You could own a ‘Fast Five’ Grand Sport, ‘Green Hornet’ Black Beauty and more Volo Auto Museum sets no-reserve eBay auction
Cynthia Wolf CONTRIBUTOR
Collectors of extremely rare, iconic screen-used cars are about to enjoy the chance of a lifetime Volo Auto Museum is offering during an April 1421 no-reserve eBay auction a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport replica used by Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in the train heist scene from “Fast 5”; a screen-used ’66 Ferrari GTB replica built for “Ford v Ferrari”; a ’65 Econoline van also built for “Ford v Ferrari”; a 1966 Chrysler Imperial “Black Beauty” used in the 2011 remake of “The Green Hornet”; and more. There’s also a Sony promotional “Ghostbusters” hearse from the 2016 film featuring Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones; a 1958 Chevy Nomad that is one of just two built for and used throughout the 2020 thriller “Let Him Go,” featuring Kevin Costner and Diane Lane; and a screen-used 1973 Ferrari Daytona from an upcoming Bradley Cooper film called “Soggy Bottom” — as well as from the TV series “9-1-1.” “Any one of these cars
is a fantastic find and a tremendous investment,” said Brian Grams, director of the museum at 27582 Volo Village Road. “We simply need to make room for some new exhibits, and recoup some of the cost of the upgrades and spectacular new interactive spaces we have been building during the pandemic shutdown.” As is always the case at the ever-evolving Volo Auto Museum, the rarities don’t stop with film-famous cars. This auction will feature at least four immaculately restored and fully functional 1950s kiddie rides, too. Looking to outshine the neighbor’s golf cart? With its eye-catching art-deco styling and flounce-edged bimini top, you may want to place a bid on the 1957 Walker Executive golf cart that also will be included in the auction. A Disney trolley, a 1918 and 1926 Model T and even a 1937 Pierce Arrow camper all will be among the items sold to the highest bidders, with no buyers’ premiums and no reserve, Grams said. “It’s a really exciting grouping,” Grams said. “Winning bidders will walk away with some remarkable treasures. The yellow ‘Ford
v Ferrari’ sports car, for example, was built to replicate an actual racer from the infamous 1966 LeMans — a car that’s worth $40 million today.” Volo’s screen-used No. 57 lookalike features a custom-built chassis built to drive at high track speeds, with a Mustang 5.0 engine and manual 5-speed transmission. For other information about the auction, value estimates, or to bid during the auction dates of April 14-21, go to https://www.volocars. com/the-attraction/AuctionMovie-Cars-and-More. For information about the amazing renovations and new exhibit spaces under construction at the Volo Auto Museum, including Jurassic Gardens, go to volocars.com, call 815-3853644 or find Volo Auto Museum on Facebook. Officials at the Volo Auto Museum plan a May 14 reopening as long as Illinois remains in Phase 4 or better of the state’s COVID-19 recovery plan. The sales division of the Volo Auto Museum has remained open, by appointment only. The Volo Auto Museum is located at 37582 Volo Village Rd., Volo, IL.
This trio of filmfamous cars will be among Volo Auto Museum holdings sold in a no-reserve eBay auction April 1421. Museum officials are making room for new exhibits, and raising money to offset costs of upgrades constructed during the pandemic shutdown.
