located just south of Paris. Known for its extensive display of screen-used vehicles, it’s now set to release part of its collection — giving car enthusiasts worldwide an opportunity to own some of Hollywood’s most memorable machines.
Franck Galiègue, the museum’s founder, began his collection with a single DeLorean DMC-12 — the same model made famous by Back to the Future. Over the years, his passion grew into a massive showcase of iconic movie cars, but he has now decided to downsize. Partnering with Bonhams ensures these treasures find new homes where they’ll continue to be celebrated.
- Location: Less than an hour south of Paris
- Auction Partner: Bonhams
- Highlights: Vehicles from Fast & Furious, John Wick, Drive, and more
Which Fast & Furious Cars Are Available?
Among the standout listings are eight vehicles from the Fast & Furious franchise. Leading the lineup is the iconic Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII driven by Paul Walker in 2 Fast 2 Furious. This bright yellow turbocharged masterpiece represents an entire era of early 2000s street racing culture. Its movie pedigree and association with Walker — a beloved figure among performance car enthusiasts — are expected to drive bidding through the roof.
Previous Fast & Furious vehicles have fetched record-breaking prices. Walker’s Nissan Skyline GT-R from the fourth film sold for over a million dollars two years ago. Following the same trend, the Lancer Evo VII could easily surpass expectations at auction, reflecting its cultural and emotional significance for fans around the world.
- Mitsubishi new cars like the Lancer Evo VII are known for performance
- Eight Fast & Furious hero cars featured in total
- Includes Dodge Charger, Chevrolet Camaro, Barracuda, and Buick Grand National
Other Fast & Furious Legends in the Auction
It doesn’t stop with the Evo. The auction also features the Dodge Charger and Chevrolet Camaro used in the mind-blowing cargo plane drop scene from Fast & Furious 7. Both cars were customized for high-impact stunts, exemplifying the engineering detail the series is loved for.
Other remarkable additions include the 1972 Plymouth Barracuda, the rugged Fast Attack Buggy from the same film, and a 1986 Buick Grand National seen in Fast & Furious 4. Each car has been preserved to reflect its on-screen appearance, making them equally attractive to collectors and movie buffs alike.
What About John Wick’s 1969 Ford Mustang?
One of the auction’s most talked-about listings is the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, famously driven by Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 2. This car embodies everything fans love about Wick — powerful, elegant, and menacing. Used in several of the film’s high-speed chase scenes, it captures the gritty realism that defines the series.
For collectors, owning this Mustang isn’t just about its muscle car heritage; it’s about movie legacy. It’s a statement piece that connects American automotive craftsmanship with cinematic artistry — a rare combination that guarantees interest from both collectors and museums. Enthusiasts of modern Ford new cars will particularly appreciate the lineage that extends from this classic to today’s Mustangs.

- Muscular design and cinematic history combined
Other Famous Movie Cars Featured
In addition to the American automotive icons, the auction includes movie vehicles recognized worldwide. One of the standout classics is the black Ford LTD Crown Victoria used in the original Men in Black film — the very car driven by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith during their interstellar adventures. Its vintage design and Hollywood roots make it a crowd favorite among nostalgic buyers.
Another gem is the 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu from the film Drive. While Ryan Gosling’s character is best known for piloting a Mustang in certain scenes, it’s this Chevelle that served as the movie’s true “hero” car. Emotionally charged and mechanically pure, the Malibu showcases the simplistic yet powerful appeal of American muscle cars from the 1970s era.
European Movie Icons Also Join the Auction
Not to be outdone, a set of heavily modified Peugeot 406 and 407 models from the French Taxi franchise are also available. Directed by Luc Besson — who also brought us The Fifth Element — these vehicles became household names in France for their outrageous chases and comedic energy. They blend European flair with turbocharged excitement, much like a French version of Fast & Furious.
Fans of Peugeot new cars will appreciate their transformation from family sedans into high-performance chase machines, complete with body kits, spoilers, and police outruns filmed at incredible speeds.

Why Are These Cars Being Auctioned Now?
According to the museum’s founder, this decision is driven by a desire to refresh the collection and pursue new automotive projects. As much as the museum served as a time capsule for entertainment history, the opportunity to distribute these cars allows more people globally to experience them. Some vehicles are expected to return to the U.S., potentially joining displays at premier institutions like The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles or the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan.
While it’s bittersweet to see the La Musée Pop Central collection disperse, it’s also a rare opportunity for fans and collectors to personally own vehicles that once shared screen space with icons like Paul Walker, Keanu Reeves, and Ryan Gosling. Whether displayed in a collection or preserved in a private garage, these cars carry stories that transcend their mechanical origins.
How Can Collectors Participate?
Bonhams has made it easy for international buyers to join the event online. All vehicles come with detailed documentation and provenance verification to confirm their screen usage and history. Interested participants can either bid remotely or in person — although attending in Paris offers the added benefit of seeing the full lineup under one roof before they find new homes.
Collectors based in the Middle East — particularly in the UAE — may find this auction especially appealing. The region’s passion for exotic, performance, and movie-themed cars continues to grow, and owning such historic vehicles adds exceptional prestige to any collection.
