The Volo Auto Museum in Illinois, USA, has dug up three of the most nightmarish cars to ever grace the silver screen.
All are for auction, including the most terrifying car of all time, the immortal Christine.
The museum unearthed the cars from the auto graveyard to offer them on online auction site eBay from October 1st. Fans are able to bid for the Plymouth Fury from Christine, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Dodge van, and the Devil's Rejects' Cadillac Eldorado, all of which are for sale for the first time.
The most famous Plymouth of all time is Christine, the 1958 Fury that starred in John Carpenter's 1983 movie adaptation of Stephen King's horror classic. For the actual filming, Columbia Pictures invoiced 16 Plymouths. Even though on film they rebuilt themselves, only three actually survived, including the one now being offered.
An idyllic summer afternoon drive in a Dodge van became a nightmare for five teenagers when they were exposed to a crazed family of killers in the 2003 version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie is based on a series of gruesome real-life murders committed in the 1950s. Deliberately styled to look weatherbeaten, the van actually is a pristine 1970 Dodge A-100 that New Line Cinema painted to look dirty and rusty. A shattered rear window, bloodstains and slash marks remain as a reminder of the carnage unleashed by Leatherface.
Rob Zombie's 2005 sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, the Devil's Rejects is a gruesome horror movie. The murderous Rejects drove a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado convertible to their death in the movie's final scene.
The auction runs on US site eBay until October 10th 2006. |
