Almost exactly 20 years after first seen on the big screen in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, the iconic orange Toyota Supra driven by Paul Walker has sold for $550K.The 1994 Toyota Supra, built by the legendary Eddie Paul at his Shark Shop in El Segundo, California, was sold at a Las Vegas auction over the weekend.
The winning bid was placed via phone, though the winner’s identity was not revealed in the video on the Barrett-Jackson YouTube page.The auction was one of the most highly-anticipated car auctions in the past few years, with at least a half-dozen phone bidders involved in the auction.
The car came with, according to the auctioneer heard in the video, ‘extensive documentation,’ including a certificate of authenticity.The car comes with the stock 2JZ-GTE engine, and it was primarily used for the film’s stunt work.
The ’10-second car’ was seen being driven by Walker in an iconic scene in The Fast and the Furious where Walker’s character Brian O’Connor destroys a Ferrari in an impromptu street-light race down the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
