An auction of some of Hollywood‘s most insane treasures is slated to kick off in a matter of hours, offering bona fide goodies from every era of Western cinema.
But that’s just window dressing for the real story: if you really want, you can buy the fucking bus from Speed.
Over the next four days, Profiles In History will offer punters the ability to scoop up hundreds of props and costumes from films like Jurassic Park, Top Gun, Alien, Independence Day, and Wayne’s World, just to name a few.
Fancy Marty McFly‘s hoverboard from Back To The Future? The original prop used by Michael J. Fox could be yours when it goes under the hammer, where it’s expected to sell for a minimum of $26,000.
Still feeling the sci-fi vibes, but want more of a statement piece? Chuck a bid on the original bloody Death Star prop from Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi. Bidding will start at $196,000.
Then there are the automotive goodies. Depending on your style, you could cop the original Terminator Harley-Davidson, or sentient Beetle Herbie.
On the topic of heavily-modified small cars, how about Mr. Bean‘s recliner-ready Mini? It could be yours for a minimum of $78,000.
And yes, the bus from Speed. Described as “as much a character as any of the human cast,” the GM bus – with untested mechanicals – will have a reserve price of $26,000.
If you genuinely want to take a punt on some of these items, you best be quick: the online auction starts real bloody soon.
Peep the details HERE, and fantasise about tricking out the bus. That’s what we’re doing.
