Everyone with style is aware of that 2 Fast 2 Furious is a good film. Amongst the foolish plot surrounding Paul Walker’s Brian going undercover to bust a drug lord, 2F2F has the introduction of Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson’s fan-favorite characters, iconic automobiles like Brian’s silver R34 GT-R, the flashy panorama and fashions of Miami, loads of ridiculous automotive CGI, and the perfect character that the F&F franchise has ever seen: Devon Aoki because the pink S2000-owning Suki.
One of the perfect automotive scenes within the film entails Brian and different drivers auditioning for the drug lord by racing throughout town. The heroes drive a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 and an Eclipse Spyder, whereas the villains are in a inventory C5 Chevy Corvette, a Yenko Camaro, a 1970 Dodge Challenger and a Saleen-modified Mustang. At one level the Mustang will get crushed between two semi vans, and now that very ‘Stang is being auctioned by Mecum in Kissimmiee, Florida in January.
It turns out the car isn’t a legit full Saleen construct, however a 2002 Ford Mustang GT that was fitted with the bodykit, brakes, heart exhaust, gauges, seats and suspension from the Saleen S281. It’s painted Liz-Stick Red — sure, that’s the precise colour title – and it has an unmodified 4.6-liter V8 engine and an computerized transmission. Various “2F2F” stickers have been added, together with within the engine bay.
The odometer lists simply 582 miles, and the automotive seems pristine and brand-new normally. That’s spectacular on condition that this automotive actually was crushed by the semis throughout filming. Mecum says the Mustang was rebuilt by Mason’s Hotrods and Hobbies in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It’s one among 5 Mustangs that have been utilized in filming of the film, and quantity 88 out of 120 whole automobiles utilized by the manufacturing.
Mecum’s estimate for the Mustang is $60,000 to $90,000, fairly a bit greater than these sometimes go for. I’ve by no means been a fan of the New Edge Mustang, however I’ll admit they appear fairly rad when achieved up in Saleen gear — that inside is only a nightmare, although. The Kissimmee public sale will run from January 2 to the 14th.
