The orange Toyota Supra that Brian O\u2019Conner (Paul Walker) is one of the most famous movie cars, and now it’s on auction at Barrett-Jackson.<\/p>\n

Released in 2001, the first Fast & Furious movie was largely responsible for bringing the American Streets to the movie theatres, giving the global audience a taste of the tuner car scenario and illegal adrenaline-spiking street races.<\/p>\n

Ever since its inception, the street-racing movie franchise has kept dishing out crazier sequels ranging from an aircraft heist in Fast & Furious 6 to sending a Pontiac Fiero equipped with rocket thrusters into space in Fast & Furious 9 (now we know where Elon Musk gets his ideas from).<\/p>\n

But what if I told you that you could actually bring a piece of the movie from the sets into your own house? A relic from the first movie of the franchise is up for auction<\/a> in Las Vegas from June 17 through 19.<\/p>\n

Auto collectors and Fast & Furious fans hold their breath as the famous 1994 Toyota<\/a> Supra from the original movie will go on auction at Barrett-Jackson next month. The collection of props from famous movie franchises is nothing new, and it comes as no surprise that the announcement has taken the internet by storm.<\/p>\n

However, this famous piece of movie memorabilia holds a very special place in the hearts of movie lovers all over the world. Driven by the late great Paul Walker<\/a>, the Toyota Supra<\/a> belonged to the on-screen character of Brian O\u2019Conner (played by Walker) and has been used in Fast & Furious 1 for multiple exterior and interior shots. Walker died in a road accident in 2013 as a passenger due to exceeding speed limits.<\/p>\n

Unlike the other Supras from the franchise, the one put on auction is a stock model. The Supra features the famed 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine along with a 4-speed automatic transmission. However, Toyota disguised it like a stick shift for the movie with the help of a small, round gearshift.<\/p>\n

The black and orange Paul Walker Supra will be auctioned along with its official movie parts, including a Bomex front spoiler, APR rear wing, and Dazz Motorsport Racing wheels. Barrett-Jackson has not clarified the starting price, but it clearly mentioned there wouldn\u2019t be a reserve price.<\/p>\n

The auction house also promised to provide all the relevant papers and documentation that would doubt the relic\u2019s authenticity. Also, on an ending note, we miss you, Paulie.<\/p>\n
